Oh Anna.

I've been unbelievably busy this week. Busier than ever, ever before. With a launch of a new website and as the producer for one of our new blogs, I can barely take a bathroom break much less a quick phone call.

Early in the evening yesterday my phone rang. It was my friend from work, who was also my college roommate. Let's call him Nate. I pick up the phone.

Me: WHAT.

Nate: Hey Anna. What's up?

Me: Nothing how are you.

Nate: Pretty good. Headed up north.

Me: Cool. What's up? I'm really busy at work.

Nate: Oh, yeah?

Me: Yeah. So what do you want?
I've got like a million things due in the next five minutes.

Nate: Oh, nothing. It's not a big deal.

Me: Ok cool, talk to you later.

Nate: Yeah, just give me a call when you leave work.

Me: Wait. Why?

Nate: Nothing, it's not a big deal.

Me: No, what?

Nate: Well I don't want to add anything to your list of things to do.

Me: No it's ok, what do you need?

Nate: No seriously, just call me later, it's ok.

Me: No, just tell me. Is it about work? What's up?

Nate: No really it's ok just call me after work.

Me: No, what?

Nate: No it's ok call me later.

Me: Ok now you're freaking me out. What is it?

Nate: I was just wondering if you would do a reading at my wedding.

*silence

*Anna makes squeaky noises

Me (three octaves higher): Oh! Oh! Of...course! Of course I will!

*silence

Nate: Cool.

Me: Can I...mime it?

Nate: There are unlimited production opportunities available to you.

Me: Th...thank you!

I am a terrible, awful friend! I am sorry "Nate". I can't wait to read at your wedding on a golden elephant wearing a dinosaur outfit and waving a flag of you and your new wife's faces. Love youuuuu!
