I moved into my new home in July. A woman who lived next door, seemed to be my age and she came out to say hello. She and I both have daughter's the same age, but we (apparently) are MILES apart on exactly what "nice" is.

I have always been friendly, but since the day we moved in, she came over to get our 411 and from that point on. Nada, Nyet, Nothing. She goes in if I am out. She is not ever rude, just seriously dismissive.

My group of women friends were up for the weekend and I think she was outside as we were coming back from a shoppin g trip and I could see her surprise (as if I shouldn't have any friends, or perhaps she didn't think I warranted them).

I know it's Northern VA and people have the reputation of being bi&chy, but gee...Give us all a break and grow up.

I ignore her now. She tried to say hello to me day before yesterday and I gave her a curt hello, grabbed my mail and headed back in.

Now I will just move along...She's not worth the effort...
