Hard to Believe...

Next year will be 20 years since I graduated from high school. WOW! It's hard to believe that nearly two decades ago, my classmates and I walked across the stage of the Kennedy Center in DC to receive our diplomas from Thomas S. Wootton High School. And guess what? After all these years, I finally know who Mr. Wootton was! The founder of Montgomery County, where I grew up. Apparently, it takes a bit of age and maturity to learn these important tidbits of trivia...

Anyway, when I realized just how much time had passed since my days at Wootton, my first thought was, "I don't FEEL that old!" And, my second thought was, "I wonder who's planning the reunion and when it will be..." Since I couldn't do anything about altering the passage of time, I decided to at least be part of the planning process. I am happy to say that I found a group of people who are interested in all doing it together -- some of whom helped plan the 10 year reunion, and some of whom (like me) are new. We have our first meeting this week (with me on the phone from NJ), and hopefully, we will be off and running after that.

As much as I dislike the fact that it's been nearly 20 years, I am excited for the reunion, especially since I missed the 10 year one. It will be great to catch up with old friends after so many years...

It's Been A Long, Long Time...

I suddenly realized that it's been a month since my last post. YIKES! Not that I haven't had anything to say -- I think I just haven't had time to say it! Somehow, there are never enough hours in the day or days in the week to get everything done. (As evidenced by the 6 loads of laundry I have to do this weekend. I have no idea why I let it build up like this. Again, it's that time thing...)

That needs to be my End-Of-The-School-Year-And-Beginning-Of-Summer Resolution: to find time to do the things that need to get done. Things that need to get done to function in this world (i.e. the laundry!), as well as things that need to get done to keep me sane (i.e. writing a somewhat-regular blog post or reading a few chapters at a time of a trashy, beach novel). The "to do" list is long, but I'm sure I can do it. Now I just have to find the time to compile the list in the first place...
