Strange how things happen in groups.
He was one of the 'in' crowd, too. While I was at St Gregory's school, I was pretty much in it as well, but once I left I was out - big time. He also wouldn't give me the time of day in high school. Today was a good day; the clothes were workin', the hair was workin', the makeup was on...I even got a "damn" from an old guy checking me out in the store, and my doctor told me I was looking great and shouldn't lose any more weight. I was feeling good and as I drove to the bank I thought, "Wouldn't it be funny if I ran into ____ _______ today? He wouldn't know me!" Boy was I wrong. He walked through the door, saw me from the other side of the building and said "B__ KENNELLY!" He got both names right - Wow.
Wonder if there are any more old friends lurking...?

Posted by: SG at January 31, 2005 11:38 PMActually, I am most pleased about how great I am feeling physically - but there are days when a girl can use an ego boost. Like today. After this weekend (especially Sunday) I needed an up day.
Truth is, the old guy would probably have had a heart attack if I turned around and thanked him - and any female wearing that outfit would have probably gotten the same reaction.
The doctor has a vested interest in encouraging my positive self-image - but I am still glad he does.
And, the guy from grade school didn't seem impressed at all - though I was glad I didn't look all sloppy when I ran into him.
But, I felt good (and it felt good) and that is all that matters, I guess. Not bad for a Monday.
I would be feeling even better if I had actually gotten some exercise today...
