In a couple of weeks a milestone event will occur. My 10-year High School reunion. I have such mixed emotions about this event. I really haven’t stayed friends with most of my high school friends, so I wonder if this is going to present a certain amount of awkwardness. It’s not that we had a falling out and no longer speak, it’s just that over time we have lost touch. Which makes me wonder, am I crappy friend? I could blame this on Facebook by saying they make it too easy to know what is happening in someone else’s life without even talking to them, but I know that is not the real problem. I feel like so many people have that close group of high school friends that they plan to will be friends with forever. Whereas with me, I make a close friend and then me or the other person moves to another state and we grow apart over time then I make new friends and the cycle starts all over. Plus, the location of the event was recently revealed and I have to say it was a bit of a let down. Shame on me for basing my expectations on what I've seen in movies, but a "cafe" is not what I was expecting for our reunion. Despite this, I am looking forward to going. You get to see what people have made of themselves over the past ten years. Did the popular kids peak in high school? Are the jocks now fat and bald? Are the nerds now rich and married to models? Luckily for me, I am actually proud of what I have done over the past ten years. I am definitely more motivated, more confident, and more successful. Perhaps if I wasn’t then I wouldn’t be going to the reunion.
In preparation of the big event, Princess Tartini and I are going shopping for the perfect outfit. We have dubbed this event “Tartini Saturday” as we will partake in a tasty Tartini (or two) prior to shopping. We also hope to take some pictures, so we can spice up our blog page!
