It’s important for you to keep up with your friends love situations so you don’t have to put your foot in the mouth.
While trying to plan a weekend trip to DC for Subject 1’s bday, a summer beach trip came up for discussion. Subject 1 asked whether this would be a ‘couples-type’ of weekend (she believes she’s the last single girl left on the face of the planet and no one else has ever been single before). I inquired about her most recent suitor…doh.

Insert foot in mouth. Luckily my bestie (Brenna) was there to warn me immediately not to go any deeper and armed me with rapid forwards of past emails to our whole listserv (that I didn’t read throughly) concerning the break up.
Bless her, shame on me.
Signed,
Waiting on the explanatory email and phone call to follow from Subject 1.
