Gossip Monger

     So two weeks ago H-man loaded a bunch of crap into the back of his truck and drove off, he hasn't been home since.The other night I changed the locks on the house.
  Oh, the old lady tongues in our neighborhood must be a-wagging. For almost two weeks now no one has said a word to me, this after a year of non stop questions and advice. Nothing. Today I had several different neighbors come up to me and ask how me and the baby were.
  I offer nothing as to the state of my affairs. I smile politely and say "oh, just fine"  I'd  rather they don't know, because, frankly, that's much more fun.
 The Husband has taken on a job for the next few months down South. On his way out of town I had him take a bunch of our excess crap to our storage unit. A few days ago I noticed that our front door knob was falling apart so I went to the hardware store bought some supplies and changed the knob out (that's what she said). Our next door neighbor was trying to be inconspicuous about watching me but as I wrestled the hardware into place (er, that's what she said?) I couldn't help but notice her face staring out from her kitchen window.
  He comes home on Saturday. I propose we have a big screaming match in the driveway before he takes off. But I guess we'll see what happens.
