Happy Halloween (belated...yeah I know)!
Remember how I said I was going to post pictures of my Mother Nature costume last post? Yeah, I left my camera at home, so no pictures! Here's the official costume picture though:
I did not wear heels, but metallic gold gladiator sandals instead! They were much more comfortable! I also wore metallic gold eyeshadow with a mossy green shadow in the outer corners of my eyes. It was pretty! I was so ticked I left my camera at home! By the time I got home, I was so tired that I hopped in the shower and went straight to bed after that.
I also believe that I mentioned my dislike for flaky people. Well, I had a talk with the one I had initially spoke about. I don't know how I feel about the conversation. I got some things out what I wanted, but this person mostly got what they wanted out. I think one of the major issues we had was the deal to swap some items. This person said their half of the deal was going to be done by the time school started, and it wasn't. Here is the thing with me: if someone tells me that they will have such-and-such done by such-and-such time, I expect it to be done. When it isn't done, I get the impression that the person is very lazy or very flaky. I am a very time oriented person. I believe that tasks should be done within a timely manner. When I told that person I felt that way they replied with, "The more and more people push me to do something, the less inclined I am to do it."
Really? So they decide to act like a child? That seriously reminds me of one of my kids at the center:
"I don't want to do it!"
"Why?"
"Because you're telling me to!"
This person is also getting married in July. I had told their significant other that I can't be in the wedding party if things don't change soon. I was barely hearing from the person I was having issues with. They never answered my texts or phone calls, so I was beginning to think they were avoiding/ignoring me.
I understand that it's an honor to be invited to be a part of someone's big day, trust me. I used to work David's Bridal. However, I don't feel comfortable spending so much money (especially the money I don't have) on the dress, shoes, hair, makeup, nails, bachelor/bachelorette parties, bridal showers, and a wedding gift. The last wedding I participated in, I spent a ton of money on the above mentioned and afterwards the bride stopped talking to me. I am starting to see this happen BEFORE the wedding in this situation. I told them that I would be more than happy to help with the wedding, and of course be a witness of their vows. I don't know if that will happen either.
Another reason this person got ticked with me is because I messaged their significant other about the issue, and not them. The reason I messaged the S.O. is because I could NEVER get a hold of them, and I didn't want them to explode on me! So, the S.O. doesn't want to talk to me anymore, because he/she doesn't want to deal with my "petty crap." Nice. I think this is one of those situations where I need to just walk away. We got things on the table, cleared the air, and I need to move on. As I quote my dear friend Amanda: "Why would you want to bother with someone like that?" I'm not sure, to be honest. I tend to fall headfirst into a friendship. I think I may be a little too trusting at times and I believe that everyone has good in them, and that they wouldn't do anything mean or untrustworthy towards me. I'm slowly learning that this is not true.
ANYWHO...
Lauren is also coming home for Christmas! I'm going to be spending time with friends during the holidays, I can already tell! ;]
I think this has been a long enough post. I'm going to have a lovely Starbucks with Ms. Ryan now. There is always so much to discuss!
Later Days!
