But that was back in August, and I've been meaning to post this picture for a while now. I'm really good at making excuses as to why I haven't, one of which being that I was trying to find a picture that would be a good representation of me from high school, while not being totally embarrassing. I was unsuccessful so picture this: Kim, 15ibs heavier with slightly chubby cheeks wearing baggy jeans and an oversize flannel shirt, long straight hair and rocking bangs.
I have to say, it was a good day. I had a soccer game in the morning and Chris and I asked our friends Andria and Jon if we could hang with them the rest of the day instead of going home just to meet up with them later since we were planning on carpooling. So Andria and I made hair and nail appointments and spent the day being pampered and getting ready to look fabulous while Chris and Jon spent the afternoon playing video games. The reunion itself was fairly uneventful and with the exception of an awful senior video put together for graduation with everyone looking 10 years younger and dorkier (ok, maybe just me) and it reminded people of who wasn't there. It was nice to see people and learn who was married, had kids, living somewhere else, etc. I'll probably go back in another 10 years too, as long as I have no reason not to.

My 10 year was last month, and although I'd had intentions of going, abandoned them at the last minute to do something else - more mundane, perhaps, but probably more fun. I really didn't have any inclination to hang out at a small-town dive bar and watch people I've seen once in the last ten years (at the 5-year reunion) get hammered. Welcome to small town America. I was afraid I'd regret missing it, but so far I don't - especially after seeing people's pics of the event on Facebook. We'll see what happens for the 15, or 20, or maybe not till 25.
Oh, my goodness!! I didn't go to my 40th year high school reunion last month. I guess I would have gone but my son Jason, Erin and Mitchell were visiting, and my mother wanted to have them over for lunch that day.. and then Mitchell needed a nap.. thank God because honestly: I didn't want to go. And then, when I saw the pictures in facebook: same reaction as Elin above!! I hope and pray that they'll improve for the 45 and 50 .. I may go, if I don't have something else to do.. and all my children and grandchildren are welcome to visit me those days!!
