shear insanity

When I started writing my ginnygrams, I decided on a few simple rules: Be nice, keep a family rating, and don’t judge.

Sorry, but I have to break all three rules today.

Today, my frolleague (friend plus colleague) Chris and I went for what we thought would be a G-rated walk through our work-neighborhood. Get a little sunshine on our heads, burn a few calories. Holy cow! Look at this topiary insanity! Right here on Kenton Avenue, before God ‘n’ everybody! Thank goodness, Chris had her iPhone. She choreographed a very subtle route over to the house and nonchalantly faced the topes and “checked her email.” We didn’t get caught. She documented. We have proof.

I don’t know what we’re going to do about this, but I’m wishing for either a chainsaw with a silencer or a deal for a new reality show.

About Ginny O'Donnell

After reading a really nice obituary a few years ago, I considered what they'll write about me. "She worked all day, then went home and made supper." Except now, my husband has retired, so he makes the supper. Hm. I sound kinda lazy, but I'm always busy. You'll see. Part 2: I like my original About Me, so I'm keeping it intact. But now I, too, am footloose. Let's see what happens next, shall we? Part 3: Just to keep everything in perspective, I'm keeping parts 1 and 2 intact. Now, I am actively and happily NOT so footloose, doing my thing over at Cottage Door Press. And with it being off its training wheels, I will pick up my ginnygram pen again. Love!

  2. There’s a Tim Burton film in here somewhere. Glad your frolleague was able to document this because I never would have believed it!
