reunion from...


Kelle, Me, Cecilia and Rachel at our 10-year High School Reunion


I feel I have complained and complained and comPLAINED about my 10-year reunion sooo much...

although I wanted to go into all the ridiculous details, when I received this picture in my inbox today, a huge smile spread across my face, and I realized that all the money, all the worrying, all the stupidness was truly, truly worth it--just because I got to see these three old friends.

This might be the shortest post ever, but that's all I have to say about this. :)

quick

so i have about a gazillion things that i want to write about, but i've actually been pretty busy at work. (heaven forbid that i actually WORK while at work!!) i've also just started a (second) new job, as some of you know, which has cut down from any night-writing. (not to be confused with Knight Rider, though i wish.)

ideas for further posts include:
  • a long, overdue follow-up to the master cleanser
  • thoughts on some friends moving and wondering why things happen a certain way
  • the blasted, ridiculous excuse for a 10 yr reunion
  • the tag i got from rachel a while ago (i love it, and i truly plan to do it)
  • my new job

good grief, i'm already tired from writing.

ten short years

so my ten year reunion is only ten days from today. i’m pretty nervous. pretty excited, but pretty nervous. i know most people fret away about their outward appearances for things like reunions, and i am definitely no exception. if my looks were perfect, though, would i still be giving myself stomach ulcers? probably so? (to my knowledge, i don’t really have stomach ulcers.) also, does anyone else’s reunion charge SIXTY FIVE bones per ticket?! absurd. for SIMPLY an “hors d’oeuvres buffet.” oh, oh—excuse me—that price also includes:

• facility rental
• decorations
• entertainment
• alumni directory
• photo nametag
• guest nametag (yep, better slap on another $10 for that one)
• mailings
• postage (OH MY GOSHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH)
• national alumni search
• reunion staff
• reunion manager
• and administrative staff

ARE THEY JOKING. biggest rip off i’ve ever seen?!?! does anyone else see that the ones who come are penalized by having to pay for the postage/mailings to classmates that don’t come?!?!

not that i’m an alchy or anything, but GIVE ME A BREAK—“cash bar available?!?!” ridiculous. and if you want a picture, you have to pay EXTRA.
ugh. enough of this moaning and groaning.
