Post-Reunion Thoughts

Well, it wasn't as bad as I thought it could be. First, at 5:35 - Randy got a support call from work. Damn them anyway!! He hadn't showered or shaved or anything. So it was after 8 when we finally got to leave the house!! I was mad.

But at least we didn't miss the class picture.

I was genuinely glad to see some people. Some I made small talk with. A couple got "drive-by" greetings - as in....."Hey, xxx! How are you?" hug......zooom. Some I was really glad they had name tags on.

Crap, I didn't get very many pics! I know Kelly was going around at random taking them. Can't wait to see some of these on FB. Not too many people danced, either. I drug Randy out there to sway for one. Then Kelly & I and maybe 2 or 3 others were out there off & on. That was it!

Me, Justin & Kelly

We stayed a lot longer than we planned. I do believe it was after midnight when we left. So to sum it up....yeah, glad I went.

One thing I am NOT glad about is that ~something~ made me sick. We ate lunch after we picked Angel up from dance at 3:30, so my stomach wasn't too empty when I had 4 or 5 whiskey sours. The only food I ate there was a single slice of cucumber, the cherries out of my drinks and some peanut M&Ms. We talked about stopping at Taco Bell on the way home, but I'm happy we didn't! I woke up around 4:30am and was up about every 20-30 minutes thru 8 am, throwing up. So even now, 8.5 hours later, I'm still slightly queasy and my body feels like I've been run over by a truck. I've eaten a couple slices of toast and a bottle of Coke Zero today. Blargh. Yard work sure is not getting done with me feeling like this!

Oh yeah, when I finally got out of bed today, Dave the class president called & said I'd won a raffle. I knew what it was, because I'd taken all of our tickets & stuffed them in one can for a "Crate of Cookies". I don't know if this is exactly what it looks like, but it's close.
