Sheepo's flip-flops

I’m pretty sure it’s only “all about me” in my own head!

It’s 1:03am.  My alarm is set for 5:30am and I’ve got the jitters.  Ron is in Lexington, Kentucky waiting to pick me up at the Lexington airport tomorrow as we head off on an adventure.  Ron’s 50th high school reunion is happening in Kenova, WVA next weekend and I’m quaking in my flip flops.  I never really know how obvious our age difference is and most of the time I could care less.  Somehow, I’m pretty sure in a room full of folks who graduated when I was 2 there will be telltale signs.  I feel like a high school kids myself.  ”Will the like me?”  ”Will they think I was looking for a sugar daddy?”  ”Are they going to wonder if I was a home wrecker?”  It’s interesting.  I’m not wondering what they will be thinking about Ron – only me.

In a situation like this, it would be easy for me be standoffish and that would be the worst thing I could do.  I’ve got to buck up and be me.  I’m the only me I’ve got.  It would also be good to remember that everyone I have ever met in Ron’s home town has been nothing but warm and friendly.  Little bitty towns in West Virginia sure are different than The Big D or Chi-Town.  So as my mother used to say (no she wasn’t in the Air Force) “off we go in to the wild blue yonder….”

I’ll keep you posted ;-)
