I can't believe the news today...
Well, the reunion went off without a hitch. None of my two or three super close friends were there, but plenty of old friends were present. It was pretty uneventful - no fights, no name calling, no drunken behavior. Everyone seemed happy to see each other. I understand that a lot of the drunkenness happened the night before at the picnic. Victor and I didn't go to that, because we were busy flying into town and then visiting with my family.
I was telling my friend Megan that it was kind of like there were really no social classes there. We had all grown out of being freaks, jocks, cheerleaders, popular kids, nerds, whatever. Some of the best-dressed, happiest people there were "nobodies" in high school. People who really didn't talk to me back in the day said hi, and I saw that happening to everyone. I guess we've all grown up! I'm glad that I've gotten over my animosity.
On Saturday, before the reunion, my mom, sister, Diana, Victor, and I (plus my baby nephew) went bridesmaid dress shopping. We finally found one that everyone agreed on, so I can check that off my wedding to-do list. Just a couple more things to do, and then we're smooth sailing for a little while.
I have decided to get a new car, a silver Mazda3. I'm getting the four-door version. We're going to sign the paperwork tonight, and possibly pick it up as well. They're bringing it from a Houston dealership, so it might not be here until tomorrow morning. I am so excited! I have to find a way to get rid of my old car, though. I might try CarMax, or maybe one of those "no credit, no problem!" type places in east Dallas.
One more news item... we're finally in the process of moving! We have taken several loads of stuff to our new place, but we are discovering that we have SO. MUCH. STUFF. Trying to move it all in a little BMW just isn't hacking it. So I think we're getting movers on Saturday. Note to self: check whether Victor has actually booked anyone.
