Nervous

For the last 5 or 6 months I have been preparing for a major event in my life. As the months have past I have continually thought about (ok...obsessed) going to my 20 year class reunion. I know, I know, it is hard to believe, but it is very true. I have been out of school for 20 years. Now in this elapsing time frame I have also thought about all the things I need to do before I go to the reunion. Some of you might ask, what is there to "do" before, but if you know me even a little bit you know that I have written out lists of things to do...ie...lose weight (That is the biggest (no pun intended) and highest of priorities on the list.) what to wear, to lose weight, how to wear my hair, lose weight, get a mani and pedi, lose weight, and the list goes on from there. Because of the circumstances in my teen years due to a tramatic move, I had the option of going to not only one reunion but two. However, I chose not to attend the reunion in Alamosa where I actually graduated. I didn't like nor did they like me and I felt no desire what so ever to attend. There were only a couple of people I even considered seeing if I did go. But I didn't!
HOWEVER
My reunion in Granby is this coming weekend July 31/Aug 1 and I am so freakin nervous! I seriously have lost sleep for the last 6 or 7 nights and to top it all off I have had the mother of all migraines for 5, yes 5 days straight. My stomach hurts, my head hurts and all this for a couple of days with friends I haven't seen in 22 years. I even had my friends from Monticello and Colorado Springs as well as my brother and daughter help me pick out to wear. Why should I care, it is only Granby "for cryin in the beer cheese soup!!" I, and don't laugh when you read this, have even had to talk to my psychiatrist about this. TWICE!!
So what the heck, why am I so nervous?
Because...I have no idea!!

The Best Prom Date Ever!

Ok, enough about Shyanne, heheehee! I got to go to prom for the second year in a row! As most of you know, Steven has lived with us for 14 years. 3 years ago an area church decided to have a "prom" for the people in Mesa county that are disabled and or handicapped. We, Steven and I, did not know about it the first year, but found out about it last year and decided to go. Steven purchased a high end suit and accesories and I now had a reason to purchase a prom dress. I love prom dresses! Anyway, we went again this year and again had a blast. It was so amazing to see all these people dressed to the nines and party their boodies off. I am hooked. And thanks to Steven for asking me to be his "Date". (I probably would have gone anyway!) But none the less he is the best prom date anyone could ask for.
The purple dress is the first year. Then I had buy a new one for this year! No wonder my daughter acts the way she does. LOL

Star Crossed Lovers

As stated below Shyanne was invited to the Monticello Prom by Farrell Doucet. I'm so glad that they are friends. They had a great weekend, and so did I since I got to go see my best friend Lora. Farrell had a ton of stuff planned the only problem was that their prom was on a Friday night. So, they hung out for awhile, then I did Shyanne's hair, then they went to dinner. They then went to the prom, as well as Lora, Dayne, Chase and I. They still have a tradition that the Junior class does the "Promonade". This year was no different and Farrell happened to be in it this year. So I think everyone and their brother (and sister, aunt, uncle, cousin, grandparents) for each kid was there. We even had to pay the ticket price to go in for 30 min. 10 freekin dollars per person. That sucked!
Anyway, it was fabulous. The kids danced to Taylor Swift's "Love Song" and it made me cry. It was decorated sooo nicely. The best I think I have ever seen as far a High School proms go. We adults left and were hanging out when Shyanne and Farrell walked in the door like 30 min later. They were done with the dance. So they went out to the studio and watched a movie. Chase got home later than they did and he didn't even have a date! They had a great time and had fun the rest of the weekend. By the way, she did get a new prom dress!
