A week ago was the RSVP date for our NYE party. I didn't even ask people to reply two weeks in advance, and I sent out the invitations in the middle of November.

Yesterday, two other people told me they had other plans. Today four people (FOUR!) two of whom had kids, said they can't come. You don't even want to know how many people I haven't heard from yet. I'm not planning a sit down dinner or anything, but we are making really, really good appetizers (crostini with home roasted tomatoes, mushroom/blue cheese-stuffed mushrooms, a Spanish-inspired cheese platter with figs and vidalia onions, homemade marinated antipasto, and the usual veggie plates, sandwich trays, etc.) not to mention we don't need half the champagne we have now.

Dangit.

We may never throw a &^%@(! party again, the same thing happened at Halloween- the day before, when I'm already cooking the food I planned for everyone, people called and said they were too busy, or whatever.

At this rate, I may be sweeping a few 'friends' out with the ashes in the New Year.
Shay, I do understand the er...crap that goes on when one plans a nice party.

Well, we would be there if we'd had some notice

Best of luck to you and we're going to be here just with ourselves and watching movies.
