2008...let the countdown begin!

So it's official...we are less than two years away from our 20th. Some of our elderly friends who stop by here on occasion know their time has come - it's your year class of '88! Dust off your party pants! Kathleen should have a pre-party so us babies can see how the older and wiser kids will handle their 20th. Practice, practice - right? Help us youngsters out. (wink)

Actually any excuse to party with any of you old friends would be great. Maybe we can have a few get togethers for old time sake. We can hit the Bluffs, Sadek Court and whatever other old school haunts we can think of. We can also gather at some nostalgic concerts to keep our '80's rocker spirits alive. Shawn & I might be off to Vegas in April to catch Def Leppard, Styx & REO Speedwagon (jealous??? laughing???). Anybody have a banana clip I can borrow? Which of you did I loan my cropped denim jacket to? On to other things...some of us will be doing Bay 2 Breakers this year - make sure to keep ourselves agile enough to get down at the reunion. Maybe this is the year to start ressurecting the annual night before Thanksgiving thing at Marie Calendars...does that still happen? How did that ever land at Marie Calendars by the way?! Or - there's always Players...

Anytime I see any of you is a good time by the way. Here's to a great 08 to all of you!

POUR SOME SUGAR ON ME!!!!!!!!!! lol...

Cheers,
Temple

PS - Dave, the rumor is true...you were on a tentative list for being t.p.'d in the not so distant past. I'm privy to this information only as a bystander as it was not my idea. But you can talk to Amy ByH20 about the list. She knows we don't "fork" around if a few cocktails have been consumed and we're in the neighborhood, you never know what can happen.

Tab and I crashed the 20th reunion for the grads of 86 (me more than her since she married one of them) and had a blast. I have to admit that the girls were smoken and the guys...not so much. Therefore, i think we should challenge the guys in our class to a "who looks better" contest. I will have new boobs, a tummy tuck, and thank goodness some hair by then!!! Any of you boys up to a little contest??? That gives us two years to get into shape or better yet, maybe we could just have a drinking contest?

Dave, i haven't seen you in a long time, but I remember a lot of things about you. For example, the time you kissed me on the cheek in 5th grade and i was out for three weeks with the flu and then the chicken pox and you thought you got me sick. How cute is that.

Oh the good old days

sue said...

Hey I have a great idea...Kathleen why don't you and your gal pals leave your husbands at home and bring us as your dates????? That would be sooooo much fun!!!!!

HAM said...

Now Laura that was a cute story about Dave....

Dave you are such a Teddy Bear!

I'm with you Sue, it seems like we always have more anyways when the husbands aren't around....What happens in Downtown Folsom stays in Downtown Folsom (Our last Girls night out)..Hee, Hee....

ok.... i am dreading the 20 year reunion. i can't even loose 10 lbs from baby2! seriously, i can't believe you guys are so excited for the reunion. the thought gives me anxiety. however, i would love to see all you girls - especially you Laura with your new boobs, tummy tuck, hair do.... think i have time to lipo before then? (This is Amy by the way - the blog always calls me Anonymous).

Temple said...

Ladies...you guys have been killing me lately. I understand the insecurity that this reunion will stir up. I also know it gets harder as the years go by to find pictures of us we consider flattering. I feel it all too - no exceptions here! But seriously - so we weigh a little more than we might have back in the day and our bodies have shifted (that comes with the territory of having kiddos) and the camera seems to have a conspiracy against us most of the time - but all that aside - all of you look fabulous and shouldn't we just be blessed that we are all healthy and doing well? I have seen plenty of 36/37 somethings that have nothing on you. Besides, as Laura said - we have almost two years to work on whatever issues we might have. Amy - you were dreading the reunion before baby #2 so what gives?! Just drink enough so that you don't care anymore and flash the people in 7-11...oh wait, that was the 10 Year reunion. That same night I am guilty of drinking enough to throw on a swim suit at Shawn's and hop in the hot tub with Kent Fritz. (I did have a swim suit on...didn't I?!) Jeeze... Regardless, I will keep my clothes on at the 20th and have a blast celebrating 20+ years of the greatest friendships on the planet!!!

