The Reunion

So Irv and decided not to attend our 40th high school reunion which takes place this weekend. In all honesty, if I am going to spend $200 on anything, it's going to be for paint and some new stuff for my house.

Irv and I had a very small social circle in high school, and I've only kept in touch with a few people over the years...and those people I would really like to see. We knew a lot of people and got along fine with everyone, we just didn't have a lot of really close friends.

I'm just not really not sure how I feel about reunions. I am not that person anymore, and I don't know that I want to share the person I am now with a bunch of people I don't know. Does that make sense? I love who I am and where my life has taken me. I have never been happier...but do those people really care? Probably not. I am just concerned that the whole thing is a lot of fake smiles and hellos and that just isn't me.

Some of the people we went to school with live 5 miles from us. If we all wanted to be friends....wouldn't we be?

I am not trying to be negative, in fact I've never felt so awesome in my life. I'm just trying to be honest. Is it wrong that I don't care about seeing people that I haven't seen in 40 years or people that I went to school with but have no idea who they are? UGH!

There is a get together Friday night at a local restaurant, and I think we are going to go to that so I can see the few girls that I would really like to see. I will let you know how it goes. :)

Have you gone to any of your high school reunions? How was it?
