Wanna plan a reunion?

So...we are a year away from the reunion. We are looking for a planner. Hold up...I hear you and I know what you are thinking. Many of you have suggested that I step up and plan this sucker. Well unfortunately I won't do that for 3 reasons. (1) I don't mind helping out but I don't want to have to be responsible the night of the reunion. There. I admit it. I'd rather kick back and enjoy the evening with the rest of you guys. I have this horrible vision that the reunion person gets stuck after it's over helping to clean up or something while all of her (or his) buddies take off to carry on the party elsewhere. Nu-uh...I'll be following that party train where ever it might be going. Pfft. You know it! I'm also sure this is completely irrational and that really it's me just being immature and wanting to regress and partake in teenage like behavior. So be it. (2) Doesn't it make better sense for a local person to plan a high school reunion? I live in another state! A neighboring state...but still... Despite technology and the internet I'm still going to play that card. (3) My husband is not supportive of my taking on this project since we have plenty of other projects that I need to be focusing on. Usually he's a really supportive guy when it comes to "Temple stuff" but when I ran this by him...well, he had a point. There are a lot of things we need to tackle without this distracting all of my attention. Like last year when my mother-in-law accidentally pulled down our living room curtains and broke the rod - you would think that would have been handled by now but nope - I still need to get the curtains replaced. My bad. I also am in charge of the new area rugs that were supposed to help us keep our new carpet in good shape - instead I just keep having the carpets cleaned more often than we should be because it is insane what two toddlers and a dog can do to carpet that was way too light in color for our lifestyle. Again - my bad. It doesn't help that part of what has distracted me from this is party planning...I planned our annual holiday party, a big summer BBQ and backyard kickoff party...my oldest son's 4th bday party...and lots of smaller in between shindigs. I love planning parties! My husband knows this and his vote? Curtains and carpets my friends. I have enough that already distracts me from the more important matters in my chaotic life (like this blog for example) without planning our 20th year reunion.

Dang...you would think this is Tab typing this post! ;) Focus Temple...focus....long story short...

Anyway - any takers? Or do we have to get someone nice and schnockered at Shawn & Dave's party and get them to commit?

Anyone?
