Whoops

So I flew home to visit my family and go to my class reunion. Except it looks like I missed my class reunions. At least part of it. I got the date mixed up and the cocktail formal reunion was last night, and I thought it was tonight. As it turns out though there is a picnic tonight so I'll go to that. I'd just hate to find out that some of my old friends went last night and decided not to come tonight. On the other hand, I do know that none of them live in Colorado, so maybe they couldn't fly home in time to make it to a Friday night event, and so they'll be coming to the Saturday one instead. I hope.

It's all kind of funny too because I'm so very web savvy, but classmates.com is just so cluttered that I really couldn't figure out what was going on. As it turned out I could have bought tickets in advance, and had them mailed ot me (and then I wouldn't have known for sure when it was) which I would have loved to do, but I had no idea that I could do that. In fact the only reason I know about the event today is that I buckled down and after some real searching tracked down my High School's web page (it's not easy to find). There everything was explained clearly.

Looks like I brought a cocktail dress for nothing.

Grrrr

Okay so I've been meaning to go home to see my family since Thanksgiving, but I just couldn't make it work. Then I realized my 10 year high school reunion was coming and I figured that would be the perfect time to go out there. So I RSVPed via classmates.com. Now I never received an invitation or heard anything back. To be honest the info on classmates.com made it look like they still hadn't decided the details of the reunion other than the weekend, so when I flew home there was a part of me that was wondering if the reunion was really happening.

Now I thought the reunion was today, so early this morning I went back to classmates.com and looked up the details so I could plan me day. That's when I realized that the main reunion had been yesterday. Whoops. Totally my fault, although again, I'll point out that despite the fact I RSVPed I'd never received any invitation that I could check. But there was still that questionable thing that implied there would be a second event today.

Finally after a long and difficult search (well by google standards) I found the web page for my high school and tracked down a link for reunions. According to that page you had to RSVP using the form on the blog on the previous page (um hello? the previous page was the high school's web page, and there was not blog and no link to this mysterious blog.) After RSVPing they were supposed to contact you so that you could pay in advance. Again, I was never contacted by anyone, but then I still haven't found this mystery blog.

In any case that page did list in detail the time and place of the event that was supposed to be today. So I went there and no one was there. I guess it must have been cancelled, but hey, it would have been nice to know. So I'm kind of annoyed. On the other hand I still doubt the people I really wanted to see would have shown up. I just wish I knew how to contact them.

ETA: Well it guess I was rather lucky after all. The reunion today was supposed to be a picnic and if I'd stayed around for another 10 minuites waiting for people to show up I would have been caught in a hail storm with 3/4 inch diameter hail. So I guess that was good. Actually me and my parents just had the weirdest dinner ever. Between almost every bite we were running to the front door to see if our irrigation ditch was flooding, and we were checking the radio stations for flash flood warnings. Looks like the 100 year flood isn't going to be tonight though.
