Oh Boy

I've said it before, and it looks like I'm saying it again. To me, inviting someone to join you for a special occasion is just plain nice and considerate. Even if they can't come, at least they know that they are valued, and wanted.

And I CANNOT stand when people are offended by that, or just down right rude about it.

If you receive an invite... especially with the advances in technology making E invites popular, simply say "Thank you but we will not be attending." SOOO simple, and yet SUPER considerate.

I've run into yet another situation where I invited someone, and then they just aren't listed ANYWHERE. So, since it's been a few months, I invited them again. After all, maybe I was the inconsiderate one, and forgot to invite them. And after all they are important to me, so I want to make sure they know it.

And then, when I look tonight.... KNOWING that I invited them TODAY, and they just aren't ANYWHERE again, I GET IT.

And it's hurtful. And it makes me feel crappy. And like I'm nothing but a joke to them.

And I am REALLY SUPER SICK of having my attempts at making someone feel wanted, and valued turned against me.

So, to you who can't see it for what it is, I HATE how you make me feel!
