Woke up Saturday morning with a hunger in my belly. I walked to the little grocery store only to find they were out of English Muffins! The nerve! So I walked to Dunkin’ Donuts and bought 6 bagels for 4.99 and a tub of cream cheese for 2.99. Back at the Donnavilla, I brewed coffee and poached an egg and toasted a bagel. It was a very tasty meal.

Rob and I went to my High School this afternoon. My old High School puts on a very different prom than most. Instead of renting a hall, the kids decorate the school. It’s insane the work that goes into it. The afternoon of the prom, the doors open and everyone is welcome in to see how it looks. It was really wonderful. The theme this year is Under the Boardwalk and the school looked fantastic! I can’t help but reminisce over my old prom. I remember asking 4 different guys to take me. The first three, who believe me were not out of my league, refused. (I remember one of them said, “I wouldn’t take you.” I didn’t let it get me down and I kept hunting and finally the fourth one said, “Only if you pay your way.” Ka-CHING! I got me a date, MA! Looking back, I don’t know what made me so repellent but I am proud of my tenacity. I wanted so badly to go to the prom and I was going to go even if I had to get a relative to take me. As it is, I went to my prom and I remember having a very nice time. Was it the magical experience I had imagined? No. But at least I experienced it, and ultimately that is really all I wanted.
