QT and Mr. I and the 20-Year Reunion

So this past weekend, Mr. Incredible and I attended my 20-year high school reunion. I, of course, was running late and when Mr. I arrived to pick me up, I was running around in jeans and my bra, trying to figure out what to wear. I believe I practically screamed, “JUDGE ME” as I tried on different shirts, jeans and shoes.

Poor Mr. I! I will say he handled it like a truly dear boyfriend, and stared at my ass in different pairs of jeans to see if it looked fat. He was really, sort of a champ about it.

And when we arrived to the reunion, I have to say, I was excited and nervous all at the same time, but we ended up having an extremely GOOD time. Like, together. He was personable to all the ladies he spoke with, he was attentive to me (a.k.a. bought me beer when I was out), he was charming and of course, as handsome as ever.

During dinner, ballots were handed out to the ladies of the class of 1990 so that we could vote on things, what we remembered about others. Class clown, most popular, shyest, smartest … you get the idea. When the names were read aloud of the votes, I’m sure that you can imagine my surprise when my name was read aloud for …

I’m Just Sayin

1) Warm weather has arrived in my little state, and it’s quite a happy thing.  I even got outside and did yard work last weekend.  Something that I almost enjoyed doing.  Notice the almost.

2) I’ve made a new friend in the male variety.  He’s a nice man, and has been helping me with some things I need done around the house.  And the best part is, it’s just a friend thing.  Don’t think he’s going unrewarded however, I’ve been helping out at his place too with things that confuse him – how to have streak free mirror’s, for example.

3) This St. Paddy’s Day, I was standing at the bar in the Irish Pub when I hear a voice behind me, “Hey Blondie, why don’t you and I get outta here and go get ourselves a hotel room?”  I turn around ready to verbally abuse someone when I see a very old, very very dear friend of mine from my high school days.  I immediately threw my arms around him and laughed and hugged him some more.   How fun is it to run into old friends on the best drinking day of the  year?

4) Upon arriving at work today, I walked into my office to see a very short woman wearing what I thought was, a helmet.  Please note she was a bit of a distance from me, and I did not have my corrective lenses in my eyeballs.  I squinted to see this woman more clearly, and by God, I swore she was walking around the office wearing a helmet.  I put my things down and immediately walked down the hallway to see what exactly she has on her head.  I was wrong.  It was not a helmet.  It was gauze, miles and miles of gauze.  Not only did she have her head wrapped in gauze, it looked like she made this gauze helmet herself and it was sort of coming unraveled and was trailing down her back.  So I ask you, WTF?

5) Using the phrase, “Goodbye Boobs” to your coworkers upon leaving for the day does in fact, elicit laughter.

6) My high school boyfriend, my first everything, found me on FaceBook.  We’ve traded several emails and have been getting caught up on each other’s lives.  In his last email, he sent this,  “I think you are more beautiful now than you’ve ever been, I want you to know that.”  I giggled and blushed just like I did in high school.  Hehehehee

7) I had jury duty last week.  Upon driving downtown, paying $15 to park, and entering the Hall of Justice where my civic duty was to be had, I had a homeless man approach me asking for money.  He was wearing a hat that had a banana in it. A real banana.  Yup, only in downtown I tell ya.

8 ) Now that it’s warming up, I believe a nice little weekend getaway to Chicago is in order.  What say you, RE?
