My high school reunion is on Saturday. I get to see a friend I really want to see for the first time in several years, and in the context of people we went to high school with.
Me, 1987-88ish, freshman in high school. Rob Lowe and Princess Reebocks ftw!
I still have the unicorn blanket…
I am very, very excited to see my friend, but about the rest of the night, my emotions have been fluctuating between Totally Awesome and Gag Me With A Spoon. We graduated in 1991, which makes this twenty years. 20.
So, today, a tribute to the 1980s, which was the decade in which I was a teenager.
This post is dedicated to my daughter, Elena. It’s Homecoming on Friday and this is Spirit Week at her school. Today is 80s day. Now I know how my parents felt when we had 60s day…
This is Elena, wearing the jacket that I embellished my freshman year. I helped her roll up her jeans. She did the rest!
I wish I could find a photo of myself wearing this jacket, but alas, I do not have one.
The jacket from the back. Yeah, that’s how I rolled. Even back then. I love seeing my daughter in my jacket from high school!
And now, for another musical interlude.
While looking for the jacket Elena’s wearing today, I remembered a vest that I’ve kept that has my button collection from middle and high school on it. These are some of my favorites. In self-defense, I’d like to comment that I was an honors student. 😉
Did I ever mention that George Michael’s Faith tour was my first concert? And oh, Jon Bon Jovi, how I loved your hair.
Some of my stickers from high school, found when my parents moved out of our childhood home.
So, high school reunions. Did you, would you, could you go to yours?
