Long time no see - care to buy from me?

I am a few years away from my 20th reunion for high school and my 15th for university. Every time I get near one of the major milestones, I get emails from long lost friends and/or boyfriends. It's always fun to catch up with people...to see where and how they ended up.

I just got an email from one of my sorority pledge class sisters that I haven't heard from since our senior year in college. I'm frankly surprised she even remembers me, because our senior year we both started dating boys from different social groups and pretty much lost touch. I knew she was engaged when I left college, but so were half of the other girls I knew at that time and some got hitched and some got ditched. But with her, I'm not surprised she is married to him and that they have babies.

But I have a question, and maybe I'm just incredibly cynical these days...but she sells make up/skin care products. Which is fine, but in her reply back to my reply she mentions wanting to talk with me about it. So, was she really writing me to catch up or was she going through the alumni directory looking to expand her business? I know, I know! I'm cynical! I'm jumping to conclusions. Maybe she's thinking, great to catch up - but great if I can make a sale too?

Oh well, I'm not a fan of their products and if I was there are at least 3 women I know locally that I could buy from...so we'll see if she keeps in touch.
