Before you read any further, this post is NBR (not baby related)...sorry!
Apparently 10-year reunions are a thing of the past...who knew??? Wally was the unfortunate winner of his senior class president election. Do you know what that means...he is "in charge" of the reunions! This might be a good thing for the high school to really REALLY emphasize prior to this election. The reunion process has been horrendous! It wouldn't have been so bad, per se, if people wanted to come. With the HUGE help of our dear friend Julie things were set to go and invitations were sent out; however, very few of those invitations came back and those that did were mostly "no's" or only coming on Friday night (the free night!). That is all fine and dandy if we didn't have to pay a deposit for Saturday night and be responsible for eating the remaining costs if enough funds aren't available....what a crappy job being class president is! Who knew people didn't want to come to their 10-year reunion anymore?!?! Does Romy and Michele's High School Reunion no longer exist in real life????
Michele: Remember the prom? You got so thin by then.
Romy: Oh, I know. I was so lucky getting mono. That was like the best diet ever.
So sadly, as vice-president of my high school class, I am going to do all that I can to avoid this reunion process. I do not want to get sucked in to the planning and stress only to be completely let down by the lack of numbers and most of all screwed out of our own money!
Note to Lucas: My dear boy, if you decide that you want to run for class president, please PLEASE do the research and find out what that exactly entails not only for your senior year, but for the future. It really isn't worth it to be "popular" or "cool" or whatever you think it is at the time to be class president when you end up being responsible for things in the future and your future wife (that is if I allow you to marry) will not appreciate the added stress either. And you're welcome for this very important piece of advice from your mother :)
VENT OVER!!
Ok - All I can say is 'no comment' - this process has been beyond frustrating. Lucas - your mom is right but sure you read the 'fine print' and Aim - stay as far away from reunion planning for next year as possible. Ugh! What an awful experience this has been.....
