Does it make me a bad person...
...that I absolutely canNOT wait to go to my high school reunion this weekend???
I know the answer would be no if I could tell you that my excitement was a matter of wanting to reconnect with old friends. Or perhaps just curiousity about what my classmates are doing with their lives now. Or probably even if I was excited just because my reunion means a long weekend in Florida on the beach.
But I'm going to be honest here. I could care less about that crap. I am going back for one reason and one reason only.
Vanity.
The sheer joy of knowing that though I may not be THE most successful of my classmates, as an attorney, I'm bound to be in the top 5%. And while I may not be THE most attractive of my classmates, as a tall, thin blonde who has "filled out" considerably since high school, again, I'm bound to be in the top 5%. And finally, unlike the rumors that I've heard about every girl that was pretty or popular in high school, I am not married to some washed-up jock from our high school with three kids at home. No stretch marks. No left-over "baby weight". And no regrets that my husband, who at one time was the coooooolest guy in high school, is now a balding, overweight used car salesman.
OK, so yes, I am a bad person. But I still can't friggin' wait for this reunion!
