Everyone has character traits that may not be all that flattering.
I can be ultra competitive. Are you shocked? Well, it's true.
In my apartment building I am known for my lovely spring and summer flowers, cute outdoor decorations and such. No one else decorates like I do. It's my thing...at least it was.
I have a new neighbor who I secretly can't stand for she has stolen my thunder. I came home tonight and took the little dog out back only to see that Miss Goody-Goody recently visited a nursery and has planted lovely flowers and put out all her spring and summer decorations on her patio. My patio looks like a septic tank compared to hers.
Upon viewing this travesty, I began to compile a mental list of needed items to out-do her. It seems this weekend I will be visiting Home Depot for licorice mulch, potting soil, flowers, a hanging plant, and yellow paint to spruce up my patio furniture.
Am I proud of myself?
No.
Am I going to let her win?
Not a chance.
