Oh - Mandalinn!!!! How did it go?
 

"Isn't it GREAT when you go back to your hometown for an annual event that is basically a mini-high-school reunion, where you were the chubby unpopular teen, and you get to "reveal" yourself as the size 10 hottie you are?

(this is my plan for this weekend. Immature, perhaps. Important to me for whatever reason? Absolutely)."

I saw the above that you posted on the "Isn't it great" thread in support.

Well, my curious mind wants to know!

Very well! Lots of people didn't recognize me...most people, actually...which gave me the added benefit of not having to talk to anyone that I didn't want to.

Got a bit of a sunburn, though...still, good times had by all.

Where did you go?

I'm so glad you had a good time. It is kinda neat not having to speak with certain people.

It was an art and wine festival in Novato (since you're bay area, you -might- know where that is). Basically everyone from high school comes back to get drunk and listen to the bands playing.

I had to chuckle at this... I just spent a weekend in my hometown, too. Frankly, getting drunk and listening to bands doesn't require an "occasion" in the Northwoods. It's par for the course on any day ending in "-day."

Way to go on showing yourself off!

Yay...I'm glad it went well!!

I'm actually hoping to do the same for my 5 year high school reunion. I'm planning on looking stunning and with only 19 people in my graduating class (small private school) they will all know who I am!! *struts around with her nose in the air* ;) I can't wait...one more year...I should be at my goal by then.
