Why No One in Seattle Ever Actually Gets Together

Text from Sarah to Jenny:

HI Jenny! What fun to run into you at Whole Foods!  We should get together.

Text from Jenny to Sarah

Hi Sarah!  Yes, so great to see you.  I’d love to get together. I miss you!

Text from Sarah to Jenny:

I miss you too.  It’s been way too long.  How about  Saturday, June 24^th?  Come over for dinner?

Text from Jenny to Sarah

Thanks for the invite!  Cannot do Saturday, June 24^th, we have tickets to a show that night.  Maybe sometime in July?

Text from Sarah to Jenny:          

Ok- July, it is.  When is good for you?  Wednesday the 13^th or 20^th are wide open for us.

Text from Jenny to Sarah

Wednesdays are Lizzie’s volleyball nites.  Are there any Sundays or Tuesdays that work for you?

Text from Sarah to Jenny:

Sure!  Sunday the 17^th is a good night for me.

Text from Jenny to Sarah

Sorry, I meant Sunday Brunch.

Text from Sarah to Jenny:

Ok, Sunday Brunch on the 17^th should work.

Text from Jenny to Sarah

I just remembered, we are out of town that wknd. 

Text from Sarah to Jenny:

OK, how about Sunday the 24^th instead?

Text from Jenny to Sarah

Actually can we do Saturday?

Text from Sarah to Jenny:

Saturday, I’m on call at work.  Is there a Sunday that might work better?  Maybe the 31^st?

Text from Jenny to Sarah

The 31^st.  Hmmmm….I just hate to plan that far out. I guess the 24^th is ok.  I was just hoping to clean out the basement that day.  It’s such a mess and I can never seem to find the time to get to it.  But I REALLY want to see you, so let’s try to make it work.

Text from Sarah to Jenny:

Maybe I can try to switch my on call shift with a co-worker so we could do Saturday the 23^rd.  How about 11am?

Text from Jenny to Sarah

I have yoga until 11:30am

Text from Sarah to Jenny:

12pm?

Text from Jenny to Sarah

Perfect!  See you then!

Two Weeks Later

Text from Sarah to Jenny:

Just confirming our brunch at 12pm tomorrow.

Text from Jenny to Sarah

Omigosh!  I totally spaced writing that down.  I’m so sorry. Turns out, Alex is doing a half marathon I forgot about.   Can we reschedule? I’m dying to see you!
