Some of you may know that I'm planning my own bachelorette party - largely because I know that, if I don't, there won't be one, and I'd really, really like to have one. And as pathetic as that sounds, I now think I can top it!! :rant: Today it occurred to me that my original date is the weekend before Halloween, when all the big shindigs will be taking place. So, I checked the calendar and bumped it up a week - which also nicely coincides with my fiance's bachelor party, so I thought woo-hoo me!
Well...apparently not. Cancel the woo-hoo. First, the one person I knew I could count on to be there (my cousin) tells me that the new date doesn't work. Next, another friend tells me that hers is on that same night (apparently we're supposed to have a "bridal shower" and a bachelorette party?? I didn't get that memo!). A third person, who'd declined the original invite because she has "something" planned also apparently can't make this date, either. Not to mention the people who I have yet to even hear the proverbial peep out of - thanks, folks, really!!
I don't even want to have a stupid bachelorette party if it has to be this big of a pain in the arse. I can't get people to tell me when they can make it (I've asked twice, with pretty much zero response), and when I make a change to free up prime party time for everyone, I get more grief instead. :no:
Right now I'm thinking I need some e-mailable pineapples and a bottle of something distilled.
(sigh) And thank you for listening to my rant. We now return you to our previously-scheduled forum, already in progress.
