Have you ever had one of those “friends”, who are just out to make your life miserable…well I have one of those. See, this person and I, haven’t been friends in years. I’ll call us acquaintances…In high school, we were best friends…after high school we had a falling out. She didn’t like the fact that I was friends with someone and defended that person. OWELL So since then, we haven’t spent much time together. Heck, up until two weeks ago, all communication was via a social network. She was planning a trip with her family to a beach about 20 min away from me. (Right now we live about 3 hours apart) She was going to be there for a week. We exchanged numbers and made plans on getting together for lunch. (she has a two year old son that I’ve never met because every time I tried to see him, there were too many excuses flying around) So, when I knew she was here, I sent her three text messages. Never got a response.  Now I’m pretty knowledgeable on the games that she plays, so I knew I wouldn’t get a response and I wouldn’t see her. I even told my boyfriend, I said, she won’t text, call or email me until she gets home…then she’ll have an excuse as to why…Now if there wasn’t history in her doing this, why would I call it EXACTLY? So she gets home and she texts me. She says, so sorry I forgot my phone.  But hmm, we live in 2009 and I know for a fact she was on the previous mentioned social network while she was on her vacation, a simple email would’ve been sufficient! So, in the process of all of this, that “friend” got deleted off of my social network friends list! I did my version of spring cleaning. Well, it took her about a week to realize that she’s been deleted…now she’s won’t leave me alone. She’s calling me childish for deleting her, telling me to keep on playing games, blah blah blah. But who’s playing games? obviously she’s insulted that she’s been deleted but I don’t see what the big deal is. Just leave me alone? I don’t need her as my “friend”. I haven’t seen her in 4 years…what kind of friend is that? I mean, would any of you harass someone if you’ve been deleted or would you take it as lesson learned, move on? After countless nasty emails yesterday, I decided to block all communications from her…SO guess what she did? she started texting me at 7am!  She is the kind of person who picks a fight with you but tries to make it sound like you started it? I’m 32 years old, quite happy with where my life is, I have awesome parents, a wonderful boyfriend and a few very close friends who I love. I don’t need the added stress of someone who is just bitter. She’s always had a way of insulting me and blaming me for things I didn’t do just to make herself look good in the end. I just read thru her texts again and it’s almost quite humorous. She WOKE ME UP and by the last text, she was like stop texting me with this bull and grow up and it’s funny how you can’t confront me face to face, you have to do it thru text….I was like whoooooaaaa! who started it? who’s confronting who??? How old are we? I’m just at a loss for words! So this is my morning! lol I’m so cranky! The good news is that my niece is coming over so I’ll have a 6 year old to distract me for a few hours. Then I’ll head to the gym to take my frustrations out on mr. treadmill…maybe today I’ll call her Mrs. Treadmill and pretend that she’s my annoying “friend”!

I don’t blog very often, nor am I very active in the BS community, however, I do take the time every day to read as many blogs as I can…and I must say, there is soooo much negativity going on lately! It makes me not want to read anymore!  I thought this site was about coming together and supporting each other, not saying negative things about the ONE PERSON who is ALWAYS there for EVERYONE. Over the past few weeks, I’ve seen (on more than one occasion) a blog in some way directed towards Nancy. Now, Nancy and I do not speak very often, but I will say this: Her blogs are the first ones I read. Why? because she is real, honest and struggles every day just like the rest of us. She puts herself out there (good, bad and indifferent) in hopes that she can make someone else’s day a little easier. She is living proof that if we want something bad enough, we can achieve it with healthy eating and exercise, not diet pills or fad diets.  Yes, Nancy speaks her mind, but she does it in a POSITIVE way and I’m sure most of you will agree with me when I say that Nancy is an inspiration to all of us…and if you don’t agree with me, that’s fine, just keep your negativity to yourselves because we are all better off without negative people in our lives.
