One of the things I love about the boys being in sports (ok really it's one of the things I hate too) is seeing old friends, classmates, and old crushes. I've reconnected with a few people that were good if not great friends at one time or another. These are the people that I really want to make sure that they stay in my life from now on. You know who you are! The funny thing is that two of these people made me pumpkin cookies! How weird is that? I love anything that is pumpkin! Now, I'm not saying that you have to make me pumpkin anything just to be my friend , but hey it can't hurt! Ha, ha, ha!
Some of the other people that I have reconnected with were friends or acquaintances. I love seeing most of these people too. I love seeing how they have changed or even how they have stayed the same. I like seeing their kids and hearing a little about their lives now. Even the friends that I don't see but that I stay connected with through Facebook.
Then there are the people I see and I think "What in the hell was I thinking?". Old crushes that have done nothing with their lives. Well, except manage to get arrested a few times. Former friends that I am ashamed to say I once knew them. You know the ones.... The only thing that they are good for is using them as an example to teach your kids a lesson. Really! I did this once in Wally World!
Anyway it makes me wish that I had been nicer when I was younger. I just really hope that people see that I have changed in some ways.

A lot of my best friends now are people I was best friends with way back when. =)
People mature at different rates...some not at all. I didn't know you back then, but you're a "pretty okay" gal now in my book. :)
LOL, Mandy isn't this so, so true! Well stated kokopelli.
I LOVE pumpkin too... I have all these recipes sitting on my counter just waiting to be created...Pumpkin cheesecake, pumpkin cupcakes, pumkin scones, pumpkin rolls....I just keep adding to the list.
Oh and BTW...I don't go to Vermilion that often because I just can't stand to run into people from High School. I was nice to everyone and people always say that when I see them. I am not sure what my issue is...I guess I don't want people to see me old. LOL.
I get a bit sad now that I'm friends through Facebook or blogs or whatever with people I went to school with because everyone seems so nice now, and I didn't really get to know people too well in school. Or, everyone thought I was a skanky hillbilly or something. It reminds me of how lonely I was back then. But it's nice to get to know people now. I guess better late than never! :P
