Back-Dated

Dec 29, 2007 15:27

I've been at my mum's house in Hervey Bay since the 21st and I'm kind of homesick. The original plan was for me to return to Brisbane on Monday (31st) but we've been discussing having me stay one extra day and drive home on New Year's Day. I'm in two minds on this because although I'm missing my room and especially my computer, I haven't spent as much time as I'd like with mum because of her work schedule.

Mum's at work right now, we went to her parent's house for morning tea this morning and grandma gave me my birthday gift in advance to save on postage. Hopefully I'll remember that I have it on my birthday as I wasn't expecting to be unwrapping any gifts on that day. I've read the card attached to the parcel and I felt very odd reading "with heaps of love for your 20th". Twenty? Surely not. I'm not sure how comfortable I am with the thought of leaving teenhood behind. It's not that I think I'm lacking in maturity, it's just that I'm so used to and comfortable with been a teen. Gosh, less than a month left to star in Teens XXX or something of the sort, har har har. I guess I kind of feel this way every birthday, especially as they seem to come with increasing speed each year, but I'll never be a teenager again. It seems stranger even, than reaching my majority - you may be an adult but at least there's still a couple of years to be a teen. Well, I guess those couple of years have passed now.

My diet's been going quite well while I've been here. I'm looking forward to next Wednesday's weigh-in to see how much I've managed to lose over the christmas break. It's nice to think about losing weight over such a food-filled break. Weight Watchers has been so great so far and I'm so glad I signed up. Definitely worth the money.
