I hosted a playdate today. Using Facebook I invited a bunch of people that I thought might want to come hang out with me. Ha! What does it say that only one showed up? I am trying not to take it personally.
The girl who came was super nice and I had a fun time hanging out with someone my own age with similar interests while her son (who is Cate’s age) had fun playing with my girls. It was all very pleasant and relaxing.
Now I am tired and need to put Cate down for a nap. I had planned on going to the gym today around 4 pm or so but at the moment I am feeling less than inspired.
Bonus of having a playdate even with one person: my house looks clean at the moment. I dusted and watered all my neglected plants. The dishes are put away and the counters are relatively clutter free. I just feel drained.
I am hosting an open house for my For Your Pleasure business later this month and have gotten a lot of maybes and very few definites. That is not a good sign, is it? I want to just give up on it if it doesn’t go well. I haven’t done a party since last July and that one was crap. If this doesn’t go well I may just quit. We are paying a fee every month and I’m not making anything off of it. Seems a bit stupid, doesn’t it? I guess I kept thinking I’d start it back up.
How freakin’ weird is this? A girl I knew a long time ago just called me and wants to do a party!!!! I will update and let you know if and when it really happens. We just talked for the longest time. Ha!
It is amazing to me how many people I have caught up with on Facebook. BTW, thanks for the Dora the Explorer comment…made me laugh.
I am glad you had fun…and your house looks clean, I wish I could say the same.~C
Maybe it’s a good sign that the random chick called. Maybe business will pick back up in the coming months.
Why not put the link to the site on here, FB, and anywhere else you go online? That way the people that may be too embarassed to come to the house or maybe just aren’t close enough (ME!) can order from you.
Most of my “friends” swear that they’re there for me and want to visit and “hang out” but if I outright ask them – they’re always too busy and how about some other time? OK don’t call me, I’ll call you… so I don’t count on them now at all. In fact – they were the people I culled from MY facebook because what good are fair weather friends anyhow? But sure, they call me down to the absolute lowest if I can’t make any of their functions, its just too stressful to even bother…
My experience is that maybe ALWAYS means no – it’s just an easy way out for the passive aggressive folks!