I can't believe we are sooooo old. I don't even want to think about how old we are. I don't feel this old. This will give me good reason to get back to the gym though - then again, I work well under pressure so maybe I'll wait a year. Amy - you are too hard on yourself - you are one hot mama!!!
(this is Tab by the way)

2 weeks of no carbs and 60 min at the gym every other day and no difference! i give up! :) AM

Dave said...

Laura you are my hero! The things you remember amaze me! I gave you my best and you got sick!

Oh to have that day over again....I would have never let Rob Martin and Ty Thomas in on it! That was like 25 years ago.....WOW!

What girls were smoken at the 86 reuinion?? I can't be in on any challenge cause I know freakin Nooren, Novak and Shane Calkins are in better shape now than in high school! What the hell you only live once and maybe I can be the next Jared from Subway or something.

Amy, I'm glad you guys didn't T.P my house, cause my only tree in my front yard is looking like Charlie Brown's Christams tree. One roll would have broken her! Now my back and side yard is a different story.

Temple said...

Aw, Dave...

Ladies - I think we should hook Dave up and at our 20th we can all walk in surrounding him like we are his posse. I bet Novak, Shane & Nooren couldn't pull that off! We can make him a bling shirt that says "SNOOP DAVE IS IN THE HOUSE". Fashizzle. ;)

Hey this is anonymous #3! T-Mac, what up ladies and gent? Okay so I am totally down for leaving Bryson at home (you can not think that I'm looking forward to the day he gets to meet Scott Blair?!?) and taking you gals as our dates. My one and only really big hang up is that we, Kelly, Fred Lemke and I went skinny dipping in front of the entire class reunion!! WTF?? Little bit mortified at that flashback. So if you guys wanna convince me that nobody remembers that I'm all ears...This means that you really only have 6 or 7 months. Get to crackin. I'm thinking TrimSpa early July should suffice. Happy New Year!

Wow - I am learning so much from this blog. We all knew Dave was the mac daddy. There was only a few girls you didn't kiss, right? -so you just remind your six-pac friends of that. You probably visit this site often for your ego!:)
Tanya - never heard about the skinny dipping....with Fred Lemke WTF?!? Were you trying to make Scott jealous? j/k! Last time I saw him he had a sock on his cell phone.....Ha!
And yes Temple you had your suit on. Amy - it is called Spanx and it will do miracles.
If Laura has new boobs and a tummy tuck, we have got some work ahead of us girls to even stand next to her! If I win the lotto, instead of a spa day, we can have a surgery day of lifts and such!:)
BTW - Sadek court is full of houses now! Damn. I remember about 15 years ago, the old DC grads went to Brother Olivers - but wasn't too fun. That would be funny, but is so hard to pull off these days. Would love to try, though! Dave & I talked about trying to put together a get together this year sometime. We will get on that!
Party on!

Ok let me just tell you Amy, you are hot!!!

And to make you feel better, at least you weren't me tonight at my boot camp class where even the 50-60 year olds looked better than me and could excerise longer. Then the fricken teacher kept looking at me like I was holding up the class and she would say, "Come on you can do it."

I am so ready to get back in shape. Girls we have got to do Bay-to-Breakers for sure no back outs. Laura- last time we emailed you said you might be up for it as well? Please come and do it with us and bring your plastic surgeon. I would love to see you and your hot new commodataties(Can't spell tonight) although you don't need all that work to make you beautifull because you always will be no matter what. Come on Shawn win that lotto so you can get us all plastic surgery!!!!

Oh--Shawn and Dave if you have a party you should have Fred Limke come and perform because I believe he is a musicain(I really can't spell tonight) has a CD and plays in the city.....Food for thought!

Peace Out--HAM

Hi Everyone! I missed the 10 year reunion, but plan on making it to the 20 year. I can't wait to see everyone! I've enjoyed reading the blog and emails.

Have a wonderful day!

Laura said...

Hey girls, you don't have to win the lottery to get work done, just get cancer and you get it all for free! There has to be some benefits right? I think i might have just set myself up. Although I would love to be babolicious for our reunion, I most likely will be knocked up again, God willing.

BTW Dave, us girls love you just the way you are.

Anonymous said...

So... do you think now would be a good time to tell Dave he is always the first subject in the "I never game" at all of our bachelorette (SP?) parties?

Laura - You are going for 3? I must say... you are a crazy woman!

Adios - I am off to bake in the sun for 5 days!

