Dear old schoolfriend

*sigh* I have no words…really.  I’ve been increasingly annoyed with the fact that i had to organize the reunion…but today you managed to step on my very last nerve.  To give you some background…the official reunion invite contained (very clearly in fact) the date, the time, the venue, the costs involved.

Then today i get a call from you…..the conversation went as follows:

Old Schoolfriend(OS): Hey Ruby! How are you?
Ruby: Oh hi Old Schoolfriend…I’m all good thanks, how’s you?
OS: I’m good…looking forward to Saturday and stuff.
Ruby: Ja, me too…It’s going to be really cool to see everyone again.
OS: About the reunion, I’d just like to check one or two things with you.
Ruby: Oh sure, no problem.  What’s up? (Please note…here my courage fails me…I’ve had a whole range of stupid questions the last couple of weeks…i was expecting another)
OS:  I’ve got the invite open on the computer and I just wanted to know if any of the arrangements changed?
Ruby:  Nope, everything stays exactly the same where arrangements are concerned.  The only thing that changed is the food…but you don’t have to worry about it.
OS: OK cool…so I’m wondering…what time is the reunion?
Ruby: *thinks….WHAT THE HELL…you’re looking at the invite* Do you have the invite in front of you?
OS: Yes
Ruby: What does it say?
OS: It says it’s three o’clock
Ruby: so which part of ‘none of the arrangements have changed’ didn’t you understand?
OS: So what are you telling me…it’s not at 3?
Ruby: *sighing audibly* it’s at 3.

Now do you understand why I’m convinced all the stupid people in the world are ganging up on me this week?

Dear readers

So it’s time for one of my favourite regular blog entries:)  I’ll finish a couple of sentences and then you can finish them in my comments section.

People….will believe what they want to believe and no matter what you say you won’t be able to convince them otherwise

It’s better to….sort issues out directly….hashing, rehashing and indirect methods are bound to end in bigger issues

Sometimes.…spending a Sunday morning in the sun having a picnic with people who make you laugh is worth offering up some study time.  I was way more productive afterwards anyway:)

Exercise…..is not always fun but it’s an amazing way to clear your head

Currently listening to…….The Inside…by Def Leppard

I’ve learned…….that being patient is the best way to deal with a lot of things

There are times….when all you need to soothe your soul is good company

Now off you go my lovelies.  Your turn:)

Love
Ruby

P.S. Don’t forget about my little pet project.  Please send me your secrets:)
