And they're off!
Spring is in the air so beware, as friend thieve cases are at their height during this season. I have been a perennial victim since approximately 2003. It is making me poor. Whilst there are no measures by which to protect oneself here are some warning signs to look out for.
Your friend is increasingly drawn to this line of fashion:
She spends exorbitant amounts of time with one of these:
One of those (above) gives her one of these:
They start planning one of these:
Well that's about it. You're on your own now. Yes, another partner in crime has ditched you.
No worries though, ease the pain by delighting in these:
Plan a fun, exciting vacation, and for HALF the price they did! Boo-yah.
Start your own protest like the guy here
Read some good books such as Pride & Prejudice and stuff like that.
I recommend this one:
A Single Voice by Kristen M. OaksMawiage. Really, I'm a fan. Not so much a fan that it is a friend thief though. I suppose that is all part of being a grown up. Last week I attended a wedding party. Next week have been invited to 3, and so far ... planning on 4 others this summer. It's ridiculous! Bridal showers...and then all the ones from previous years are having babies which means baby showers....My wallet can't hardly take it with so many gifts.
Surprisingly enough, as many friends as I've had marry, not once have I been a bridesmaid! Can you believe that? At least I don't have to worry about "three times a bridesmaid, never a bride!, heehee.
Ah well, I'm happy for them all and life goes on and it's great. :)

So... I love this blog!! And I love the book by Kristen Oaks. :-) I have it, I've read it, and it's fabulous!!
ReplyDeleteLucky for you that you haven't been a bridesmaid. I have been a bridesmaid at least 6-7 different times. Am I doomed?! Oh - I hope not!!!
LOL! That's awesome! I really get down on the "friend thief" sometimes. Its nice to know I'm understood. :)
ReplyDeleteYou know what I LOVE about this post? It's EXACTLY what I've been thinking for the past few weeks! And it's pretty similar to the last one I just did.
ReplyDeleteAnd don't worry that my dad looks at all the wedding invitations on the fridge and thinks it's funny to call it my "wall of hope". Really, Dad, you can be quiet now.
We keep saying we need to hang out, and we really do... :)
Funny! "That's three times a bridesmaid...not twice,...You're so fortunate the only thing you've ever had to wear twice is a sour expression" Don't quote me on that quote, I'm going by memory here. Guessed it yet?
ReplyDeletePS I fancy the ring that I posted. ;)
