I must be a very patient person, I mean I am still waiting after all these years for it to happen.
It is not winning the lotto or anything extraordinary like that, no I am actually waiting to grow up!
Yeah I know it sounds strange but my idea of been 'grown up' is not exactly matching the image I had of it as a teenager and well since that was way back in the last century - yikes, it is probably dated now.
Let me explain what my ideas were, well been a real self centred teenager like most teenagers my main concern was on my appearance, yeah forget saving the whales it was all about me! me! me! Apparently once grown up certain things would just fall into place like snowflakes falling gently to the ground - ah how poetic!
There would just be a 'light bulb' moment and I would just 'know' how to put on make up skillfully and look immaculate, it was a given because I would be 'grown up', socks would be a thing of the past because 'grown ups' wore tights - not pop socks which only go as far as your knees but evidently roll down to your ankles therefore should be called pop-ankle-socks, no honest-to-good tights that never laddered and just make your legs look fantastic. I would just 'know' how to dress perfectly, the latest styles would just look so good on me because yep you guessed it I would be 'grown up' and as for my hair well the shine from it could be used as a guiding light to airplanes in fog!! I would be a fantastic cook because I would just 'know' how to rustle up a 5 course meal without my hair loosing any shine or bounce (oh did I not mention the 'bounce' real important that!)
Life would be just so easy, nothing to worry about because obviousily been 'grown up' I would just know what to do and say at the right time.
So when exactly will this happen because so far nothing has fallen into place like I thought it would, putting on make up is basically hit and miss, yeah I can look like someone beat me up with the way I 'layer' it all or else the five year old in me goes wild and thinks Coco the clown look is so 'in'.
At the moment for me tights are only worn for weddings, funerals and job interviews - preferably not all on the same day but I can rarely find them because I think all my socks have eaten them or else thrown them out of the sock drawer - yes still have a sock drawer!!
Fashion, have heard of it, sometimes followed it (leg warmers anyone?) but my body seems to fight again it so clothes shopping can be a nightmare as head goes "oh that looks really pretty" and body goes "seriousily keep walking" or head says "now that will be gorgeous on me" and body goes "as if!!" So instead of looking like someone having a fit in the dressing rooms I have for the moment decided to tell the head 'shush!'
Now hair, mmm, tricky one that, basically after getting it done I need to sleep sitting up so it looks gorgeous and not like an owl's nest and since I must have no will power or else I like sleeping so the airplanes will just remain lost!
Cooking, I know that one, it is done in the kitchen - enough said!!!
So you see not exactly 'grown up' yet, but as I said I must be a patient person or a very optimistic person because surely the 'light bulb' moment is only round the corner so watch out you may actually walk past me because you won't recognise the 'grown up' me as I will be just fabulous!!
Or else you are avoiding me because Coco the clown has broken out again!!!
Ah well stay tuned any day now.............
