Saturday night was my 30th high school reunion. Well, to be honest, it was a fiftieth birthday party for our classmates- and we just called a reunion. (Although I’m only 40. I was brilliant and my parents had me skip MANY grades. Like 10.)
Now, before I go on with this story I want to let you all know that Tightwad has never read my blog. Never. NEVER!! He knows I HAVE one, and I talk about it and try to convince him that several people are reading it, and he just laughs at me as he cleans his hunting guns and sharpens his tools.
On with the story...
We entered the large pavilion and were greeted by many classmates. (Tightwad graduated a year after me, but was WELL KNOWN by everyone, as we were high school sweeties.)
My very, very good friend Elaine ran up to me and gave me a huge hug.
“Vodkamom!!” she said. After a huge hug she turned to my hubby, and declared, “Tightwad!!”
“Tightwad?” He replied. Then he turned his head to me and yelled, “Tightwad???? TIGHTWAD??? You named me TIGHTWAD??”
And at that point I turned tail, ran for the bar and haven’t been seen since.
Hide me.

GORGEOUS NEW BLOG!!!!!!! YAY!!!!!!!!
Oh, shit. That's funny!!
And Tightwad? Well, honey, that was BOUND to happen,....
And THAT, my dear Vodka Mom, is why they have divorce attorneys.
Oh yeah... love your new look.
You are soooooo funny! AND you sweetly tell the truth, even about the painful stuff.
The perfect blend, VodkaMom!
From your newest fan and high school classmate!
ROFL!
Haha, that woulda been great to witness in person.
I play it safe and just call mine "Hubby." He occasionally reads mine, he doesn't believe I actually have followers either, although I have nothing like what you have, lol.
yeah, I mean that is better than loose wad....
I'd be careful from now on with those tools and guns in the house.
LOL! I love your new blog!
My husband actually read my blog at work one day, and came home with insights and suggestions.
He said that "I make myself look better than I really am" in my postings...well of course I do, it's MY blog!
You might find that a little more interest will be taken in your blog now!
HaHa too funny. Big Chocolate, AKA Big Daddy Dub Dub won't read my blog either but that's a good thing :)~
Love the new digs!
Very funny story!
Was it an OPEN BAR? He now has a reputation to live down too. :-)
My 25th is in a few weeks. Luck will be needed.
I have a spare room if you need to run away to England for a while!
LOL. That made me laugh like you can't imagine. I saw it in my hand
ahem. I meant head*
Perhaps if you added "Manly" to Tightwad it might help.
i love the new look, it's pretty awesome.
Thanks, I need that laugh this morninig;)
A new look! Purty!
My hubs was my ONLY reader for months and months. He is still a pretty faithful reader (although a RARE commenter).
Yeah, you don't get many 'bitching about my husband' posts on my blog because of it. And sometimes I'd really like to do one or two of those...
HAHAH! I know someone that can get you into the witness protection program.
I found out that Josh actually reads mine too - he likes to make snide comments like, "Little Debbie, huh? I suppose you brought her to the gym?" Then, I pretend like the internet went down and hang up on him on skype.
Moral of the story: move to another country.
Oh that is so rich. I love it. I just hope and pray that my hubby doesn't have the sense to figure out how to find my blog...being so computer illiterate and all. But just in case I don't write about him anymore. Whew.
So had many vodkas was that?
Oohh. That's a good one! I call my husband by the name of the company he works for. He is a supervisor and sometimes forgets, just for a moment, that I don't work for him. Drives him nuts! So much fun.
I'm pretty sure "Loosewad" wouldn't have been better; I'm just sayin'.
BTW - I always try to convince my (cough) 40 (cough) year old co-workers that they're only 38...in a base 14 number system.
This is freaky...Went to my husband's 35th reunion on Saturday, where HE learned of my secret life.
The whole thing turned him on and I was just spilling over with love and a desire to share with him my blog.
I made the fatal mistake of asking him what thought of my writing( Do these pants make me look fat?)... he said he just wasn't that into it.
Worst answer....EVER!
Peace -Rene
Truth hurts!
BTW - Love the new look.
OMGoodness Hilarious, YOU can bet now he will be reading and playing catch up...right after he wakes up from passing out after seeing how many people are reading you..LOL
The paged does look good :-)
Hilarious! Funny how some things we do come back to bite us in the butt, isn't it??? Well, isn't it????? Your are laughing about it... aren't you??? LOL
Di
The Blue Ridge Gal
LMAO! Can just picture the look on his face... which is really hard to do since I have no idea what he looks like!
LOVE the new banner!
Of course now I have to ask.... does Bitchy know you named her Bitchy?
;-)
Well at least you gave him a name that can be pronounced. I have to refer to my husband as HWNSNBP - He Whose Name Shall Not Be Published. He's a Pisces so the dual personality fits.
Love the new look. p.s.
Your blog is looking... svelte! Yes, that was the impression I popped over this morning.
See, I try to tell DH to keep with what I'm saying in the blog so that he doesn't get any, um surprises. And you? You're just lucky he read it at the reunion where he was far away from his hunting guns...
