I am not a Gossip Type of Girl!

I guess a sign that I am growing old is the fact that I do not enjoy listening to gossip! I will admit, when I was younger and in my teens and twenties, I could gossip and would gossip about others.

I think once I hit the ripe age of 30 or so, I was no longer interested in gossip and from that time on…it really annoys me when family members or friends call me up and want to gossip about someone I know. When I say annoy me…I really mean, “It freaking annoys me”.

At my super ripe old age of 45, I just don’t have the time of day to sit around and gossip about others. As I have matured over the years, I have realized that if so and so wants me to know their “business”, they will tell me their “business” all on their own!

Furthermore, half the crap you hear from the gossip grapevine has been blown out of proportion or completely been fabricated.

Instead of sitting around gossiping about folks, I would rather take a bubble bath, give myself a manicure/pedicure, take a nap or feed my face with chocolate. Seriously, I just have better things to do with my time than worry about the private lives of other people.

So today, I am venting about all of those folks in this world that have nothing better to do with their time (especially on a Sunday evening) than to sit around and call other people up to spread more gossip!

Do you gossip about others? Do you listen to gossip? Are you like me and just fed up with busy-bodies who sit around and “nose” into other people’s business and then “gossip” about them? ugh!!!
