My 30th reunion and stuff

Sorry, no pictures of my 30th high school reunion. It was weird for me, fun but weird. I saw and talked mostly with a couple of girls and that was it. I loved seeing Terri and Sharon and Melissa, It was the highlight of the weekend. Even after 30 years I was still insecure and afraid to talk to the "popular people" which was 90% of the people that were there. I know most of my now friends would not believe that it was me, crap I go up to strangers and start a conversation, but not these people. You know it wasn't them that kept me from it either, I did not have a happy time when we first moved to St. Louis, and I was not getting along with my family at all, I felt they could care less if I was here or not.

My mom was depressed and lonely and did not want to try and help me through those exact same feelings I was having. I carried that depression and loneliness with me everywhere I went. I even carry it around today.

I went, the husband went as my date. I took him so I would look good, my husband is damn handsome. So he and I went out on two dates and did what we normally do when we go out, eat, drink and watch people and talk to folks that approach us. I just loved the looks of surprise from my former classmates, I still don't know if it was surprise that I was there or that they were trying to figure out who I was and did I really go to school with them. I had fun though and it was good to see those that I did see.

Now my summer school - we are not going to speak of it. 'nough said.

Knitting and Crochet. I have not done much since the summer class did start. I have a lace shawl started, still working on the husbands sweater, and two crochet shawls going. I ripped out the socks I was making and am using the yarn for a scarf. I have a step niece having a baby in the fall and I want to make her a baby blanket. She's having a boy, so I know the color scheme.

I really really want to get some more ink, but I am too lazy to park the car and go into the shop I want to do it. That word lazy has been so up front in my life lately. I just want to be lazy, lazy as lazy can be and I don't know why. Anyone have a cure for the lazies?

Keep coming to the store and visiting with us! As for more ink, I think you know where I stand on that one.

Take care.
