so this weekend i'm going to visit my family in PA. this is important because my poor mom just had foot surgery last week, and she's all laid up and can't get around too well, so i can be there to help out. although my poor dad is trying his best to make her comfortable, it's difficult ("here, i'll move your pills so you can have somewhere to put your sandwich." "don't move my pills! i can't reach them!!!" and from there it escalates, leading to an eventual 20 minute conversation between she and i about how mean people are when they move a cripple's pills away from her--things like that). so it'll be good for me to help them both out a bit, and i can spend some time with her (and check out the new zelda game!! my mom's been adventuring). i'm really excited to get home for a visit; i'm just not that excited about the 10-hour drive i have today.
the other thing going on this weekend is my five-year class reunion (although technically, it's really my six-year class reunion because we were slackers and didn't get things together in time to have the reunion at thanksgiving the way most people do). and because it was organized in kind of a slap-dash way (although i give MAD PROPS to adriana for putting it together; it's not something i could have done nearly as well), it's going to be held at a bar instead of a hall or something. lauren thinks she's been there before and it's a nice bar, but it's still a bar, and what do you wear to a class reunion held in a bar? if it was a normal class reunion, i'd wear a dress; if i was just going to a bar, i'd wear jeans and a tank top. either of those options is out of the question, because i don't want to be too dressy or too casual. i was thinking cute skirt with a cute top and either the clnuky brown shoes or the sexy black boots, but i also don't want to be too sexy (ie, trampy). i really wanted a new outfit, and i found a possibility at target last night, but i don't want to spend $30 on an outfit if i don't have to and if it's not the absolute bestest outfit ever. so i'm bringing home a whole bunch of things, and coll and laur and i are going to get ready together and help each other decide what to wear. sigh. and i really feel the need to look good for this event. i've grown up a lot since the last time i saw these people, and i want my greater coolness to be reflected. there's so many people i wish i could've known better in high school, and i'll get to see them again. not like i need to prove anything, but still.
and i need to remember to bring my little black jacket too, because it's like 10-20 degrees chillier in PA than it is here in sunny NC. where it was like 89 yesterday, everyone--be jealous, go ahead.
but on a side note, the reunion is going to cost $20, but i can afford it since i sold a bunch of clothes for $40!! yay for having extra money!
