Bad Grown-up

I spent over $300 on myself this weekend.  #theseasonofgiving

I didn't even look at my account balance.  I messaged a friend, "I'm a bad grown-up!"

He messaged back:  "Maybe... But you're a fun person!"

(so I put these pics from the last 9 days together)

Like a grown up

Bad cramps, 6 Advil, freezing outside, 5 hours of sleep: Still at the gym. *even though it is the last thing I want to be doing.

Grown Up Toys!!

WE ARE ALL STARS HERE!

I got my first adult (=expensive and full of functions) HEADLAMP! Of course, from a parent. :-)

I was trying to put batteries in and couldn't find the opening, I googled it, found this video review (3 year old version). It's good . My lamp is awesome.

Grown ups struggle sharing feelings

"...and I'm so tired now, I picked up some cold in all that, and I just want to curl up with a romantic comedy and a pizza and sleep forever." - me, in a text to a friend.

I wanted to add "with you"

But I'm scared what he would say.

(Or not say)

Thing that won't get my mouth washed out with soap

Conversation with my friend:

Fun-der wear

I bought a big pack of cheap underwear so I didn't have to do laundry.

Yeah! THAT IS WHY I'M A GROWN-UP!

(there are no photos...yet)

It's NOT a "lifestyle" change

Day 1 of diet number 3894...

I return home from work & doctor visit hungrier than I remember being. Ever. Still left on today's food allotment: all the "good" stuff. Yay me!

Also: I have big plans for my body, so I am dieting- not lifestyle changing. And after my plans- I'm eating all the things again!

Grown ups have clean sheets!

*CHANGE SHEETS HALF AS OFTEN WITH THIS LIFE HACK*

I had stopped using the flat, top sheet as an adult, just making my bed with the fitted bottom sheet and my comforter.  Years ago when my leg was broken, my wonderful cousins did my laundry and made my bed with both the bottom and top sheets.

I didn't want to undo their work and was tired enough to just crawl in bed- ON TOP OF THE TOP SHEET!!

See where I'm going with this?

Make your bed with both sheets. Sleep on top of the top sheet, when it's dirty or time, whatever, take the top sheet off and sleep on the clean bottom sheet!

*Adult with clean sheets here!!

STOP!!

I often have a plan or idea (or ideal). I like when my plans are awesome and work out perfectly.

BUT

I love being able to stop.

Being a grown up means we can change plans- MID PLAN! Not what you wanted? Try something else!

Sometimes I Just Want My Mom

Even as an adult, and being awesome a lot of the times, sometimes I just want my mommy.

But I got back on my bike and rode in the  Dead Baby Downhill, 

did two shots of tequila, and went home to two ice packs.

I stay up TOO late!

I go do things without any plans and stay up 2 hours past my "bedtime" because I'm an ADULT:  flocking to Macklemore's video shoot with EVERYONE ELSE!!
<3

I totally forgot!!

No one will yell at me if I forget to do chores. I actively choose not to do them... Tonight I'm doing things that aren't chores ;-)

Not related, today someone called me their "good time gal" <3

"Hack"

I want to tell people that leaving a computer/phone logged into a profile is not "hacking" it. Your friends/ co-workers/ family are not hacking your shit. They are walking up to it...

Insurance like an adult.

I just called my insurance company, "so I bought a gun, does that change anything?" 

"Nope." 

Me: "What if I accidentally shoot someone?" 

"It'll be covered." 

Me: *giggle* *gasp* "I don't plan on shooting anyone! I was just wondering how this all works..."

Asking for what you want: Booty.

2 days ago I walked up to a pirate statue and was going to take a picture with it...  This Pirate guy walks up and says they are here with props and taking photos for donations to the food bank.  I LOVE FOOD!! I donate.  He started to pose facing me, I said, "I WANT BOOTY!!"  And he turned around.

I'm gonna eat it raw

I woke up craving cookie dough and milk... When I got home I cut off a chunk. And then cut the tube into snack sized chunks! I don't know why I never did this before.

more stuff in baths

I want to find a harmonica holder, or maybe a high school marching band neck music holder, and have it hold my iPhone.

Not all the time, just when I'm too lazy to hold it. Like in the bath. My arms want to relax too, man.

What did I just say?!

I just twitter flirted to @Nathan Fillion. While I try to not stalk or make eye contact with my real life in person crush... But guess who I'll be thinking about later... While I eat fudgecicles in bed!

dinner

Dinner tonight is half a honeydew mellon and some BCAA's.  Because I started back at the gym this week and my legs need it.  And half a pint of Ben & Jerry's.  In bed.

Forgetfulness.

Last week I bought a battery pack/ charger for my new iPhone on Woot.com; yesterday a package arrived, I was so excited to get the extra portable juice, I opened that box and found something else...

I'm a grown-up so I can forget all the thing I spent money on.

"You're like a kid that can drive." -a kid

That's right Kid.  I also have money.  What do you want to buy?

"I've never had anyone say that to me before." -Kid, with stars in his eyes

Blow their minds: this is why I'm a grown-up.
