“Not That Kind of Girl”

[americasuitehearts]

sometimes i wish i had more feminine adult figures in my life. like, i love my mom, but she’s not a very girly person. she never wears her hair down, she dresses in jeans and t-shirts at almost any event, and i know more about makeup than she does. there’s nothing wrong with that, but sometimes i wish i had that girly woman to look up to, to teach me stuff. today, im spending the night at my grandpa’s house bcuz i help cook all of thanksgiving dinner (yes, we do thanksgiving on sunday instead of thursday), so of course im hanging around my grandpa’s wife. she and my grandpa have been married since before i was born, so it’s not like i don’t know her. but, she’s never really been a strong “grandmother” to me. she’s more reserved; she doesn’t do a bunch of family stuff and would rather stay at home with her cat and a bottle of wine (what a real one). anyways, randomly she’ll decide to have some bonding moment with me, and it’s pretty awesome. i’ve got thick hair with natural highlights, and she adores it. she’ll randomly sit me down and straighten my hair and stuff. idk, it just feels nice to have someone compliment me based on my appearance. one time, she brought me to her pilates class and we got breakfast after, and it was fun as hell. two summers ago, she took me on this little shopping spree for back to school clothes. its nice to shop with someone who actually cares about fashion and how they look. it’s rare, maybe two or three times a year, but i really like spending time with her. i feel like the rest of my family disregards her as the snooty, rich, wife of my grandpa, but she’s actually really nice. sometimes i wish i had someone like that in my life regularly. anyways, that was my rant. happy thanksgiving to whoever celebrate XD