Shit, you're not coming here. He has guns and sharp tools. And a motive.
Isn't that what reunions are for? To have all the embarrassing things come back to the surface and haunt us more?!
Thanks for the post. Great fun.
:-)
Hehe. Tightwad..
I haven't been brave enough to attend any class reu..uh. birthday parties. Honestly, I'm afraid of the awkward, "oh hi.. you. Sure I remember. You were the one in that class - the one with the teacher with the chalk and the sweat stains and stuff. OK. Nice chatting with you. Before you go, could you pass me the malt liquor? Yeah. Thanks. You're a peach."
It's me, the infamous ELAINE who had the proverbial "slip of the tongue!" Vodkamom should have added that few people could have gotten away with this as well as I did . . Tightwad and I go the whole way back to the high school days!!! I am privileged to have both of them as very dear friends.
And he doesn't know you shot him a few months back????
Ha, Tightwad's better than what you could have paired with Tight;)
And I lurve your new blog look!!
aww f*** him if he can't take a joke! (kidding!!!)
smiles, bee
xoxoxoxxoxoxoxox
am i in the right place? it sounds familiar but doesn't look familiar. ps
I never call my wife names... I can't spend all my nights with one eye open....
This blog was the perfect start to my morning!!
I like the new look! And it serves him right for not reading your blog. SO there.
Too funny!! I could have named Mr. as Tightwad, too. Or maybe Mr. Tightwad! You know the song from the musical Chicago--"He Had It Coming"???? Well, Tightwad had it coming! I love the change in blog.
OMG that's hysterical! And I love your new blog look! It's awesome!
My husband won't read my blog either. He thinks it's my diary.
Well, out of 900 followers, one was bound to spill it.
Like the clean new look.
Love the new header. Love the story even better. That made me snort! LOL!
That's hysterical - you had to know it was going to happen eventually!
Maybe you can convince him that the name is really a good thing? Yeah, not so much.
I'm glad he will be playing catch up now... Hi there, Mr. VM. :-)
How was the reunion??
Men have nooooo sense of humor!!!
Ah! I remember when my kids found out about my old blog. They wanted to pick their own pseudonyms. I wonder what Tightwad would name himself?
Gorgeous new look.
Just tell him you are the Buddha, helping him with his enlightenment.
Interesting...
M gives me $20 a week, whether I need it or not and enough chores/projects to make sure I have no time to spend it.
How does he get away with not reading (worshiping at your feet) your blog (daily map of life as God intended it)?
What is the cunning power this so called TW (another man desperately clinging to the delusion that he in fact is in control) has that suggest he has $ to be tight with?
TW isn’t such a bad name, he is welcome to some of the ones I have been stuck with over the years!
Great story VM!
Craig
Bwahahahahaha. Well, I'd do the very same thing. I really would. That's what I know him as. Bwahahahahaha.
Have a terrific day. Big hug. :)
Hahahaha! Coffee just came out of my nose!
I liked your previous whatjacallit (banner, header?) better. The new one is pretty and I like the simplicity of it, but it just hurts to look at through the headache. So maybe I'll wait 'til evening to check in on you.
Well now...maybe he will believe you when you say you have a few followers here on the this little blog thing that you do.
HA!
VM, can't believe you had time to redecorate the blog AND attend the reunion.
PS...I've told you about your bad family naming practices. Add royal stuff to their names and no one can complain. BTW, I think Tightwad and King Rufus might be brothers.
Tool Man has never read my blog, either. I wonder if I should rectify that or just let it go. The nickname could go either way, really!
Whoopsie!
Do you want to borrow "The Rock" moniker for "Tightwad?"
Tightwad might like that name better.
p.s. Love the new look, you hot thing you!
The blog - she is gorgeous!!!!!!!!!
NapWarden did my new design too - isn't she awesome?
This is hilarious btw - he didn't know his name was Tightwad?? That's too funny. (My daughter used to call my husband Nip Cheese - also a good one.)
hey, quick! over here!
of course we will hide you. does he realize you are standing behind hundreds/thousands of people...
Tell him Tightwad means tight...uh, you know...wad. Like PHAT means good, cool, hip, happening. haha.
I called me husband a "Zero" for years to my friends...because he never talks. It slipped one night when a group of people said, "He's not a ZERO!"
And I got the look.
Love it! My problem? My hubs would love the nickname. That tightwad. Unless it is bike parts, golf clubs or another manly tool.

Whoa. I got disoriented by the new look. Thought I was lost!
My MIL has to tell my husband to take a crowbar to his wallet once in a while, so the name "Tightwad" would be apropos.
I'll hide you but you are going to have to wash my pants because I just about peed myself laughing at this post. :-)
Hey, Vodka Mom, I think yours would be a great blog for Quinn Cummings to visit on her blog tour for her book, NOTES FROM THE UNDERWIRE. I've passed your contact info on to Quinn, so if you hear from her, that's why!
Here are a few other blogs she's visited, and her inaugural visit to mine.
You rock!
VM, Quinn tells me she got in touch with you yesterday - I'll just say Great minds work alike.
Wowee wow wow! Great look!
