Well my camera is broke, and that doesn't make me very happy. My computer somehow has lost a ton of photos-more panic! And... my computer is not acting right, making it hard to type-crap! So this ole blogger is very frustrated and can't post whats she wants to! :(
Seriously? Come on universe give me a freakin break would ya?!?!
I was thinking that since I can't post photos that I wanted to then I would scan something. Well yep you guessed it-cant find what I was going to scan! It was a couple of old school news papers from my high school days. I know they are here somewhere and will get them scanned and posted when they re-appear! LoL for cryin out loud!
Seems there is something in the sun, moon and stars that is bringing on this twilight zone activity? Here it is March and we have had some gorgeous weather until yesterday when an Arctic storm blew in and it snowed AgAiN! UGGGH! We may get between one and four inches tonight. Now I love it when it snows but there should be a limit to which mother nature is allowed to torture me!
Word Up Mother Nature, It Is Time For SPRING-sheesh!
Bring on some sunshine and please let it stay a while
so my tiny little soul can be happy.
I have been working on some sewing projects, and having fun. I just can't take photos of them right now to share. I should have a couple of pics on my computer of two of them-if I can find those pics ever again!
The hubby is slowly and I mean slowly recovering. He has had a bit of a tough time, which is to be expected. With him not feeling up to par and the weather not cooperating I have not been able to work on my "Big Project" darn it! I don't think it will ever get done and it is driving me a little nuuutss! And yet we are so close.
To top things off my 30 year (yes it has been that long) high school reunion is coming up-UGH! Can I just moan that one out one more time-Double*UUGGHH*! I couldn't post my senior photo because it was one of the ones that went poof off of my computer. So I found this one, I was 17 and it was my senior year-so there ya have it.
I think I am about to have a severe mid life crisis right here right now! LoL! I have friends asking me if I'm going to this reunion and I can't make my mind up. First of all the people there at these things all just get drunk and act stupid-I don't drink! I went to the 10 year but not the 20. It was uncomfortable, and somewhat fun-mostly uncomfortable.
You would think I committed a crime for Pete's sake! Yes there are people I would like to see. But it is almost as painful at times as it was to be the tall gawky pimple faced girl with little boobs I was back in the day! Okay I did have a decent body and so wish I could be 36", 24", 36" again! But You Know what I mean? Yea I had a ton of friends and there were good times, in fact some great times, but it is still awkward for me. I don't know why that is? It's like I want to go but then again I don't. So silly I know, and the anxiety is ridicules! It could be fun? Right? Oh I just don't know!
They don't even have solid plans made yet-except that they are going to have a combined reunion for '78, '79' and '80 (later this year August or September). I'm not real hep to that combined idea-but whatever. Although I do have some great best friends from '78 that would be fun to see. There is talk of a three day event. Yea I know! Leave it to the class that closed the doors on the '70s to think that one up! LoL! What on earth would we all do for three days anyway? If it is a formal then I will have to get the perfect fitting dress and new heals which means wearing panty hose, probably control top too! LOL! And... with heals depending on the heal I will be at least 6' 3-4" because of course I will have to wear a pair of totally hot shoes to go with the perfect gosh darn dress! Then there will be accessorizing going on to boot-like I said before-UUGGHH! Okay maybe it's not as big a deal as I'm makin it out to be? But hey I am Peri-menopausal, and middle aged I am entitled to a mid life freakin break down aren't I? Or at the very least a little fitt?
So alright kids I need a pep talk here. What has your experiences been like in this area of life and give this girl a bit of help-tell me what you think??? Hope you are all having a wonderful week and... I do hope the strange twilight fever won't get you and your computer like it did mine!
I will try to get around to all my sweet blogging buddies to say Hello-sorry it has been so long- I got sucked up in some kind of time warp! LoL!
Keep on Blogging You Groovy Kids!
~Smiles~Tam!

Look, you need to get dressed in you finest, and go and show them you're one BAD MAMMA JAMMA! (I think I just dated myself w/ that comment! ;o) My 25th is coming up in June (and I'm actually helping plan it). We're making it a 3 day event, due in large part to the economy. Friday night is a meet/greet at a local bar, Sat. is a family picnic, and Sat. night is the hotel event (that cost $50/person). The cocktail party only cost for what you eat/drink & the picnic is BYOE, so we did options based on what the person can afford. Our class of 1979 is hosting a 3 day reunion also, for the classes of 1975-1985. Facebook has been a great tool for keeping everyone in touch. If I can do it, then you can - you look alot better than I do! ;O)
ReplyDeleteI'm hoping Mr. Yakker is improving. :-)
ReplyDeleteI think you should seriously give it a go with the reunion thing. Do you have to go for all 3 days? Maybe you can make a "Day 1" appearance, and tell them you have "plans" (your plan could be your "Big Project." They don't need to know! ;-). Mr. Shore House recently had his 30th reunion...it was also a combined one, actually...he was on the fence but he went as was glad he did. I think it's different for women...WAYYYYY more pressure...though I did enjoy that my laid back man came home saying things like, "Wow...I look better than Larry!" LOL!! Turns out men can be just like us.
Okay girl, you'd better go!! If you don't you'll wish you had, if you do and do not have a great time you can leave and just leave it at that!! GO!! My hubby graduated in 1979 too. It seems like yesterday when we went to his 20th. I've only been to my 5th year reunion. We haven't had one since. 2 years ago would've been our 20 and no one had the motivation to get it together. Then again, we only had 20 in our class. GOGOGOGOGOGOGO!!!!
ReplyDeleteOOOOPs, PS I meant to add I love that gorgeous picture with the Farrah Fawcett hair!!! You are back in style girl!!!
ReplyDeleteoh little tam,
ReplyDeletefirst of all, you totally rock and you have all kinds of cool news like your "motherhood" story.
when i went to my 20th reunion the best part was getting ready for it with my best friend. we got our hair done, manicures, and even had our makeup done at the MAC counter at nordstrom. we looked awesome and felt great. that part of the day was much better than seeing a bunch of people that aren't important to me now.
just hold your head high. after all, you're TAM!!!
xo
Tam I am going to have to come back and read your post. I have a good reason for not reading right now. I am having a giveaway over at my blog. It'll be open until 2:00 p.m. (CST) tomorrow. Get your booty over there girl and enter it! Oh hey tell your daughter. I've got a late start and trying to notify all my bloggy buddies! Good luck!!
ReplyDeleteWow, what a time you are having! I feel for ya. I had that a couple of weeks ago or maybe it is still going on. I lost all my photos. I love your picture. I hear you about reunions. I do not drink either and it seems that that is what it ends up being. I have not gone to mine but that doesn't mean you and your best friends can't plan something away from the reunion! It would probably be more fun that way. I sure hope you hubby is on the mend and that this crap that is happening to you ends!!!! I can't wait to see your finished project, but hey, if you do not get it done for a time... it will be there tomorrow. I should know.
ReplyDeleteHave a great day and a better week and weekend!
Hang in there,
Cheryl
Never went to a reunion and never will!! I am past that time and really only had a couple of friend and one moved to Texas and she comes to visit her family here and I see her then!
ReplyDeleteTam, I'm going through the same angst right now...my 30-year reunion is scheduled for July. A lot of my former classmates are joining Facebook and the befriending is selective, just like it was in high school. I hate that!
ReplyDeleteSo am I going to the reunion? The jury's still out on that one. So I definitely feel your pain, girlfriend!
Have your break-down girl, but jsut looking at that photo must make you feel better, the fact that you even looked so damned good MUST bring a smile to your face!!
