25 years

Last weekend was my 25th class reunion. It was funny to me that people either changed so much that I would not have been able to pick them out of a lineup or they were almost exactly the same as they looked in high school.

Since graduation there have been marriages, babies, divorces, boob jobs, affairs, cancer, moves, new careers,bankruptcies,foreclosures,new homes, life changes....yet thru it all we remain the same tight knit group that hung out back in the 80's! Some may be more medicated now, others less. and some that need to be! 

I found myself on the side lines more now than I used to be. Getting out and dancing, humping, groping could not have felt more uncomfortable to me. I don't know where I lost that carefree girl from the 80's but one thing was for sure..she is gone. OMG does that mean I grew up? Nahhhhhhhhhhh must be something else..lol

Some of the high lights or low lights depending on how you see them:

• Changing clothes in the street
• The limo ride 
• Underwear being put up the school flag pole
• Finding out some classmates "wax" (and not just the girls)
• Explaining lesbian sex to a group of drunk straight girls
• Having your best friend get in trouble for dry humping the bands speakers
• Drinking more beers in one night than I've had in four years combined

25th Class Reunion!

Holy cow!! How can it be that I graduated high school 25 years ago?? I still feel  act 25 on most days! (or younger)

Did you go to your class reunions? Do tell!

Adele - Someone Like You (Live in Her Home)

I like her even more now that I see all the doxies in her video! What an amazing voice, and can't say enough about the lyrics...WOW

The Help (Movie Review)

A while back I was watching Oprah and heard her talking about a book called "The Help". I knew that it was a book I would want to read and a must see movie!

Today , Vic and I looked up the movies that we want to see (The Help, Final Destination 5 and Planet of the Apes) to see which ones would work with our work schedule so we could catch one early enough after work to get home to the fur children at an early hour. The Help was playing at 4pm and that was just about perfect timing for us.  We finished up work and headed over to the mall. We go to a lot of movies but only have been to a few that have been "full", in most cases we are close to the only ones there but today we were surprised when we walked in to a 4pm movie and it was packed!

The movie was wonderful and I highly suggest it to everyone. If we don't remember where we came from we could easily make the same mistakes again. I just can't believe that this story takes place in my lifetime. :(
As the movie ended everyone just stayed in their seats. I dare say that I was NOT the only one sitting there with tears streaming down my cheeks. It was such a beautifully acted movie and I would put bets on many  awards coming to the cast of this movie. I was not all that familiar with Emma Stone before I met her as Skeeter, the main character, but I am an instant fan now.

I am going to go buy the book and the soundtrack this week...it is just that good!

Funny Cat

I just got back from a visit to my dads house. He left me a warning about his cat (T.T.) so I would not leave anything out that could get carried off. When I walked into the guest room I cracked up when I saw T.T. sitting there reading the note!
