I'm feeling disappointed and I guess I should do some step work. Everyone from the ascypaa committee is going to have a wrap up meeting and then we were going to have a potluck. Nice and cheap right? Well they changed their mind and decided to "make reservations someplace affordable" and then go play miniature golf. I'm in the process of moving, so there's no way I can do this. Any place that takes reservations is not affordable. I was the unity chair on the committee, so one of the members said I should plan this, so I came up with the potluck and Winterhaven, a neighboorhood you can go walk through that's all decorated, and FREE. So, my question to you all is, what do you do when all your friends can afford to do stuff and you're gonna be left out? I know I should just accept the situation, accept that I'm powerless and that I"m being responsible with my money. But I'm bummed out because they told me to plan this and then just came up with a completely different plan that I can't participate in. Experience, strength and hope please.

This is one of those times where you look at the situation for what it is and realize it's not your fault and move forward. I think it's kinda wrong of them to plan something different when it was your place to plan it and they completely changed it on you. But that doesn't mean you should get all down and out. While they are out doing whatever they will be doing, gift yourself with something nice, even if just a nice long hot bubble bath with candles around instead of the lights being on and nice mellow music. Reward yourself for trying and doing your part. You're a good person, Rayna. Don't let this bring you down.

Thanks Bama. I'm trying to accept it and move on, it's just hard. I'm feeling a bit hurt that the guy who got me into the unity position keeps shooting down all my ideas and coming up with his own. I think I'll get out of that position when the new committee forms. I'm just upset that it's not going my way lol! But I'm also sure I'm not the only one who can't throw money around. I was trying to keep the events cheap, but someone else wants to run the show, so I'll just let him. Thanks for the guidance.

I can understand feeling hurt and bummed out about this, especially since they asked you to plan it to begin with. Try not to dwell on it, but if anyone asks why you're not there, tell them the truth. The situation probably never occurred to them, but maybe if they know what's going on they'll think about that issue next time.

I saw the guy at the meeting tonight and he said he was just making a suggestion about the dinner thing. So I don't know if it was a misunderstanding or what but he said I'm still planning it, and that he'll help in anyway. So who knows....Maybe I took it wrong. Thanks for letting me bounce this off you guys.

Raynaadi,
Gee sometimes just those kind of thinks happen. Oh well, it will be a good opportunity for you to learn flexi- bility and adaptability. Order an appetizer, if everything else looks too expensive., There are so many good appetizers at most restaurants these days. Most important of all make yourself enjoy this social event. Jane - Oz |

Actually it's not even happening now. All worked up for nothing. =) Thanks for the appetizer tip. I'll do that in the future, or the side salads are usually good too.
