As I was walking down the sidewalk, my neighbor Phyllis passed in her car and we waved and I thought, aw, I\u2019m going to miss her, sure wish she could be here. I got to Sadie\u2019s door, rang the door bell and I stood there for what seemed like an eternity. Then I rang the bell one more time. No answer.<o:p><\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p style=\"MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt\"><span style=\"FONT-FAMILY: 'Comic Sans MS'\">I walked back home thinking I got the time wrong and convinced myself that she was at the store.

However, I got the same response. No Answer. My heart dropped and I felt so sad. How could I get this wrong? I got home and called Mary Beth, one of my other neighbors and asked her what was going on when she said, \u201cOh Yes, I\u2019m going to the brunch tomorrow at 9:30!&#8221; Tomorrow??? 9:30??? I thought, I\u2019m not even going to be here, we\u2019re flying to NY tomorrow! And then I had to explain to Mary Beth how I goofed it all up. She was so sweet and let me know she understood as we have a lot on our plates right now. I feel so terrible, everyone has planned to come to the little coffee\/brunch and I won\u2019t be there.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>That\u2019s it, I\u2019ve officially LOST IT!!!
