This is the big weekend of my 25th high school reunion.
As for my weight loss...it didn't happen. I did, however, gain a few more pounds. Apparently, I think carb-loading is a good way to prepare for an upcoming reunion.
Coincidentally, TMS's reunion is tonight as well. When we realized this, I said "You can decide which one you want to attend. I'm going to the one with no ex-spouse." So tonight I will be attending my own 25th high school reunion. I would be curious to go to the WHS reunion if for no other reason than to check out TMS' ex's FAT ASS!!
The festivities began last night with a pre-reunion party and I had a ball. If this post seems disjointed or just a random stream of conciousness, it is because I am going on 3 hours of sleep. Heck, I'm 43 years old. I need rest and LOTS of it. What do I think I'm still a kid? You bet I do - as do many others who were there.
It's amusing to talk to some of these classmates 25 years later when your defenses are down and you strip away all pretenses. You get a feel for what others saw you as half a lifetime ago. It's a nice ego boost when some of the "popular" guys give you compliments. I suppose I'll never outgrow my need for reassurance. It is very weird how we all had (or still have) the same insecurities when it comes to high school. It is a rough time in most of our lives.
Some of these people traveled across the country to attend their reunion all by themselves. All by themselves?? Yikes. I don't think I'm that gutsy. We had a great class and I keep in touch with many of them on a regular basis. If I didn't, I'd really have abolutely no desire (or the courage) to go back and mingle with strangers after 25 years.
Tonight is the actual reunion. TMS went out this morning and bought a cool new outfit - suede blazer, corduroy pants and new "young guy" shirt. He is stylin' I think I'm going with a turtleneck, skirt, belt and boots...if it's slimming enough.
Perhaps I'll try a corset....
