Not So Fast

So my good friend K, just called, she was one of my old roommates that was supposed to be going to the wedding tomorrow. I blogged about how the four of us college roommates were finally going to be together again, and I spoke too soon. She cancelled and is not going because her daughter is sick. She's not so sick that they couldn't attend, but a little too sick to take along to the hotel and leave with her mom. I'm so disappointed, why can't anything ever work out? So I have no idea if the four of us will ever be in the same place at the same time ever again. My other friend D, is getting married in August, but K already said that they aren't going because the wedding is in Maryland and her and her husband don't want to travel that far with or without the baby (though she'll be one by then). I really hate getting so excited for something and then getting let down. I should know better than to get excited for anything because it's so much worse when things don't go as planned. I am usually the type that expects the worst so I can be excited when things do work out or things do go well. In addition, R and I got a hotel room only because K and her husband got one too, so now we have this room that we don't really need now because they aren't even going to be there now. I thought it would be fun to get one only if we knew someone else who was staying there because we could ride together and hang out before and afterward. I am looking forward to having a night away with my hubby but now it just doesn't seem as warranted because we really could have driven to and from, it's not that far. Also, I'm spending the $100 I got for my birthday on this room. There is so much more that I would rather buy but I thought it would be worth it when it was going to be another couple. Does that make sense or is that just weird? Oh well, I'm sure we will still have fun.
