OK, I'm bored. But I just saw something that made me laugh so hard, I have to share.

It's winter (yeah, right) and most of the leaves here are down - and my next-door neighbour did a hatchet job on a lot of plants in her back yard. So, for the first time since we moved in 4 years ago, I can see the garage apartment in the yard behind her house from my back steps.

So, I'm standing on the steps, marveling at the blue, blue sky, trying not to watch the dog do her thing, when a motion catches my eye.

I look over and see a woman standing on the porch of the aforementioned garage apartment. She's heavyset, strawberry blonde, in sort of a nurse’s shirt/jacket thing.

She lights up a cigarette. Not just any cigarette, but one of those super long ones in a cigarette holder! You know, like Cruella de Vil.

Then, she starts shaking an aerosol can, lifts up her shirt and starts spraying on underarm deodorant! (OK, I'm assuming it's deodorant - I hope it is at least. hehehe)

I had to cover my mouth to prevent myself from laughing out loud. I call Gabby and once we are inside, I just lost it.

Maybe you just had to be there, but between the long cig holder and the spray deodorant - it was way too comedic.
