If You Really Want to Make Me Mad

Have you ever had this happen? You are going along thinking everything in your life at the moment is going well just to find out that someone/friend is mad at you for something you did months ago? (is that a girl or a boy MAD monkey??? Can't tell!)

I have had this come up at various times in my life and it never ceases to amaze me. Why do these so-called friends never just ask me at the time, "Were you serious?" or "When you said BLANK this is how it made me feel." Give me the opportunity to either explain or apologize. Don't nurse a grudge for months!

I have a sharp tongue. My TRUE friends know that I would never, ever do anything to knowingly hurt them. I have had some of my closest friends since high school so I don't feel that all the fault lies with me. But I am willing to share the load and would totally apologize and assure someone I was kidding or whatever.

What I have noticed is that there are people out there in the world who are WAITING for some one to look at them wrong, or say something just the wrong way so they can be all overly-sensitive about it and then hold it in for months before they ever say anything.

I do not have time for these people. If you want to be that sensitive then please do it around someone else. I will only disappoint you eventually.

I had this happen recently and it totally stunned me. The person who "thinks I am mad at her" is a person with an equally quick sense of humor and sarcastic. She is the last person I would think would take something purposely the wrong way. I refuse to acknowledge it and even the evening that it happened ( I was joking AND there was wine involved) another person told her that I was just kidding.

It took several months of her avoiding me and giving me the cold shoulder before I ever even noticed (see how clueless I am!) and then I asked someone else what the deal was. Boom. Got my answer and I was stunned.

Fun weekend at the Frio. Except for the whole moth migration/invasion. My car was disgustingly covered with moth guts. We were staying out in the country and yes, a Longhorn cow even got into our yard. I am trying to post a pic but for some reason it isn't uploading. Just imagine, the hubs waving a red plastic dinner plate at the cow in his attempt to be a matador and drive it out of the gate.
