Oh the suspense is killing me! (self-pity whine)

My friend called me today on the phone to invite MH and I to dinner at their house because they "have a big announcement to share." She won't give me the slightest hint about what it might be-- and of course I'm thinking the worst but hoping for something more like they're pregnant (but it's almost 100% impossible for them to be pregnant-- her youngest is 9 months old and my friend just spent the past 3 weeks in the hospital on heavy painkillers, having surgery, etc.).

This is like when my dad would say at breakfast, "are you going to be around after dinner? We need to sit down and have a talk."  Then I'd spend the entire day until after dinner freaking out and trying to remember if I had done something bad that he might have figured out...

*sigh* This is going to be killing me for the next 48 hours, now... Thank god I have a good day planned for tomorrow-- maybe I'll only obsess about it for 30 of those 48 hours this way...

  • I'd be just like you. I hate when people "have something I need to tell you". I get that whole heart racing, anxiety thing going on and always think the worst. Then I start calling other people who know this person to see if they have an idea of what it might be. It is usually no where near as big of news as I had predicted.

    I hope that whatever she has to tell you, it is good news!

  • Oh I hate when people do that! If you tell me you need to talk about something, I will tell you that you need to tell me NOW because to make me wait is just mean and I'll probably spend the time until you tell me, freaking out.
  • Oh, I can't imagine they'd invite you to dinner days away only to tell you someone has cancer or they've lost their job or something! That sounds to impossibly evil to be true!  I bet someone got a new job somewhere far away or they are adopting or they've got a fabulous timeshare opportunity that you are not going to want to walk away from.

    I'm curious now what it is.  If you can share, you're going to have to tell us!

  • I hate waiting and I hate surprises.  I'd call them up and say I'm free to discuss over dessert tonight.  It would drive me insane waiting too.

    Well, I'm trying to be a good friend and let her tell me what she needs to tell me on her own terms. It's not really about me, after all! LOL

    I have a hard time remembering what I bolded above.  You mean the world doesn't revolve around me???

    This. And who knows, maybe even after app of that they did do the hibity dibity and she's pregnant :P
  • Oh man, this kind of suspense kills me too. Good luck not obsessing ... can't wait to hear what your friend's news is! I'm guessing they wouldn't invite you to dinner to tell BAD news, it must be something new and exciting.
