Well, that backfired.

I called my friend and told her that we couldn't go to her party tonight b/c we couldn't afford the extra $40 right after Christmas, which is true.

She just called back and said, forget the money, come anyways b/c we really want you guys to be there!

Were you trying to get out of going?

Did you actually talk to her or was it just a voicemail?? If it was a voicemail, you could um, "pretend" you saw it too late..

That's what happens when you try to be upfront and honest.

Should have gone with food poisoning. Or diarrhea.

Sorry!

Sigh.

Go for an hour or so and then remember that, oh no you left the oven/curling iron/whatever on and have to go home asap.  Or say you're not feeling well and you're going to go home and rest.

I was considering this scenario when responding to your first post.
