Thank you ladies, I feel better about that party now. I just needed to vent. Thanks for hearing me!

I'm making a fresh tomato sauce now. I haven't made a sauce from scratch for a long time. It's bubbling on the stove and I hope it tastes good. I'm going to make garlic bread, spaghetti, and a salad for dinner.

Remember my long lost best friend? I'll call her L. We haven't talked since July. Well I broke down and sent her an email. I didn't know what to say so I just wrote, "I miss you". She wrote back- "I miss you too". Now what? Somehow I was hoping for a longer reply, LOL.

Also, this weekend I'm going to a bridal shower. I'm really nervous because I have social anxiety and I won't know anyone there except the bride to be. (She's my coworker). Also, it's an hour drive and I'm afraid to drive too... and the directions are pretty sketchy. I have to drive myself because it's women only. So, I'm really nervous.

I'm also hoping my gift is good enough. We're on a budget, but on the other hand I don't want to be rude. Is it Ok that my gift only cost $20? It was something that she was registered for. It's a huge cooking pot, and it looks pretty wrapped up. Is my gift good enough? I didn't have a bridal shower, so I don't know. She's a nice woman so I want her to like my gift!

The spaghetti dinner came out great! I love to cook, especially for DH. He loves my cooking, and it's the only thing I'm really good at.

About L, I'm not going to do anything for now. I showed her that I care enough to swallow my pride and reach out. And I need her to make an effort too. I do feel a lot better, maybe only for now, that I did reach out to her though. Now it's her turn.

Your gift sounds find to me. I dont' like being places that i don't know anyone either so i'll try to find another loan and sit next to that person and end up talking to them.

Good luck you'll do ok.

Thanks Robin. I am worried about it. I could have just said no to the invitation but I think she deserves a nice shower, and I should be there for her.
