Reunion dot not

Right now, if I were willing to shell out the 93 bux and show up with a chin covered in huge and gory zits, I could be at my 20th high school reunion.  Instead I am sitting in bed in my PJs with an adult beverage and my hair in pigtails.  Kinda like high school, actually.  Except I think I was afraid of the pigtails back then.  Actually, looking at my tank top, I realize that I was in high school when I bought it at the army surplus store in something like 1987. 

Um.  Maybe if my tank top is old enough to legally drink I need to shop for clothes more often? 

And, maybe I skipped out on this reunion (that I totally thought I’d go to) because I just don’t want to accept that it’s been twenty years since I was in high school.  It scares me that the next twenty years will slip by even faster.  Then, another twenty and I’m just about done.  If I’m even that lucky.

We spent the day with one of my all-time most favorite families.   The kids got so tired that they were mostly asleep by the time we pulled into the driveway.  I’m that tired, too, but I needed some kid-free time and so here I am, staying up too late.
