Monday
Friends - Fabulous as always with the added benefit of studying this time around.
Friends - Brando got home early so we went to a friend's house to play in the snow on the golf course by their house. Then to IHOP for free pancake day with a big group of us for good conversation, yummy pancakes and more snow.
Wednesday
Friends - Met up with Li for happy hour to drink to a better day the next day for her. Decided we weren't going back to the particular restaurant we went to because of the douche bag waiter who gave us free drinks the first time we came, and went on and on about really stupid topics this time. Annoying. We can avoid that place until he no longer works there. Had a blast any way!
Thursday
Friends - Went to a grand opening party with my bl*g girls and got a goodie bag full of hair accessories, earring, chocolate bourbon fudge and more. The boys made screen-printed ties with an owl and tree branches before Brando picked them up for boy sc*uts. Almost made it to a comedy show with Li and M and was depressed I didn't. Then, I opened my goodie bag and was happy again. Had a tough conversation with KT that I'm not sure is over. I'm just over making plans with people who flake. Much as I loooooove her, if nine times out of ten, she's backing out I don't want to bother. I don't think she realizes it either which is why I called her out on it. So we'll see.
How did you go about that conversation? I have a friend who does that and it's REALLY getting to me... especially since she keeps flaking out on playdates and Amelia just gets crushed and doesn't understand! I am too much of a wimp to say anything though.
ReplyDeleteGFF - It's probably easier for me because she's my best friend. She always ends up apologizing and recognizing what went on. She loves that I hold her up to a higher standard, too, and don't let her get away with being a shitty friend.
ReplyDeleteShe actually has a lot going on in her life right now so she tends to lose focus on friends and time for herself. I try and bring that to her attention when it happens. Also, texting is way helpful for the tougher conversations because it allows me to think about my response.
The first time I spoke to her about this kind of issue was on the phone, but it wasn't personal, but speaking on behalf another friend of hers whom she ditched on her birthday. I had a little lecture prepared about how she needs to make friends priority, blah blah blah. She took it well and apologized to the other friend.
This time when it was personal I called her out via text and it went well. She's amazing though! In general when people do that I find I phase them out of life, sometimes not even on purpose, just because they aren't going to say yes or actually hold true to when they do say yes any way so I stop asking.
