So now I am OFFICIALLY 16 years old :)
I was supposed to go to Sea Worl this morning with Mom and my sister, but my sister is sick. So Dad told me to just sleep in as late as I wanted to, and just watch tv and relax until we started to get ready for the party.
On any normal day, I can easily sleep until 11 or maybe noon.
Not today.
I went to a concert last night at House of Blues. But when I got back, I wasn't really tired yet. So I stayed up until 1. Usually when I stay up until 1am, I don't wake up until at least 10am.
Again, not today.
I woke up at 5AM! 5am! And then I couldn't get back to sleep. I tried flipping my body so my head would be at the foot of the bed, because that usually works. No.
I changed into comfier pajamas. No.
I got myself a glass of milk. No.
I took a shower. Not quite. But it helped.
Eventually I fell back to sleep.
And then woke up at 9am to my cat jumping upo into bed and my dad coming in to say "Happy birthday!".
Me- *groan* Thank you, daddy.
So, defeated, I got up. Made myself breakfast, and watched tv.
It's now only 10:42.
My party doesn't start until 8pm.
But I am excited for my party.
It should be really great :)
But I think I've been asked by 18 different people "What's your address again?" or "What do you mean by 'get dressed up'?"
And then about 4 people have complained about getting dressed nicely.
I asked Lidia to just bitch at those people when they arrive in shorts and a tank top. And then they MUST wear a cone party hat and a bow tie (provided by Lidia). >:D
AND! Last night on the way back from the concert, I was able to drive on the expressway for the first time. And (quite obviously) I DIDN'T DIE!
SO proud in myself!
So today will be a good Sweet 16.
