20 years...

So...this is the big weekend...20th high school reunion...I don't think I feel much differently than most people. Nervous, nauseous, intrigued. Excited to see a couple of people. It's at AT&T Park. Maybe we'll have a pick-up game? I was talking to a friend about it and was telling her that I went to school with some of the smartest people I've ever met...to this day. They are physicists, medical doctors, lawyers, professors...they totally did what they were setting out to do when they graduated. Others, I'm sure, didn't stay quite as on track.


Since I've spent the better part of a year grappling in a mid-life crisis, that I would like to think I'm coming out of, I'm not going to let this pull me back down. So...I'm not a Grammy or Tony winning singer. So...I'm not a size 4 (actually never was...even in high school). I am saved. I am loved. I am successful. I have a hot husband :-) and beautiful kids. Heck...I am alive!! Nothing that happens in the next three days does anything but enhance ALL of our many, many blessings. So there :-p

It's funny, because I'm the smartest person that you know but I didn't go to school with you. Weird. :)

1987? I was 16. Played in a rock band. Wasn't very good. Started driving. A lime green Pinto. When that one was wrecked it was replaced with a baby blue Pinto.

Wow, I was pimp.

1987...Mark and I had just gotten married...I was starting my 3rd year of college...AFTER already completing my time in the Army! I guess I was old compared to y'all. Of course, Mark already told you that! :)
