Anyway, I think you are right to move forward and to spend way less time and energy on those who can't be bothered to reciprocate. Sheesh. People are wacky and I can't explain them. <abbr><em>teenis last blog post..<a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Vtroom/~3/tQQdm19SCFg/" rel="nofollow">The Name Is</a></abbr></em> I’m sorry only four people showed up for that and I can totally understand how you feel because I would certainly go through all those emotions myself.

I am so sorry to hear about that happening sometimes people just really suck and I can't believe how rude people can be nowadays I mean how hard is it to respond to a RSVP or if you make a commitment to come then actually come, sorry I am having my own experience with this at the moment with my wedding less than 30 days away and trying to get a head count...just saying I can totally relate. Hope the cake turned out well for N. I am really loving your blog, good luck with everything!!

I'm sorry to hear that you had to go through that (even though I don't know the in's and out's of your blog, this being my first time here...) Life is a balance, and while it is easy to choose to let go of certain relationships over this sort of thing, it is also a choice to repeatedly extend the hand of friendship, knowing that it may be slapped away at any given moment....and only you can decide who is worth what... I too agree that it seems so much easier to find people of like minds online and there are many kind people out there.....but I also wonder how much may be neglected in their own lives while they spend their time cultivating online friendships..... I know because I've been guilty of it myself.....so I suppose I'm rambling only to kind of encourage you that yes, some people are pretty worthless, some people let time and circumstances dictate over the important things in life, and some people are golden... We must not give up hope for one another.... Many blessings and enjoy the wonder of pregnancy and soon to be motherhood.... And if you tell me that your "Life in Evansville" is Evansville Indiana, I'm just gonna die!!!

I went to a friends 21st even though I had back pain and being pregnant couldnt drink anything, and I'm glad I did becasue only 10 people came out of about 150 and she appreciated the fact that I came, pregnant belly and all. If I hadnt came I would have felt so guilty. For my baby shower I invited 70 people who lived close enough to make it and 25 came. Half of them had legitimate reasons and sent a present or card, but half didn't bother. I just finished sending out thankyou cards to EVERYONE who attended and everyone who sent along a gift. It means a lot when people actually make an effort to come because so many dont bother at all. <abbr><em>Tanyas last blog post..<a href="http://fullbloodedtasmaniac.blogspot.com/2009/05/just-toying-with-you-mum.html" rel="nofollow">Just toying with you, mum</a></abbr></em> Sorry to hear about it, but it happens all the time…people just get so slack, they think that them not being there wont make that much of a difference and they come up with so many excuses….

It has a cool whip/ vanilla pudding frosting. :-o He wanted me to make up something fun. Each year it is something different. Last year it was red velvet cake…
