I got invited to a superbowl party, in my own house. Seems 2 others think it would be GREAT if I hosted a super bowl party. I don't even like football and neither does Derek. We get some of the best shopping done on that day because stores are empty.
But they want me to clean my house, cook the food "cause you're the one that cooks and all" and they'll bring the wine, and then I get stuck with the clean up. Because the one gal whom I am having issues with doesn't lift a finger when she's at someone else's house. The other will.
How does one phase a person away? I seem to get called up and asked all the time to help her with this or that (including taking down her kitchen cabinets). The only time she calls is when she wants something. I keep trying to be busy with other things but then it's "Well when you're on the way to the store or town drop by" because I have to drive right by her house to get anywhere and she knows it and comments "just leave 15 min earlier". She also seems to have an issue with Derek. She commented to another friend "we should do girls night, but I'm sure Denise won't come. She's so attached to that husband of hers." Um..yeah I am and proud of it. If she invites me anywhere it's always a "girl" think "girl shopping or girl movie night" She's a know it all as well.
I never told her about the Master Gardener program, but darn if she didn't find out and sign up and insist on carpooling.
She introduced me to another gal, whom I really like, but figured she'll be sacrificed in the process of walking away from the other because they've been friends for a couple of years now. The worst part is, she used to work for my Dad on the Sheriff's dept. He and my mom just loved her. So that adds more stress to it.
Sorry I just need to rant as I set here getting ready to head to class.
