In My Mind’s Blog

As I get older, I realize that there are people in my life that I truly don’t care for.  I saw someone today that I haven’t seen in a while and I found myself not wanting to acknowledge that person (she didn’t see me anyway).  I guess it’s because I know this person has a bad attitude, everyone sees it, but I always tend to overlook that part.  It’s not that I’m buddy buds with this person but when I think of the times that I hanged out with her I felt uneasy and not myself.  I give her mercy laughs and I really don’t have fun when I’m around her.  For some reason, we got into this obligation of giving b-day and christmas gifts to each other thru the years. This year I did an experiment.  I purposely did not greet her and give her a gift on her b-day.  I emailed her a week later to apologize for the belated greeting to which she replied that she doesn’t care for b-days anymore.  Well, my b-day was last week and I didn’t get an email or gift from her….which is perfectly A-OK with me.  Am I sounding like a Sienfeld episode?   Anyway, I hope this is it with my friendship with her.  I’ll say ‘hi’ to her if I see her, but I don’t want to feel obligated to her if my heart is not in it.  Later gators!
