Ugh!
STRESS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Reunion tomorrow.
Two zits have popped up overnight and I'm currently doing damage control.
Have not settled on what top to wear.
While fiddling with the postage machine at work today I have now gotten red ink all over my newly manicured nails.
Woke up with sore throat and swollen glands.
Must come up with witty response to question, "Are you married?"
Must come up with good back story that sounds more interesting than I work for a doctor (or in Cathy's case, she works with pigs.) Our current plan is to spread the word about the book we've co-written. "It's in the last phases of editing and we'll be shopping it around to publishers within the month. " (Not a total lie. We are writing a book and eventually we will be shopping it around.)

Tell them you're too cool for marriage!
And great idea on the book - it's very reminiscent of Romy and Michelle's High School Reunion :)
This is exactly why I'll be skipping my reunion - I didn't enjoy high school the first time and I'm sure as hell not going back. NEVER!
AHHHHHHHHHH... I'm nervous and excited for you! I can't wait to hear all about it!
When they ask are u married,
tell them
I AINT CRAZY, I'm young, independent, good job, endless opportunities, great friends, no strings attached sex, I got it all, why ruin it and get married.
(if they are married ask them and then ask how their marriage is)
You can then ask, whats it like to be married for X amount of yrs and shag the same person over and over and over, heheh, of course thats for the ones who annoy the hell out of you!
Good luck, dont stress, everyone there is probably lying about their status to make themselves look good. Dont let them make u feel less than FABULOUS!
You could do what my dad did once at one of my mom's HS reunions... After listening for about an hour from this guy who was bragging about how much money he made vs how much he actually reported...
He asked my dad, "So, what do you do?"
Dad: "Eh, I'm just a civil servant"
Prig: "Really, what do you do?"
Dad: "I'm an auditor for the IRS."
Hope your reunion goes well... I had my 20 year in 03' and didn't want to go...
BAH!! i love sean's idea. please use that line. please. and let us know how it went :-D
Use John's! Use John's!
That one is hilarious.
I can't wait to hear all about the fun you have.
youre going to be awesome!!! And DONT FORGET about to tell them about all the Cancer Charity work you've been doing, NOT to mention all the hard core working out!!!
You're doing a LOT...you have nothing to worry about. Besides, all those cheerleaders that you hated in highschool, are going to be pregnant, and in loveless marriages.
And all those guys, who were too good for anyone, are going to be fat, and alcoholics. While they're still trying to hold onto the good old days of highschool. I predict there will at least be ONE beer chugging contest.
Have fun
dont get too stressed!
you dont want everyone to see you stressed. act cool and collected. you've got everything together! you love life and life loves you.
-- good luck!
(oh, and by the way... take it from me [24 w/ husband and baby], it IS more "fun" being single. families can be great. but you can definitely be more spontaneous when single.)
The EXACT reason I didn't go to my stupid freaking, retarded, worthless, piece of shit, 10 reunion, last year. :P
use John line! That is great stuff
Have fun and tell me all about it.
O and what the hell does cathy do?
Such great ideas!!!! I can't wait to see how much crap I can feed these people...hehehe
I know it's really bad to say but I hope all the snooty people got fat! I'm a little nervous about seeing my ex-boyfriend again...and his wife. Hmmmm most definetly hope she got fat.
Princess...thank you for the moral support. I definetly needed that.
Linny you're going to kick ass at your reunion...Make sure you take pictures or the people you hate, and be sure to post them here, we'll all make fun of them together!
Are you married?
Just say, "When my lover signs the prenuptial that limits him to only 25 million from my estate I'l take his offers seriously.
When they ask where all this money came from, just smile and say "From the advance on my book, silly."
Have fun you will be fine. At my age, I get how is the wife questions, what do you think is worse? I am divorced
Don't worry about making up stories. Most people can tell you're lying. Honesty is more flattering. Besides, you can always brag about your spectacular blog.
Oh Kate...sorry I forgot to explain what Cathy does. Shoot and i was just at your house, I could've just told you in person. Ok...she works in pig genetics. Basically, she visits various farms and collects and analyzes data to determine which swine genetics create the best product.
I avoided that by not going to my reunion.
Always say isn't that a rather personal question and then turn it on them!
what is your book about?
An answer to the married yet question:
"Well, a few guys asked over the years... but I didn't want to settle down quite yet."
Say it with confidence and they'll believe it.
I say just tell them the truth--maybe it is true when they say that when you're married all you want to do is be single again...regale them with stories about your fabulous single life and how fabulous it is to not have to ever have to answer to anybody!
Have fun! and tell us all about it.
xjMalia-I'm the office manager for an Ophthalmology practice in Snellville.
Lorena-Think along the lines of Bridget Jones Diary. Between my life, Cathy's and all of our friends, we've got plenty of material to work with.
Today's the big day! I was just thinking about you this morning and wanted to wish you luck at your reunion!!! Have a great time!
Linny, have a wonderful time tonight and don't let the beotches get you down. ;-)
I've got a feeling this reunion is going to create much fodder for the blog for days if not weeks to come. :-)
Thanks guys!!! I just got back from getting my hair cut and she did an awesome job...it looks waaay sexy the way she styled it for me. Cathy is on her way over so we're going to eat lunch and then start the final choice and approval of each others outfits and get the hair and make-up done...
I'm nervous! Good thing I bought beer on the way home from the salon. We will most definetly need a couple before we leave.
Go Linny Go!!! You'll be amazing. The absolute envy of the room.
I envy you already!
I can't wait to hear the details!!!
I say embrace being single then your free to do all kinds of great things -- like write! No one has to know it is on a blog!
Absolute cliffhanger!
Yes, where is the AAR (after action report)???
;-)
