Whoa It's AUGUST-Weekend Recap!

What a busy weekend.. but also a good weekend. :) Oh and I accidentally got rid of my old background when playing with blogger.. and it's not on that site anymore.. soooo.. I yelled expletives at my computer picked a new one!

High school reunion was this weekend as some of you recall... Wow. If you would have asked me 10 years ago if I'd be exactly where I am, I would have said no...haha. I'm definitely cool with where I am and happy; it's just so funny to remember what you thought when you were in high school. I thought I'd be a partner in a law firm by 30 years old. Granted, I suppose I still have 2 years to achieve this now-undesirable goal... but uh.. hello unrealistic Jackie at 18 years old. I thought for sure I'd be married...possibly with kids! *my eyes got wide with fear with that last part.. lol!* (Don't get me wrong. I want mini me's...just not yet.) I thought 30 was old.. and now... I think 30 is just getting started in a lot of ways. It's so weird... Anyway...

Anyway, background for those of you non T-town natives.. my high school has a rep for being a little.. ahem...shall we say you might want to wear a bullet proof vest "nonpreppy." It tends to amuse me though b/c it's really not bad...It's had it's on years.. and it's off years.. like most public schools. My friends and I were fortunate to be there during some of its "on" years. :) But, I do love the look on people's faces when I tell them where I went..Tulsa public represent! (yes, I just said that).

Most of my friends and I were in honors classes anyway... I'm not tooting my own horn here, but rather saying.. how much trouble do you think we created? Yeah. Not a lot.

Friday, Eric and I headed to the reunion shindig at Fox and the Hound. And get this.. a fav teacher who retired the same year we graduated came! Love it! And side note.. my new fav thing is one of my black maxi dresses. It's like wearing a trendy nightgown... Hello awesome!

Eric loved (sarcasm noted) wearing my high school photo on his chest. My fav line:

Eric: "Babe, were you wearing a CHAIN in your senior photo?"

Me: "It was a thick necklace..and it was so 90s..whatever."

Eric: "So the answer is yes."

This, my friends, was our class sign. It oddly resembles say.. I dunno.. some form of other ganglike symbol... But, can you see the "99?" :) Making the sign with me is one of my good high school friends, Mindy. We were on the dance team together. :)
Up until last week, there were about 40 ppl signed up...and people really came through in the end, totaling over 100 on Friday night!
Saturday, some of us went and toured the school. Weeeeeeeeird but totally the same in many ways. It even smelled the same...hahaha.. (no, I have no idea how to further describe that.) One of my friends and our former class Pres, Clint, is just in front of me in the jeans..
One person I was definitely glad to see, Leslie! :) Loved hanging with her and catching up. :) Here she is with her adorable son, Jace!
Then, time for picnic at the clubhouse where the rest of the reunion was... So weird to see some of the former jocks holding their kids hands and jumping off the diving board with them exclaiming "you did it!!!" Cute.
One of my good friends from high school, Lee, and his total look alike son behind him!
Didn't get to go to the Sat night thing b/c we were headed to Wicked. But, I feel like I definitely got to see everyone I wanted to see with the exception of a few, so it was cool! :) I have to admit... I really had a lot more fun than I thought I would. I have some old friends doing some cool things these days... and there was definitely lotsa memories and laughter exchanged. Want my advice: go to your reunion. Good or bad... you likely wont regret it. :) Eric was definitely a trooper.. He's younger so his isn't for a couple years... but he definitely hung with the best of us oldies... :)

I may have fallen asleep on the sofa and managed to get ready for Wicked in aboooout 10 minutes. I also think I may have overdone the bronzer. (I reduced the saturation in these photos). Whatever. And PS.. your tanning tips have convinced me! Gonna give Mystic a shot this week!! I like being tan... but not at the price of my health so.. hey... let's chemically dye it! (you're supposed to laugh).

Brian's bro might act like he hates posing for my photos.. but I think he loves it...
Some girlies Eric works with also at the show. I was very proud of my accessorizing with the belt...til it started restricting my breathing. Whatever. It was cute. (Accessorizing usually consists of earrings for me or a cute handbag. Scarves make me feel like I really accomplished something trendy. Belts on dresses.. yeah.. I was proud of myself, people.)
Lauren was in town for her reunion and she came by Sunday! I'd just showered (and may have had on an inapproprate t-shirt I find funny) so there were no photos taken, but we had fun! Grabbed some Sonic and chatted about goings-on. :)

Went to dinner at Los Cabos tonight with some peeps. Eric has a mysterious bruise. It's kinda his entire elbow... perplexed much? Yeah. Dunno what he's been up to when I'm not around.. Just sayin.. *nervous*
So, I noticed my camera is doing this glare thing in some pics.. In the nametag photo above, it even made Eric's eye gleam. What the crap?! Arg. I went through EVERYTHING and have bday cards, wrappings (I save gift bags), etc.. but apparently tossed the gift receipt. But, my hide and seek game with the receipt didnt matter anyway b/c best buy has an exchange policy on cameras of 14 days. Blast. I played with it and changed some settings. I have no idea what I did or whether it will work, but I guarantee you the next time I take pics, it will take me forever to undo whatever I did. *oops* It seems to work ok on "program" mode, but not "auto." Frustrated. Why can technology and I just get along?! ;)

You didn't care about any of that camera crap, but it's midnight and I've been working on it for an hour or so.. so I needed to vent. Thanks.

Overall, good good weekend! :) I can't believe I had my 10 year reunion... cannot.believe. I also got id'ed this weekend. It was like the bouncer man at White Owl read my mind...lol! Anyway, this is getting long so I'll blab more about other related stuff lates. Happy Monday!
