I have ONE person coming to my birthday crop! So far about 8 people have rsvp'd that they can't come. All good reasons, nothing personal or anything. I'm just so disappointed.
When I read my post about lunch with my mom it popped into my head that maybe I'm supposed to finally invite my mom to come, but I don't know if I'd ready for that! Lunch was nice, but I'm not sure how we'd do on an all day thing.
I'm hoping that a couple of new people who haven't rsvp'd can come.
Wish me luck!
Now there, that's my whining for the day. Does anybody else have a disappointment they'd like to share? You listened to me, so I'll listen to you-let's have it!
It is nice that the folks at least RVSPd that they won't be coming, rather than that they will be coming and then never show up (which has happened to us a few times and we wound up with toooo much leftover food! We were moving too so couldn't just freeze it til we needed it).
That's an old pity party for me. My latest one is that I keep getting told to delegate and that my projects have some priority, but the folks I delegate to keep getting "top priority" stuff thrown at them by the person who told me to delegate! It's been three weeks and my 8 hours of work that I 'delegated' is still undone! I am just going to do it myself so I don't have to be frustrated by it any more. And then I'll get chewed out for not delegating, I'm sure.
Sorry, no stamping or scrapping related content. :(
Wow people actually RSVP'd! Sorry there aren't more coming. I hope it turns around for you.
My whine for today is that I only have 2 people coming to my first SAS. Whenever I have a low turn out I feel like such a looser and those who show up will think maybe I shold be coming to this. I could keep whining but I won't. Thanks for letting me share.

BTW, good luck and have fun at your crop, and I hope you have a fabulous birthday!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks! So far it is just me and another girl, but I plan on having fun anyway. It's just so disappointing when you think a bunch of people are going to be there, and then it just dwindles down to nothing.
Anybody in OKC wanna come? :grin:
Erin, I would love to join you girls for your crop the next time you have one!!! How about after December 6th when the baby is here! Don't forget to PM me an invite.
first of all, good luck with your crop - that is why I don't host SU parties anymore...no one seems to want to come! too disappointing...
As far as my pity party for the day (non stamping related, sorry!)...today is my birthday and none of my friends seem to have remembered! I have two close friends, saw one of them today and no mention!! Their b-days are a week apart from each other in the spring so thats easy to remember ( I always do!)...but me, I'm floating out here in October all by myself!! oh well - thanks for letting me whine...I think my dh and kids are tired of hearing about the fact that my "friends" forgot...they remembered though so I should just be happy about that!!!
thanks!
I have a whine. We rented one of those big green dumpsters to throw trash away because we're moving at the end of the month and have accumulated a whold bunch of crap. We've had the dumpster for about a week and DH has yet to help throw stuff away. That's my whine for the day.
thank you everyone - didn't mean to hijack the thread...but just have to mention that one of my friends came to my house today...saw the flowers my dh sent me and never commented on them nor did that or the b-day cards tip her off! geesh! oh well! thanks again...

I'm really sorry that your friends forgot, I've had that happen to me before too and it is somewhat upsetting, especially if you've always recognized their birthdays! I try not to take it too personally, I know people are so busy these days and some people are just not as organized either. I have everyone's birthday in my day planner and try to check on the first of the month so I can get their cards ready to mail. That's not to say I don't occasionally get behind but I'll still send a belated card.
Anyway, I want to wish you a Happy Birthday from me!

I've kinda got the same thing going on! I'm hosting a SU! workshop this Saturday for a friend who just became a new demo and originally I had about 10 people coming but now several have had to back out for various reasons, all legitimate too, but it is disappointing. So now we're looking at maybe 5 coming. Some people have not RSVP'd at all so I'm hoping that maybe I'll be surprised and a few of them will just show up. This is why I usually don't do home parties but I really wanted to help my friend get her business going! At least the ones that I know are coming are really into crafts so I think she might get some nice orders and possibly a booking. You may have some show up as well if they didn't RSVP that they weren't coming. Sometimes people forget to do that especially if they were planning on attending. Good luck and have a Great Birthday!
I'm having a pity party! Wanna join me?
