As I may have mentioned before, my high school reunion is coming up. "Up" as in, this weekend.
And I can tell you exactly what I've done to prepare myself to see these people I haven't seen since we were all MUCH younger.
Not. A. Thing.
That's right. Oh, I had plans, let me tell you. I was gonna drop a few pounds, get myself into kick-boxer shape, and get some Botox. Remember?
Instead, I got myself some germs. Germs that have pretty much incapacitated me for the last 10 days.
After 2 trips to the doctor, 2 flu tests, 1 strep test, one peak flow meter breathing test, one respiratory infection test that I SWEAR PULLED OUT BRAIN MATTER, 2 finger pricks, and 1 chest X-ray....
I have some kind of infection. Medical marvels.
I also have an antibiotic, some steroids for the whole breathing issue, and some mighty fine cough medicine. Translation... narcotics=sleep.
So I dragged my feeling better self out today to find the outfit. You know, the one that will make everyone say,
"Wow! You look great!"
"You haven't changed a bit since graduation!"
"You could pass for 21!"
Let me just pop your Class of '89 balloon right now and tell you... that outfit does not exist.
I may just settle for a new top or a pedicure.
And a puff of my inhaler to get me through the night.
My cousin, who also graduated the same year (and will be at the reunion), posted a great Facebook comment recently. He said we may need a doctor on hand Saturday night in case someone falls and breaks a hip. Oh my. Now that's funny.
But don't make me laugh too hard, 'cause I'll start coughing and then probably tinkle a little bit in my cute jeans.

So glad that you are going. I regret not going to my 20 year reunion. Have a blast and please, please, do not laugh to hard...by the way age doesn't matter with the tinkle thing. Just this week it happened to one of my kinders. She came over to me and whispered quite loudly "Mrs. Salter don't make me laugh so much cause you know it makes me dribble in my panties!"
OK - it is official - you need a CRAZY check!! That has to be the funniest thing I've heard all day. And you know Eli and Dan are gonna make major fun of you for that whole tinkle in my pants bit! Love you all bunches!
Lisa, Drew, and Jon Daniel
Aw, your going to have a blast and I am willing to bet you look Better than you did when you were 18!! Here's to hoping that you can breath through the night!!
Nobocy will even notice what you're wearing because they'll be too concerned about what they are wearing! But get a pedicure anyways, they always make me feel better!
