The View from up Here

Let me tell you a few of my favorite things about living in a condo complex:

#1.  I am certain I have the best view of anybody else.  I get a direct shot of the pool & the main entrance parking lot.
Some days for fun I sit on the deck & watch tow trucks towing cars parked in the wrong stalls.  A few times I have even seen these victims come running out in very few clothes to stop tower.  On one occasion I saw a tow truck attempt to tow away 3 different vehicles based on what the person in distress was telling him to do, I imagine it was something like this, "I couldn't park in my own spot, cause THAT car is in my spot." Then the next guy says the same thing so it's kind of like duck duck goose for the tower & pure entertainment for me.
I also get to enjoy this teenage couple, I like to refer to them as the "Romeo & Juliet" couple.  Get into big fights with arms flailing, and the whole works.  The girl usually ends up in tears.  I wonder what she's still doing with that guy.
Then we've got the hot bikini babes.  Don't know where they come from, but it makes me super uncomfortable to take Maeva to the pool with my sweet farmer tan in my mom-modest-suit with all these as Ryan likes to call them, "Jersey-liscious" types strutting their fake stuff all over the place.  My favorite part about this group is how done up they get for the pool.  Hair, make-up, the whole nine yards.
Today, I saw this hot-shirtless-muscle man pumping iron right outside the gym??? Maybe he was multi-tasking.  Working on his tan while getting strong??? Maybe he's waiting for an invitation to join the garage bods who work out in their open garage? Either way, it made my day.
The diamond in the rough though has to go to this fellow we like to call, Closet Smoker.  He sits in his storage closet on the deck & smokes.  Now you can't smoke within 25 ft of the building, but this guy thinks he is so tricky & no one knows he's in there building a campfire in his mouth.  What he didn't account for was our bedroom window that faces his deck.  He spends HOURS in there!  Last week while in there he was blaring some extremely loud old love songs.  "I wanna know what love is"  & "I've been waiting for the girl like you." Those 2 same songs over & over again for 5 HOURS!  I am no even kidding!  It's was the best!!!
Hmmm, what else do I love about condo living??? Well I guess that is it.  I guess I just love the view.

This is probably one of those, "ya had to be there" moments.  But I just had to document them for my own purposes.

This is awesome! You should be an investigative reporter for your condo complex. And write for the Condo Gazette!

PS don't be shy, come down and say "hi" I'm the jersey-licious fakey on the left.

Ha Ha, no you didn't just "have to be there".

I LOVE the jersey-licious one the best. I CAN'T stand when Mom's think it's ok to wear basically a bra and panty's at the pool for their kids to see. Who want to see that?

Rhiannon I am so jealous. I am missing out! All I get to see is Lindsey in her room whenever she has the blinds open... sigh... :)

Oh and I do also have to endure those jersey-licious babes. Gross.
