Had a Ball Last Weekend!
I went home for my 20th High School Reunion. I didnt even know that friday was going to be an off day at work until wednesday. So I decided to drive instead of use my free plane ticket and surprise my mom! She called me right after i backed out of the driveway getting ready to head out. She asked me when I was going to be there. I told her the next day and quickly got off the phone. 9hrs later I made it to Cincy! I had time for a shower and change of clothes before my mom popped in the door! Was she surprised! Screamed her head off.
Then I went off to my High School Homecoming game. I saw some of my classmates (YES Cara I remembered you…your face didnt change!) and we sat in the rain watching the game until halftime(we were losing 7/14) then went to Balboas for the Reunion meet and greet! Balboas was a trip! Seeing people I havent seen in 20 years. Its funny faces dont change all that much. I recognized alot of people. I saw my ace YGEA and then the party really started. I havent changed much over the years. yes I gained 30 lbs but I look good! When I was in High School I looked like a crackhead I was so skinny! Peronality wise I am still crazy as ever! Hugging people, chatting with folks and making people laugh is what I do! As usual there was a corner where all the black folks was at…just like in high school and I came back there and talked with everyone. Some of my boys commented on my pics of my thai friends so we talked about going to Thailand. I’ve been there 4 times and spent 71 days there so I gave them some good tips. I got home at 130am and woke up at 7am! Jackie (my mom’s boyfriend) cooked breakfast while we got ready. I had to make a quick trip up to Indianapolis to drop off some equipment(mini laptop, dvd burner, external hard drive, mp3 player) to Katrina a good friend of mine who will be working on some projects for me. Its part of my plan to make my life better and help her make hers better! (I love win win situations!) My mom came with me, I think she needed it. Whenever I go home we usually go out to eat and to the bookstore and the last few times I have been home we havent been able to to it. Plus I know my mom worries when I am in the Middle East! We talked alot in the car and I told her a little bit about my life in Bahrain and about JR(I call him my son but he is actually my Godson, and Joy JR’s mother and my best friend)
I didnt go to any other reunion events. I am still fighting jet lag and that 9hr drive didnt help! On sunday, I started working on my mom’s laptop…removing old programs, installing better ones so mom and get online and setup her facebook page! Since I knew I was leaving on monday and tuesday was mom’s bday this was just a way to make her happy. It took me until monday at 2pm before I got her laptop together. I closed it down, took a shower, packed and jumped into my car. I got home at 1am went to sleep and woke up at 6 to go to work. Still feeling tired!
My college homecoming is this weekend! I dont think I’ll be making that one! I am NOT up for a 8hr drive! So I will definitely be chilling this weekend. Plus I need to get my room taken care of! It’s cluttered right now. Stuff is everywhere! I am sorting thru clothes to donate to Goodwill and what I will keep. I give myself 2 weeks to get my room back to normal! Anyway enough for now!
Cya!
