The time has come for me to reminisce. To look back on days gone by. To savor my youth. I will be attending my high school reunion on Friday. At $64 a head, they had better have some decent stuff. And that is only for 3 hours on Friday. Saturday’s 5-hour event is like $80+. Of course you get a discount for attending both days, but we aren’t. It’s just too expensive and my husband doesn’t want to dress up, haha! Saturday includes a dinner and dance at a nice hotel (Wyndham). Friday night’s festivities will take place at XS, which is supposed to be some happening place for dining and entertainment, so I guess we’ll get dinner there. I’ve never been there so I have no idea. This is all happening in Orlando, FL so now you know why it’s slightly pricey. I just hope the music is reminiscent of our high school days.

It will be interesting to see what has become of my old classmates, even though I probably won’t remember a majority of them. There were 719 in my graduating class so I only got to know a handful of them. I hope I get to see old friends and it isn’t just a bunch of strangers. I’ve lost touch with my best friend from high school and last I heard, the reunion committee couldn’t get in touch with her either, so I may not get to see her. I’m crossing my fingers that another good friend of mine shows up. I lost touch with him a few years after we graduated. Found him again several years later, then lost touch again. His name wasn’t on the list of unlocated classmates, so maybe I’ll be lucky and run into him again. He was like a brother to me in high school. And Jennifer, if you are reading this…you better be there too!

You guessed it. It’s been 10 years since I graduated high school…gosh how time has flown. So many things have happened in those 10 years…some horrible, some wonderful. Fortunately the wonderful stand out over the bad.

You know…it’s too bad we can’t combine reunions for several different years. Then I could see my old friends who graduated the year before me and have ‘N Sync perform. (Joey Fatone graduated 2 years after me) I think that is the biggest sadness of all this. Several of my close friends from HS graduated the year before me. It would be great to see them again.

I’ll let you know how it went sometime next week.
