SO I ALWAYS PRIDE MYSELF ON BEING THE ON TOP OF THING, ORGANIZED GAL, WHO ALWAYS MAKES SURE THAT EVERYONE GETS WHERE THEY NEED TO BE.  EVEN IF I DON'T HAVE TO BE THERE AND FIGURE THEY'LL FORGET I ALWAYS AM LOOKING OUT FOR THOSE "FORGETFUL" KINDS OF FRIENDS - WE ALL HAVE THEM :)

ANYWAS-  WE'RE GETTING MARRIED AUGUST 8TH, SOON SOON, AND I HAVE ANOTHER FRIEND WHO IS GETTING MARRIED ON AUGUST 29TH.  SHE IS THE KIND OF BRIDE THAT DOESN'T WANT TO REALLY PLAN HER WEDDING, IS PRETTY MUCH RELYING ON ONE OF HER TWO BRIDESMAIDS (WHO IS ALSO IN OUR WEDDING) TO PLAN IT, AND NEVER PLANS AHEAD OR WRITES THINGS DOWN.

KNOWING HER FOR SO LONG, I KNEW THAT SHE WOULDN'T BE PLANNING DATES AHEAD OF TIME, SO I MADE SURE THAT MY DATES WERE SET IN STONE LIKE 4 MONTHS AGO- AS TO TRY TO MAKE IT EASIER TO HAVE NO CONFLICTING ISSUES SINCE WE BOTH HAVE SO MUCH GOING ON.

SO- 3 WEEKS AGO SHE FINALLY ASKS ME ALL THE DATES OF MY SHOWERS BC SHE WAS FINALLY STARTING TO TRY AND GET ORGANIZED.

YESTERDAY- TEXT HER TO MAKE SURE HER SHOWER WAS STILL ON FOR JUNE 7TH BC INVITES HAVEN'T GOTTEN TO ANYONE AND NO ONE HAS SAID ANYTHING. SHE SAID YES-

LAST NIGHT- SHE TEXTS ME AND ASKS ME THE DATES OF MY SHOWERS AGAIN.  (RECAP- I HAD ALREADY GIVEN THEM TO HER TWICE BEFORE THIS AND SHE NEVER WROTE THEM DOWN- WEIRD..NOT REALLY .. KIND OF EXPECT THIS FROM HER)  FAST FORWARD- I ASKED IF HERS WAS STILL STAYING THIS DATE? OR IF IT WAS CHANGING? OR WHAT WAS GOING ON? RESPONSE- "CHANGING IT"  GREAT!! SO UNORGANIZED.

POINT OF THE STORY- SHE TELLS ME THAT 2 OF HER DATES ARE THE SAME AS MINE!! REALLY!?!?!?  AND ONE OF THEM IS ON THE MAIDS/FRIENDS DATE SHOWER!!!

THIS IS WHY I MADE SURE I WAS SUPER ON TOP OF IT- BC I KNEW SHE WOULDN'T WOULDN'T WOULDN'T BE. NOW I'M JUST KIND OF GIVING UP ON HER BC SHE KIND OF UNREALIABLE- LOVE HER TO DEATH- BUT HOW DOES SOMEONE REALLY DO THIS??

 ANYONE ELSE WITH SIMILAR PROBLEMS??

......

I think the most irritating thing for me would be the fact that you had told her your dates far in advance and also told her many times.  YOu went out of your way to set your dates early to accommodate her so that she could plan hers when she got around to it, then knowing when your dates were.  WOW... Yes, I would be mad, but there is not much you can do, so mad may not be the best way to be... make the best of it and try to have fun. :)
