Excuses are like....well ya know

I think everyone is guilty of making an excuse at one time or another, sometimes out-right lies and others not exactly a lie but not the whole truth. I am a forgive and forget person, I believe what goes around comes around. There have been times in the past when an excuse was made to me and I knew it was crap, but if it wasn't malicious then I tucked it away in the back of my mind and went on with my day. I try to think about how everyone has issues and give them the benefit of the doubt. Maybe she made an excuse for blowing off my baby shower because she didn't want to tell me that she got into a fight with her boyfriend. People have reasons for doing what they do whether its good or bad. Eventually, if it continues and gets worse, I will just drop the person (i am no longer friends with the girl who blew off my shower). If we can work it out and improve our relationship then great, but you can't expect people to deal with your crap forever.
