A Night to...Anticipate

Well, my high school reunion is coming up.  Twenty years that would be.  Wow, I still can't believe that I have been out of HS for 20 years.  Am I seriously that old?

Well, here's the thing.  I hated HS.  I was really not a big fan of the people I went to HS with.  Other than a few exceptions, of course.  A lot of the not liking HS was due to the fact that I was dating this moron.  And yes, he really was a moron.  Reality, I was the bigger moron because I dated him for so long.  I look back as adult and I realize how unbelievably stupid I was for staying with him.  That is a totally different post though.

Onto the reunion...

At first thought, it is going to be the same people who I really didn't like all that much.  Ya know, that "popular" group.  Do I really want to spend a night with all of them reminiscing about how wonderful high school was?  Ugh!  God no!  But, I thought more about it and I figured that it has been 20 years.  We aren't the same people we were in HS.  I know I am not anywhere close to being the same person.  I thought maybe it would be nice to see some of these people.  What is weird, I never run into any of them.  Ever.  Where have they all been hiding?  Where have I been hiding?  Or maybe I have run into them and I just don't recognize them.  That truly is a possibility.

So, I inboxed a friend of mine and asked her if she was going.  Her response, "Nah."  That was it.  I was not going.  If she isn't, I am not.  I am not going to be alone amongst that formerly "popular" group.  Even though 20 years have passed and I am sure they have all matured.

Last night, she inboxes me and says that she might want to go now.  Hmmm, so now what?  I know the hubs will watch the kiddies.  It would be nice to have a night out with "friends" from high school.  Presuming again, that they have all changed the way that I have.

Thinking about it now.  I am actually getting a little nervous.  I am waiting for my friend to get back to me.  I told her that if she is in I am in.  Thankfully, I have a dress I can wear and I have shoes, I think.  Somewhere.  I just have run out and get a pedicure and I should be good to go.  Now, I wait for her response.  What is it going to be?

Stay tuned.  Same bat time.  Same bat station.  Not really.  Don't sit by the computer.  I don't know when I will be able to blog again.  I will let you know how my night turns out though.

PS--I didn't go.  Long story.  But, things just didn't work out.  I guess you could say it was old school HS drama that caused me not to go.  C'est la vie.  I guess some people just haven't grown up the way I  anticipated.
