I'm not a snob...really!

Twice today I felt like such a snob. Not intentionally! I went for a walk today...and I must interject here, that walking is when I'm the biggest snob ever. I don't make eye contact at the best of times, but when I'm walking I feel so vulnerable, so out there, and I don't look at the people in cars driving by. It's a defense mechanism. I always have people saying "I saw you walking the other day and you didn't even wave". That's because I didn't see them. I'm in my own little world. I have my music blasting and so even if you honk, I likely won't notice. Back to today...I'm walking back onto the street that leads to our bay and there are 3 people walking with a dog. I see one of the people and I don't recognize her so I just look the other way and keep going. So I'm home shortly after my walk, sitting on my deck, when the aforementioned 3 people and dog walk around the corner down the street from our house. That's when I realize it's neighbors from down the street. Oops. They must think I'm a jerk! Yikes.

Second incident, I'm driving to my parents to pick Ella up and I see a woman and a girl on bikes just before my parents driveway. I don't really pay attention even though the woman makes eye contact with me and I drive by. Then I do a double take and realize I think I know who that is. Double whammy! Twice in one afternoon. I'm going to start making a point of looking at people who drive or walk past me. So if I've given you an unintentional brush off, sorry! I'm going to try better.
