As far as the info about the playdate, I would just let that go to the recycle bin and forget about it. You have proven over and over that you are above that w/ her. Don't give her the satisfaction that you've thought about it for that long, even if you haven't. Does that make any sense, 'cause it doesn't to me.
Anyway, just keep detaching and focusing on you. Live YOUR life. Laugh often. Smile inside and out. Enjoy yourself!!! HAve a fabulous time at the bday party!!!
