Friends?!

Ms. Feisty has been feeling a bit deflated lately. My best friend who I've known since I was nine visited yesterday to bring me some stuff that I asked her to get for me when she was in New York. So far , so good. She then tells me that she can't accompany me and one other friend on my birthday theatre trip next weekend. This, despite having accepted the tickets ages ago when we booked. Her boyfriend has asked her to go with him to his best friend's wedding and his twin sisters' birthday party, all on the same day as mine. This with just under a week to go. I am very unimpressed since we have spent my birthday together since we were both 16. Grrr. Becky
