Everyone who knows me, knows I'm forgetful and have post-it notes all over and reminders in my phone. That said, I really need to rant about the elderly ladies at my church who are even more forgetful that I am and DON'T use any reminders.
At the end of last year I began planning a baby shower for a couple at our church. I spoke with two of the ladies who are in the group that do social functions and we agreed on a date and that we would keep it simple and just serve cake. Last week, a different lady emailed me saying that the ladies were stunned that I had the secretary post a date in the bulletin. They thought I just willy nilly chose a date! I pointed them to the email that NONE of them replied to and the email addresses are the same one I've been writing back and forth with for the past 10 years.
It was aggravating that they were upset with me for choosing a date and saying we'd have cake as if I did this all on my own. Now I feel it's on my own since they can't remember anything.
