Isn't it interesting how you can look so forward to seeing old friends but as the time draws closer, you start to have your doubts. I am being totally honest here, so don't laugh. I am approaching my 20th high school reunion. I have been looking so forward to this event. But as it is now only a couple of weeks away, I am getting cold feet.
I really enjoyed high school. I hung out with a lot of different people and tried to be nice to everyone; therefore, I think that I was liked by most people that knew me. I was not popular by any stretch of the imagination but I think that I managed not to tick too many people off. I have fond memories of high school and those that I spent some time with along the way.
But the thought of meeting those people again, after so long, kind of makes me nervous. Most of the people I knew back than are now working with small families and many still stay in touch with each other. I on the other hand, am a stay at home mom with a very large family and have not have time over the years to do to much at all. Of course I look older and am not exactly the same size either. Don't get me wrong, I am not an "old fatty" but not exactly what I would like. I have those high school fears of walking into the room and no one talking to me. I will be taking my husband with me, so to be honest, I don't want to look lame in front of him either.
I have said that I would go, so I won't back out, but I sure hope this is a positive experience for me and that I might even rekindle some old friendships. I think that I would enjoy some" girl time". Anyway, just my thoughts as I listen to some great "80's" music.
