We have been planning this reunion of a group of friends of mine from high school for this weekend coming up. It is not a whole high school reunion, but just the people out of the whole class that I really want to see. The planning has taken place over months, from picking the date when people from far away could travel to the area, finding people's email addresses, and settling on a place to meet. Now I find out that Catherine, our queen bee, the one who had picked the date and said Be There which makes everybody want to be there, is not going to be able to come. So I am kinda sad today.

I am going ahead to make fruit salad and almond cake and pack up and drive down a day early to see my friends and talk to everyone and enjoy. But still.

So, I ordered lots of art supplies online, for the painting weekend I am going to host later this month for action painting. I haven't actually painted anything since I got back from conference, and I bet I would feel better if I was doing more painting and less cooking. Made dinner, and started watching a Peter Paul & Mary retrospective, which Number One Son of course thought entirely lame and I found horribly depressing, because it is hell getting old. Then Uncle Vicky called and cheered me up. We are going to have a fun weekend. Even with the cooking. It will be good.
