This is the day where you say, "You can't possibly be old enough for a 30 year High School Reunion!"
And this is the part where I would have to admit otherwise. It seemed like a good idea when I signed up, not so much at the moment.
It's time to go back and see those folks I haven't seen in at least 10 years (except for a small handful of them that I keep in contact with), stand around and make small talk while they show you pictures of their kids and now---gah---*GRANDKIDS*
My feeling is---when did *they* get so old :)))
Needless to say, I'm a little weirded out at the prospect. 10 was sort of fun, 20 wasn't bad, but for some reason 30 really has me on the edge (I felt this way when I turned 30--maybe it's just the number *g*)
Should I be? There is really nothing bad happening in my life, I have a wonderful hubby, a half restored mid-Victorian monstrosity of a house that I love, and a job that I enjoy going to most days.
The thing is...I'm having a really hard time even remembering high school. Like most people it wasn't the high point of my life. I moved away from the area and went off to school--and never moved back-- while a lot of the others stayed in the Dallas area for at least the first few years--so they still hung out together and kept the memories alive and made even more.
I'm just hoping that enough of the others can say, "Remember when such and such happened?" with enough description that a lightning bolt will flash and the memory will swoop down from the heavens into my fevered brain.
We leave tomorrow. The first event is a meet and greet in the evening....
Has anyone gone through this before? I could use some pearls of wisdom!
With my shield or on it,
Sarita
P.S. I'll let you know how it goes :)
