I went to my 30th and there were all sorts of strange vibes...and I long ago left off being the person I was then.

I have to say, I felt rather pleased.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8327217397152414129.post-1892451820483333002012-06-23T20:59:42.120-07:002012-06-23T20:59:42.120-07:00Hello Deja!! heehee, you're becoming famous in...Hello Deja!! heehee, you're becoming famous in your own right these days, what with being in Sal's book and all - i was so excited when i heard you were in it!! i hope you're going to post about what that was like at some point, i know i'm dying to hear about it!<br /><br />that sounds like a bittersweet experience, but i am glad to hear that in the end you really made some peace with it and kind of 'tied up the ends'. And especially nice that you were more happy with the way your life had turned out :)<br /><br />thank you! <br /><br />Sheila, that is a fun story about your ma and your ex meeting! Janitor is honest work, though maybe not inherently fascinating....<br /><br />i thought you had mentioned a bit about your husbands' political foray in the past. I had no idea about the asinine attacks, tho. oh, what am i saying! we all know that politician's performance and views correlates absolutely with how their wives look /snark. <br /><br />it is very very difficult to keep a positive view of the human animal at times. i BET it was eye opening! i can really see why any sensible person would just run away from public service these days, and i don't think our society is the better for it.<br /><br />thank you! i love that fabric so much! and it's so comfy, too :)<br /><br />Hi Adrienne! WOW! and hooray for your gut, and for you for trusting it!! i've known women who knew guys were bad news and just didn't listen to themselves, i can end horribly. Good for you - you are a good example for us all.<br /><br />That's funny about teachers - my mom was a teacher's aide for many years and we socialized with a lot of teachers, so i know what you mean. You describe the phenomenon well!<br /><br />"All the scrutiny public people get is not for me." i agree more than i can say. And this incident really reinforced that for me. I do like the balance of being a 'nobody' blogger as well. you get some feedback, there's a sense of community but it's not splattered all over the Enquirer!<br /><br />Happy Day!! stephtinyjuncohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03614867046924013061noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8327217397152414129.post-71985670655029030842012-06-23T12:50:23.264-07:002012-06-23T12:50:23.264-07:00I found out about an old flame of mine by Googling...I found out about an old flame of mine by Googling him . Well unfortunately for him, he got involved with a bad crowd and is in jail for a long time. Wow I knew he was bad news when I broke up with him. I am glad I trusted my gut at the time. <br />I was a public school teacher for 30 years. If I ran into a student in public they acted so funny. To the parents I was a nobody to the student I was a 'school celebrity'. I consider myself happy to be a 'nobody'. All the scrutiny public people get is not for me. I love blogging because you can get some feedback without relinquishing any privacy really with the numerous people doing it now I doubt I'd ever get that singled out.Adriennehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12133408484307666338noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8327217397152414129.post-13807977524336726322012-06-23T08:35:24.492-07:002012-06-23T08:35:24.492-07:00Oh, and you look lovely in this, Steph.

Not much there. <br /><br />My husband ran for public office (on a federal scale) many years ago and we were under the microscope. I was criticized for being overweight (!!) and encountered many people who assumed they knew who we were because of the party he ran under. It was very eye-opening.Sheilahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07735339885677950350noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8327217397152414129.post-47117835239518358402012-06-23T07:03:04.611-07:002012-06-23T07:03:04.611-07:00I actually had the opportunity to see my old high ...I actually had the opportunity to see my old high school flame (and his wife) a couple of years back. He was my first love and it took me years to get over him after he decided that he didn't want to be "tied down" when he went away to college. It had been over 30 years since we'd seen each other. We met them for lunch and had a wonderful visit, and I came away realizing a) I really liked his wife, she's a good woman, and b) I wouldn't have been happy in the life that he made for himself. Nothing wrong with it, just too "normal" for me. <br /><br />Love your outfit there. It's very lighthearted and pulled together at the same time!Susan Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16005855250089328310noreply@blogger.com
