April Fool's

Well, today was the 1st of April and that means some sort of joke or prank was probably pulled on you, or better yet, you pulled a fast one on a friend or even a loved one... and this is how we say "I love you?"

I had one pulled on me. [I think?] One of my best friends from college called me this afternoon while I was in a meeting. So I called her back to see what was up-- and I hadn't called her back since she called me last week, oops! Anyhow, she says, "well, I was going to tell you I am engaged, but the moment passed when you didn't answer so... our other friend (who shall remain nameless since I don't know who reads this and I don't know that she is telling anyone) is pregnant!" I believed her for a long while. Then it hit me, she said our friend told her last week so she knew about this for a whole week and decided only to tell me about it today! It's April Fool's, she is just pulling my leg. I proceed to ask her over and over again, "are you lying?" To which she kept responding "NO."

We have now talked three times this evening and every time I ask her, "are you telling me the truth?" she responds [adamantly], "YES!" She is calling me first thing tomorrow morning to let me know once and for all if this very exciting news is really news at all.



PS: if you read my status on the facebook today "Melissa Rau is in love... life is good." Thank you to all of you who were so excited for me, but I'm afraid I was pulling a little April Fool's joke on you. I really did feel loved and life is good!
...and hopefully one day I will be able to genuinely say "I'm in love", but not today (or tomorrow)
