Three months ago, a neighbor down the road threw a birthday party and put balloons up, every couple of hundred feet, leading to their house. I first noticed them as I drove home from school one afternoon. There was one on a bridge, then a stop sign, then several electrical poles, then their mailbox. I noticed them the following day, then the next day, and then the day after that. After 3 months, they're still up.
Often, you can judge what kind of mood I'm in by how I react when I see these lifeless balloons hanging by a string. If I'm having a good day then I hardly pay them any mind but if I'm in a bad mood I start making covert plans to cut them all down and cram them in the neighbor's mailbox.
Today? It's a good day.
Happy Memorial Day!

You're doing good, I probably would have taken care of that a while ago!
ReplyDeleteI would not be able to keep seeing them without becoming irritated, but I know it's better to just let stuff go.
ReplyDeletenice post. will you let us know when you shove them in the mailbox? maybe take a picture? that would make my day (even though it will probably mean you're having a bad day, so that's not so good...anyway...).
ReplyDeleteHave a nice, short week! :)
Shoving them in the mailbox! Good idea. And actually very kind. I am sure there are waaaay worse things one could do.
ReplyDelete:)
that is funny Ali, sometimes those little things are so very annoying.
ReplyDeleteI wonder if they will still be up when they throw the next party.
ReplyDeleteI am glad it was a good day! LOL! My good day would be doing that mailbox thing...
ReplyDeleteYeah, what's that about? I still think the mailbox plan is a good one. lol
ReplyDeleteI totally thought of these balloons on Sunday, when I confettied a path to my front door. Of course the confetti didn't stay nice on MY sidewalk so I could sweep it up, and it's blowing all over the street as we speak.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure my neighbors are either all like "oh, cute, sparkles" or "litterbug biznatch!"
