Friday already?

Today is Friday, already.

I was going to go to Tahoe this weekend with the family -- but then it occured to me that my best friend (BF) is in town. She could come to Tahoe, too, ordinarily. But then other things happened. See, my best friend's little sister used to work for me. This is important news for many of you who read this (and by that I mean, JMF).

So I once made the mistake of hiring my best friend's little sister. She was a hard worker and all, but, still, I probably should had hired somebody I could've fired if I didn't like. See?

(So I just looked at Bill Tracking and all the bills I was tracking today are now... not on any agendas. Awesome.)

Well, anyhoo, the best friend's little sister (the BFLS) is graduating from college this weekend. And BF decided to have a big fancy graduation party for BFLS. While BFLS and I are close, I don't care much for parties that create an awkward intermingling of people's close friends, family, and liquor. Sorry, I'm just not comfortable drinking 'round other peoples' families.

So anyway, when BF decided to invite me to her sister's party, I told her no way, Jose (actually, her name is 'Stina, but for the purposes of that remark, it was Jose). See, there's things I like to do and things I don't like to do and I didn't feel compelled, at the time, to participate in something I wouldn't have liked.

Ugh. But then she got all "I'll show that dts what's what" on me. The next day, I have a sad BFLS on my voicemail saying "I know 'Stina invited you, but I wanted to invite you myself because it's really important to me that you come."

Stupid people and their life events expecting me to be all bla bla bla bla bla bla WHATEVER! I'm gonna go, probably, and I'm gonna have to find some kind of non-alcohol related gift. Something funny. Or cash. I'm not entirely sure which one would be better at this point. Probably the cash, because she's an english major and is back working at starbucks these days.

SO not fair of my best friend, by the way, to go all nuclear on me and have the sister call with some sob story. I do giving her points, though, for knowing almost exactly what it would take to make me cave. But still...
