20th HS Class Reunion

Me, Janet & Robyn during Senior Week May 1988

Me, Robyn & Janet in Las Vegas Sept 2008

Alright so my 20th high school class reunion is right around the corner. I've been helping to plan it for almost a year now. I can't believe I was suckered into doing this! I've never even GONE to any of our previous reunions and I'm f'in in charge of finding these a-holes (lovingly I call them a-holes), the bank accounts, collecting the $$, updating the website, yada, yada, yada! How did this happen? It happened because I haven't worked since 8-29-07 and I had WAY too much time on my hands. I felt guilty not helping out. All I've been doing for the last year is taking care of our Penny, going to yoga, talking to old friends/classmates, working on this reunion, traveling and going to concerts! Actually now that I think about it....it's been a good year....minus OF COURSE losing our beloved and precious Penny on 8-2-08. But otherwise it's been pretty darn awesome not working and I wouldn't trade my time with Penny for anything in the world.

But this laziness is all going to end very soon. Since Penny is gone and I no longer have to care for her - I must go back to work. I have to pay for all our recent trips we took. First we went to LA in June for a week to see Billy Idol on Jimmy Kimmel Live and then travel up the coast. Then we went to South Florida for a week. Now we just got back from Vegas. So the bank account is feeling it..... Thankfully we didn't lose our asses in Vegas and came back ahead by about $30.00, which, in my opinion is great! Anytime you are ahead it's win win.

Ok, so back to the reunion. I can't wait to see everyone and catch up with all my old friends/classmates. It's funny how over time all those insecurities just fade away....at least they did for me. But honestly I think helping out with the reunion and going to all the reunion planning meetings really helped me get over my social anxieties. My husband isn't going to the reunion with me because I just don't think he would have a good time. He would be talking to himself all night! He is usually quiet in social settings anyway, unless he knows the people really well. So it's going to be a girls night with a lot of laughs and reminiscing. Oh and a lot of alcohol! It's funny, there are a ton of people not coming which I guess I understand. I didn't go to any previously but I always said I would go to my 20th. It's hard to believe it is now upon us. How can I be 37???!!
