Dear Mom

Wednesday 16 August 2006

I think you might have made a mistake about when I was born. Forty always sounded like such a big number, but I really don't feeeeeel old. Admittedly, I don't feel the same way about going out drinking as I did in my twenties, and I definitely don't feel the same way about the 2 to 3 day hangovers that I would get if I did go out drinking, but that just comes with maturity, right? Am I becoming mature? Or am I really actually old and don't realize it? These are some photos taken the other night when I tried for the first time to be the former Bev rather than the sleep-deprived, home-bound mother that I've been for the last year. Please tell me that I'm just rediscovering my true inner self, and not that I am in actuality just a pathetic middle-aged woman trying to remember what it was like to have fun!


PS: I also think you are mistaken about your age - you MUST be at least 10 years younger than you are claiming!

From the other one - you aren't old. I am not old, so I don't see how you can be. Grandad is now old, but he is 92 after all! So you have a long way to go. However, there will be days when YOU feel 92 but that is normal. Glad you can still party. love from Mum

How can you be getting "old" when you feel so young. I don't feel "old" - certainly not old enough to be collecting social security in another six months!
Keep having fun and stay "young"!!
Mom
