Oh, yeah...

You know those people who were going to be staying with us...well...now they are not. One of them had a friend in town who apparently was upset that they weren't staying with her and so they decided to stay with the friend. I am going to choose to believe this reason for not staying with us is true since she did unload some of her bags into our guestroom and then had to reload them, she said her friend was crying about not being asked, and I also choose to believe it to protect my slightly fragile ego (which is made more fragile by a slight sleep deprivation) rather then thinking that it was anything about our house or furnishings that turned her off. I did actually meet the friend so I know that there really is a friend and not a hotel.
