sad that messy friend didn't show - her habits make it hard to follow through and she hurts herself - she knows and I am sure it's part of her has social anxiety even if she seems an extravert. She just hurts herself and then people don't trust her to follow through - I think she doesn't know that it is better to say no right away instead of putting it off and then it's too late. Very sad that she can't get ready ahead of time and force herself to face her fears.
D Cathy - I am so glad you had a very good time. Also wow look at your house - nice and spiffy.
