Dropped like a sack of hot potatoes
Ok...I'm a little upset. I may be a little oversensative, but let me just explain what happened.
My church has an annual "Ladies Retreat" every year. I've always roomed with my best friend Julie, and whoever else wanted to room with us. If you have 4 in your room, then the cost is a little less. Well, this year, on New Years Eve, another friend asked if we could room together. I said that sounds like a lot of fun, assumung Julie would room with us as well. As it turned out, Julie ended up rooming with 2 other ladies, one that works with her (who also comes to our church)and another which is completely fine. We don't really spend a lot of time in the room anyway...so it doesn't really matter. We always planned on hanging out together, no matter who we roomed with.
But I digress.
My problem is this...a couple of days ago my New Years Eve friend called me up and said that she felt really bad, but her sister in law just got saved, and she wanted to come to the retreat...but she only felt comfortable rooming with people she already knew and would it be ok if I roomed with Ju after all. I said no problem...honestly feeling that I would rather this SIL get some fellowship with the awesome ladies in our church, than to let her feel uncomfortable. My friend then said that she talked to Ju and she still had room for one more, which at the time, she thought she did. I thought ok...no problem. Well, after talking to Julie today...I come to find out that one of her other roomies had already invited someone else, leaving no extra room for me. I know this sounds like a bit of bad timing...but let me get to my point...the reason my New Years Eve friend didn't tell me sooner was this:
SHE FORGOT ABOUT ME.
And it was HER idea in the first place that we room together. If she had told me this sooner, I could have had plenty of time to find someone else to room with. But it totally makes me feel like her plans with me didn't merit remembering.
Do I sound like a big crybaby? I kind of feel like one...only because my self esteem is a little lacking with that particular person in the first place.
I'm lame...I know.

awww...that sucks! I hope you can find another roomie!
Honey you're not lame for feeling left out.
You had your hopes up and someone else was a little busy, I'm sure it was an honest mistake.
If at all possible I would have buddied with ya!
