Sometimes, Classmates.com comes up with a real gem. Sometimes. Now, there is no way in hell that I want to be found by most of the people that I went to high school with--though, if they really want to get ahold of me, they can send me email through the site. Note that no one has yet, so I guess that's saying something. Ha!
Anyway, mostly, I've been using Classmates to find people that I used to be very close to, but have fallen out of touch with for various reasons. Two of those were childhood best friends, Shawnie and Scott, and one of those was just yesterday--my stepdad's girlfriend after he and my mom divorced.
Most of you have probably heard me talk about Paula at one point or another. If you've ever heard me say, "Tits on a Ritz!"...that's Paula.
I was actually looking for her daughter, but found her instead, and was just thrilled. Sent her an email through Classmates, and got a floored and excited reply back late last night/early this morning. I was so excited about *that* that I had to call my mother at work.
Paula was--is, I'm sure--quite, quite awesome. We all loved her to death, she was one of the best things that happened to us as kids. It's so cool to have found her again, and to find that she's as happy to hear from us as we were to find her.
