My best friend's sister is COMPLETELY annoying me today.
Warning: This will be long.
Today is my best friend's 30th birthday. I was planning a surprise party for earlier in the month. Just thought the timing would be better than this week, more people would be able to show, and as I'm getting ready to move, I didn't even know if I would be living in the same state as her this week.
Went thru a lot of how about this, and how about that's. Tried getting help from others in the area, but decided to go on my own when I didn't get any responses. Checked with her hubby and had a plan.
Emailed her sister to let her know the plan (sister and mom of friend both moved about 5 hours away from hometown). Well, they are taking all this vacation the week of her birthday and wanted to do a surprise party. Fine. Cancel plans, cancel hall I had reserved. Emailed a list to sister from bridal shower invites (that was another debacle. 3 days before the shower the sister hadn't ordered the cake like she said she would 2 weeks earlier).
I hear nothing else. Until last week I get a random forwarded email that said "Of course your address wasn't on that list. The pary is at 7".
That's it. I had to look back in the email to find the date and place. I have no idea if 7 is the surprise, or if that's when we're supposed to show up.
So, today is the actual day. I assumed that since they made a big deal out of the sis and the mom taking all this vacation they would have something big planned. Birthday girl wanted to go to a certain restaurant and do this grazing menu they have. Minimum of 4 people and like $35-40 per person. Fine by me she made a big deal out of my 30th earlier this year.
Asked her yesterday what the plan was. I ASSUMED her family would plan something. She said there weren't any. And, here's the kicker, her mom and sister took off to drive an hour and a half to have lunch with her old college roommates, on her sister's birthday. I found this out and called birthday girl's husband at work. Asked if he had any plans for her.
He didn't. He was told they were going to this restaurant and he'd be the only guy. So he decided to stay home. They didn't call me? Nope. Well, he gave them my number. They were also supposed to call me, he says, to get a recipe for biscuits and gravy because they wanted to make her "favorite" breakfast to serve her in bed this morning. They didn't call.
So, she and I are going to lunch and a movie. Which I know will be a good time.
I feel so bad because if I'd known she had nothing planned for today. If I would have known this I would have done something. But, like I said, she made a big deal out of taking all this vacation to spend the week and her birthday with her sister, and I just assumed they would have it planned.
GRRRR
Thanks for letting me vent. So, THAT'S who's annoying ME today!!!
