Reunited and It Feels and Tastes So Good

B and I weren't the only ones that were happy to have Brad home. Jersey and Brad like to pal around even though it inevitably ends with Brad's head in Jersey's mouth or Jersey chewing on Brad's ear. Until that point, though, it is love.

I submit the following evidence. These pictures were taken after I told Jersey to leave Brad alone and then a few minutes later discovered that she had "trapped" him under my desk:


One of my favorite pics:


And this one:


By now Brad was purring away:


He could feel the love:


And right about here is where it all went downhill:


Until that point, though, it was love. Just like every morning when we wake up and go downstairs, Brad appears in a flash, rubbing against Jersey, wanting to love her, loving their daily reunion.

Speaking of reunions, I had my high school reunion this weekend. I won't even tell you what year. Let's just say it wasn't a single digit. The closer it got, the more I contemplated not going. After all, I knew most of what was going on in everyone's lives via Facebook and the people that I hung out with weren't going to be there. But B said it would be good for me to be social. Please. What does he know? 

What can I say about reunions? Some people grow up and a very large group never change. Some people still feel rejected despite the fact that they are a fully functioning adult, other people just don't care. The best part by far was watching a group of grown ass women shaking it to old school rap like Too Live Crew. As I said to B, "can you imagine if a current sophomore from my school wandered into this room right now?  That girl would say 'what is with all of these old chicks'?"

The other best part? The food. We love food. There was a strolling dinner featuring an Asian fusion station that was fantastic. I think that is all I ate. I also tried the Caprice salad station but it is a little hard to fashion a salad like that on a plate. It just looks like you are eating a piece of cheese on a tomato with random olives. Or so says B.

Can you believe that the planning committee is already talking about the next reunion 5 years from now? Ugh. One girl at the party remarked "it seems like we should be old but I don't feel old" to which I responded "that's what old people say."

I wonder if I will even get an invite.

I love those pictures of your dog and cat loving on each other. So sweet!

I never attended my high school reunion either. I figure most of those people weren't all that interested in me back then, surely they wouldn't be all that interested in me now. Plus all the people I cared about, I pretty much already knew what they were up to.

Why go to a reunion when you have Facebook? That is enough of a reunion for me that is for sure.

And I love the pictures of Brad and Jersey. They are BFF's! However, I would have liked to see some pictures of your reunion........

sprinkles - they are buds, that is for sure. I should have taken your advice about reunions.

Jennifer - those were my exact words to B! What more is there to say to each other? I wish I had pictures of our reunion - Brad looking all mangy, me looking all mangy. Cue the violins...