Amy

Dave said...

Amy
I have NO idea what the "I never game is"......I'll have to pay attention at the next bachelorette party I go to! You can email it to me cause I have a feeling it isn't a good thing!

Shawn....whenever I am feeling depressed or down, I always come on here for an EGO boost.....I love it! It's better than watchin Dr. Phil to make me feel better! I'm think the Brother Oliver's night would be sweet!At least now we are that age that frequents that place.

BTW...when i went to my wifes 20 year a couple months ago.....I ran into some D.C. folks. Talk about weird.

Temple said...

Dave,
It's been awhile since I've been to a bachelorette party myself but if I remember correctly - I Never is when someone says something like "I Never kissed Dave Roth" and everyone who has must drink. I love that particular "I Never" comment because I'm pretty much the only one who doesn't have to drink :). I'm fascinated at how many of the girls in my circle of friends raise their cups to that one - you get around! Maybe I should change the name of this blog to Dave's Ego Shack or something along those lines. Before I end up defending myself I suppose I should fess up that I always end up doing plenty of drinking as the I Never game continues though :\.

T - where was your 10 year at - Folsom Lake?! What water were you and the boys skinnydipping in?

Anonymous said...

I thought that I made it clear that I was trying to forget about that night(mare). I think that it was at the Hyatt or Hilton or some swanky place like that. It was a great pool, right outside their lobby if my memory suits me. I wish that it was Folsom Lake! So, does this mean that nobody wants to be my date? What about you Dave? I don't think we've hooked up yet ;)

Klacking here---So how serious is everybody about B2B? I've done it before and would be willing to drink my way through another tour of SF. Keep me posted.

Temple said...

T McD - hey wait a minute...I thought the idea was to take us girls to the reunion for a practice run. Can I be your date? Kathleen can take Sue? I promise I won't let you get naked and jump in any pools (or lakes or fountains for that matter).

Scott - Dead serious about B2B. As it gets closer we'll make sure to throw details out here somewhere so anyone interested can rally. Thanks for the pic - it will inspire the next new post and I'll get on that soon.

~Temp

HAM said...

Hey Scott would love it if you joined us. Would you be needing a hotel room because we will be staying in SF the night before and we can all go out to dinner and throw down a few..... I am going to try and get rooms at the Hyatt...

Hey I have an idea we can all dress up as cougars since we all went to Del Campo and we were the cougars there....Just Kidding...

Hey Joey are you going to do it as well?

HAM

HAM said...

Now wait a minute Mr. Klacking---

I just realized something....If you join us the night before in SF Don't get any ideas in your head that you will end up in bed with ten girls like Dave did!

-First of all we are all older now
-Secondly as also stated in the blog there is no way ten of us big mamas will all fit in one bed anymore.....

I am totally kidding with is email by the way......

Hey all - does anyone here happen to know anything about a possible ’88 20-yr. reunion? My brother Steve is in that class, and he was wanting to attend. I think that technically, the class prez is the one who usually puts together class reunions, but so many years pass with so much happening, who knows if they’re always able to do that. It would be a shame if there isn’t one, being that it’s 20 years! It seems like someone should be able to put something together. My bro couldn’t help much I think, since he is career military, so his schedule wouldn’t permit much.

Too bad DC doesn’t have some kind of all-class reunions, or maybe we should just crash other classes, heh. A lot of us were friends or aquaintances with people from other classes.

Klack here.

Temple and Jen I'm in for B2B. The Hyatt totally works for me. It's at the starting line and we can stumble out of the elevator and onto the course.

Kathleen said...

Ok girlies and Dave!! I totally think we should ditch our husbands and bring all you girls. It would be great practice to watch and play what not to do. I guess Brandie is organizing our reunion this year. I am just glad I won't be breast feeding and have my boobs hitting everyone that walks by. Should be lots of fun :)

Who the hell didn't kiss Dave!! I must confess that I too subscribe to the Pucker Up Dave Club.

I miss all you girls. We should definitely find a weekend to hang out for a night and play a little.
~Kathleen

Temple said...

I didn't kiss Dave Roth! I am going to have a button made that says that for our reunion :)...

Temple said...

Robyn - if you go to the class of 88 events page on classmates there is an announcement there from Brandie about the 20th reunion and your brother can RSVP.
