Wow, Pix. I got tired out reading your post. May your flight be uneventful and your reunion awesomeness.

My 40th HS reunion would have been last year. I really don't remember anyone at all from HS so I didn't consider going. I graduated in 1972. This means half of my HS was in the 60s. I have very little memory of this time. I'm pretty sure it was fun.

x-posty - I'll keep sending the job~ma toward TCG.

College was in several states and 4 universities mostly as an evening part-time student. There wasn't really any long term friendships made, although I did graduate with DH so that was enough.

Triple!

I dunno if I ever told this story here

I had not heard that before. Too adorable!

DH and I bonded over Joss Whedon, escrima and Bruce Campbell movies in our initial pre-F2F meet on-line.

Thanks guys, now I'm afraid of my bathroom mirror!

Well, at least it loves you, right?

I am currently bonding via FB chat with a guy over Let the Right One In. He wants this to become a sex chat, I'm sure. Not sure how my celibate ass feels about that.

And now we're talking about what weirds us out about sex. I suppose at some point i should mention that I'm not actually having it anymore. How do these things work? I've never sex-chatted anyone.

Hell, I thought we were innocently flirting, but apparently he just likes to sext people.

Anthony Weiner?

We should do something about that." And he says, "Oh, yeah, right! What's your number?"

I need a clue-stick wielding woman like that.

sj, much job~ma for TCG.

I need people to talk me down from buying clothes that are not really in the budget to wear to the award luncheon thingy, that I would not likely have another occasion to wear unless I got fed up at this job and started going on interviews for fields that expect much more business-like attire. I have never met the CEO of this outfit before, so I have no idea where she falls on the jeans-suit spectrum. Day in and day out I wear jeans and a t-shirt to work, and things much fancier than that are few and far between. Tell me no one expects me to be there in suit or office-dress.

I have thought that the jersey split skirt, matching sleeveless top, and (handmade) splash-of-coordinating color bolero that I wore to a recent wedding in Daniel's family would be reasonably appropriate. Then I have to figure out things to put on my feet.

ETA: The thing about shoes is that none of the shoes I have that I consider truly appropriate for the occasion fit me anymore. And they would be painfully unsupportive even if they did. So I am down to some pretty-ish sandals (for instance the men's thong-style sandals that I glued mother-of-pearl ornaments to for the Madison F2F) or some canvas loafers.

I hate this.

Aw, Andi. It's you they're celebrating, not your outfit. It's time for sandals to go on sale, maybe you could find something inexpensive but sparkly? I'm sorry you are stressing about this.

Continued ~ma to TCG! And continued humanity~ma to your in-laws, sj.

Dude, autocorrect is coming up with some weird shit tonight. Hope I'm catching it all.

Happy road-tripping, Suzi!

Liese, I love that story.

Pix, what a bummer you missed that meal! I hope you have fun at your reunion.

I didn't have sex with anyone in college until the summer before my senior year (hello first girlfriend who was someone else's at the time) but there was a fair amount of making out.

I'm in Raleigh at my sister's apartment, awake at 4:20 am. I just ate some cookie dough, because she bought it for me; I couldn't eat it earlier because migraine. I hope I sleep in the car tomorrow, feh.
