I had a dream where I was transported back in time to when I was 19-years-old, but I remembered everything up until today. When Iw as 19 I was tall, very skinny, poorly dressed, had crooked teeth, low self esteem, was pretty lost at the University of Michigan, in the closet, miserable. If I could go back I'd certainly make some changes- go to the gym, get braces earlier, get a different haircut (just say no to "feathered back!"). I'd also save my money from my $2.65 an hour job and buy some Microsoft stock in 1983.
I am such a different person that I was in 1982-1983. I mean, totally different. Still tall, but now I have a bit of a belly. I dress for comfort (I could use some nicer clothes). Teeth= fixed. Self esteem much improved. No longer a follower. Very, very out. My hair is grown out and while many people have said they like it better that way, I hate waking up in the morning with it sticking up in a million unattractive ways. And I still don't have any fancy Microsoft stock (what was I thinking?).
And in other news, Henny Penny followed me around the yard this morning, seeing what I was doing. After I came inside she jumped up on the window sill and watched my mother doing her crossword puzzles. She doesn't need television when she can watch us through the windows.
Tonight, dinner with Sandy and Mummy at Rosa's!