No WAY it was your 20th reunion. You must have been hanging out with the big kids or something...
I am SO GLAD I didn't create nicknames for my family, now. I can't imagine what I would have named Patrick... Yikers.
Can't wait to meet you. ps
Nice! Tell him that if he loosens up a bit you'll consider changing it.
OUCH! lol That was better left unsaid I feel lol
"Tightwad" is a very small town in Missouri. I have seen that sign many times. Where did you get that picture??
Very cool blog story.
Phil
That's so hilarious!!!!
I just have to say to this.
LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Great looking blog redo.
Have a nice day.
:)
Caught! Tell him is an affectionate term.
Two days ago Hubster said he wants to start reading my blog. The horror!! I told him no, even though I barely put him on the blog. It mines dammit! Yesterday, I was very tempted to test if he'd started reading it behind my back by posting about his nude workout sessions, but I wimped out.
LOVE the new layout!! Blue is my favorite color next to black, which isn't a color ... so they say.
Um, oops?
So's he going to start reading, now?
Love your new blog look.
Oh? Was i supposed to comment on the post?
Can you tell I just came from Stoneskin's?
And Tightwad? Serves him right. My hubs does not read my blog either. But his sister does. Last week I mentioned how he barely knows how to use a toolbelt and is not handy around the house.
Yesterday, he fixed three things, then looked at me and said, "See, I'm handyman when I want to be."
I think his sister is ratting me out.
But if it means he starts fixing things....
THAT is hilarious!
It's better than d*ckwad, right?
Love the new look.
Tightwad is so much better than arschloch! :) Too funny.
Hahaha, oops! I can't believe he didn't know! That's hilarious!
You just can win can you?? Can'r post real names.. can't post names that fit the person... sigh what's a VM to do?? Drink more I guess. Tell hime to biute you.. sounds like the truth hurts!
LOVE the new template.
*can't win
So let me get this straight. You went to a high school reunion and MADE PEOPLE FOLLOW YOU? Is it because you dont have ENOUGH already?
Love the new blog look.
Good Lord, I can't figure out the tabs.
You didn't tell him that that was a sign of affection, a term of endearment?
I like the new look of your blog!
Love the new blog look! You're stylin'! ;)
Way too funny! I try to get hubby interested in my blog (though not very hard because then it might limit when I might need to vent about him in particular)... It should be interesting if we run into anyone who reads my blog and refers to him as 'Hovering Hubby'... ;) You find the hiding place, I'll bring the vodka. ;)
Ooops! I hope Tightwad has lightened up by now.
The blog looks great!
Reason #348 why my ex knows nothing about my blog. He would not be happy about being referred to as "The Mistake Heard Round The World".
Hey wait! are you me? I have a 30 yr reunion coming up. MHS is known by all my classmates because he was a year older and we were also high school sweethearts. But he knows that I call him a JackAss on my blog occasionally. LOL
Love the new look!
Um, all things considered he should be thankful that you named him Tightwad versus something else...
Cracking-Me-Up...that is very similar to the reaction my husband had when I 'featured' him in a post I called - MAN SICK! It's worth it - totally- I still giggle when I watch the video.
Fancy Schmancy new look! I LOVE it!
Hey Tightwad...how 'bout throwing her a bone (no...not that kind of bone, you horndog) every once in a while? Maybe she'll change your name?
xoxo
Ooops!
My husband knows about my blog but he hates to read. Thus, he rarely stops by.
I am still laughing!!!
LMAO, that is GREAT!!! Classic.....
LMAO, that is GREAT!!! Classic.....
I needed a good laugh today and I'm so glad you provided it. That's hysterical. Tell him there are too many witnesses now to do anything about it ;)
It could have been a worse name!
I love the new look. You are just styling now!
By the way, we do have an extra bedroom. And a bar.
Any time you need.
Tell old Tightwad not to fret. Doesn't he know frugal is the new sexy?
I nearly choked on my ice cream! Classic... thanks for the laugh! Hope you had fun at your reunion.
Still Laughing. Can.Not.Stop!!!
heh. Well, my roommate reads my blog on occasion and hates EVERYTHING I say about him. If he weren't such an ass, it would be cause for me to apologize. Unfortunately, I actually only include the NICER things and he should be thanking me.
OK, that is funny! Love the new look of your page!
High School reunion? Time to make like an alcoholic and drown the sorrows in a drink.
Serves him right for not taking an interest in your blog! Besides, it could've been worse...
L.O.L! :o) Come and hide in my basement. We'll have a martini or something ;o)
LOVE the new look!
And you can come stay in my guest room anytime :-)
Too funny. Love your blog, chick. Met you through Deb at Web-Savvy Mom. You are HI-larious. Thanks for sharing.
He deserved it! He should read your blog every day and tell you what a wonderful writer you are! Heartless tightwad!
Malisa
You need anymore vodka while in Hiding? Where shall i send it.
xx
I laughed so hard I had tears in my eyes! He should have read the blog before the reunion......

You call 'em like you see 'em.
Well, that's what he gets for not doing his homework. And for being a tightwad.
