I now know where I stand

Know that New Year’s Eve party that I have planned? Well, looks like it isn’t going to be quite the party that I had thought. A couple of my other friends planned a competing party, and some of the people that I thought were coming here are now going to go to that one. Great, isn’t it? The best part is that none of those people have bothered to tell me that they aren’t coming to mine—I had to find out from someone else today. This all hit me like a brick wall! Here I was planning this big party! I have already bought a bunch of food for it, so it looks like I will be eating hor’douvres for the next couple of weeks. Thankfully I haven't bought the champagne yet--it would kind of suck to toast just myself.

Thanks guys, I really appreciate it.
