...I got a pedicure for THIS?!

The Alumni Dinner was TERRIBLE!! As I may have mentioned before, it was a dinner for all the 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, and 50yr+ graduates. I'd say about 75% of the people there were from the 50+ category. I kid you not, It looked like we were eating in the cafeteria at a nursing home. The only people from my year who came, out of 144 of us, was us 3. Not one other person from the class of 91 was there. Why didn't someone hip me to this, I wonder? The dinner was awful. Very tasteless and tiny portions. It cost $13 per person but I bet it only cost them $1.50 to put together. It was held in the highschool cafeteria and we weren't served, we actually had to go through the cafeteria line! There was absolutely no decorations, music, or entertainment of any sort.

So after about an hour and a half of torture, the 3 of us left to go to a local bar and restaurant for drinks and some more food, seeing as the meal didn't exactly fill us up. We did have a good time there. For those of you who missed it, it was the first time in about 14 years that I've spoken with one certain friend. We parted ways when she decided she wanted to go out with my then on again off again boyfriend. I'm oversimplifying, of course, but you get the drift. Anyway, that grudge was dropped by me several years ago and our mutual friend was trying to get us back together so we could be a threesome again. It went very well. Her husband is indeed obnoxious, but not nearly as bad as I expected. All in all, after we left the 'reunion' we had a great time. And it wasn't a total loss, I did get some new shoes.

That is too bad that the dinner was not exciting! Glad you were able to catch up with a few people you knew!
