slipping back into the social side of things

was very busy this last weekend....now that i am working on saturdays, friday nights' out have become a fleeting memory. while this in itself isn't a bad thing, it does make social obligations a little more tricky to handle. this saturday, i was invited to a bbq, engagement party and a pool party. i thought i might have been able to do at least two of these events, but i was tired and could only make it to one. i decided to go to the engagement party and had a lot of fun, but also likely pissed off at least two other party organizers. so, sorry guys if you read this, but i felt like i needed to celebrate with two people who are starting their lives together.

i hope that this isn't going to become a trend. i hate disappointing people...especially when they give you an invitation to something they are putting on. i know how it feels to organize something, expecting certain people to be there and they can't make it. while i feel that my reasons are legitimate, i still can't shake the feeling of guilt about not attending.

have you ever been in this situation? it's not like i'm so popular, but what is the right thing to do? i went with the first invite that came my way and commited...was that wrong? i can't see any other way to do something....

guess i'll have to try and make it up to those people...hope other plans don't get in the way!
