Last Friday I wasn't looking forward to going out with my friends because of some [at least the way I perceived it] nasty comments that a friend made the week before. So, a couple hours before I was supposed to go another friend called and invited Teacup Guy and I over, I jumped at the opportunity. I called and left messages for both of my usual Friday night friends telling them I wouldn't be joining them. Neither of them called me back, and T didn't call me over to weekend to go shopping, as she usually does. So now it is Friday again, and I still haven't heard from either of them. I e-mailed T to see what she wanted to do tonight, but I haven't heard back from her yet. I'm afraid both of them are going to be pissed at me tonight, and I am not sure how to handle it.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

They didn't pay out his vacation time for our trip to Michigan.

He did throw up last night, but I'm not sure it was illness-related, as he appeared to be aiming for the cat.How good was his aim?
Re: the cookbook project - in Nigella Bites, probably half the recipes come from other cookbooks. She cites the cookbook and its author, says nice things about it, and then explains that this is her twist on that recipe.I think all of my recipes originally come from *somewhere*, a friend, a restaurant, a cookbook. But they have all become mine over the years. Partially through consciously making adjustments and partially because I am physically incapable of following a recipe precisely.
Damn, I'm not through with the petty yet this morning, am I?Don't be hoarding the petty. I need to have some to ensure I get to leave early today on account of staying til after eight on Tuesday for Client from Hell. We are quite slow today so I best get the time.
Oof, sj. That sounds uncomfortable.
eta: Oh, Aimee, that is of the suck. Can you beat them with a stick?
My post number was almost pure evil, but it got distracted...
I'd wait for poker night, and casually drop "Say Bob... I notice I'm not invited to your wedding. What's up with that?"
The good thing is we have the relationship where I can actually do this. He's like a big brother, so I can pretty much smack him upside the head and say "What is your issue, dude?". His mom'll probably help.
it also might be that the bride's family made up the guest list and couldn't decide your status.
I know he at least sent out the invites himself.
Are you old friends with his bride-to-be, as well, Lilty?
No, although she's very nice and I like her a lot. They've been dating almost a year. We went to the Sox victory parade together. I thought we bonded!
Bah. I have to go to work. Six more days.
Can you beat them with a stick?
Stick? STICK??? No, they will an anvil punted at their pointy heads. Or, even evil-er - I'll send ita and her swords after them.

If anything, it's easier for future geneaologists. (Isn't that an oxymoron)
Not any more than "Future History"
sj, I think you just need to keep whatever reasons you give for bowing out last week as simple as possible. You're not yet sure just what they're thinking -- they might not be mad at all about last week, they might not connect it to the comments from the week before.
Aimee, sending ita is probably a good idea, but make sure you go with her so you get the pleasure of watching the payroll office become the bloody pulp office.
Oof, sj. That sounds uncomfortable.
Yup. And, I still feel like hiding tonight.

T. knows I was upset about the comments the other friend made the week before, but she thought I was overreacting. I don't know if she told our other friend or not. I mentioned money reasons and not feeling up to going out when I left the messages last week. Both were true. Staying in with friends watching a movie and eating snacks was just cheaper/easier for me. My depression has been a little worse the last couple of weeks, and I just couldn't deal with the situation.
