too adult for 23.

this is my late Merry Christmas and early Happy New Years wish for all ya'll. hope it was very merry!

last week or so was a very adult-like week for me. i feel old about 95% of the week anyways, but last week was the rare exception of feeling 100% old- or adult. here is why:

*about a week ago i paid off a pesty loAn. i feel poor but great at the same time.

*Early in the week i haD to close out my 401(k) and roll over the account into an IRA account. i also had to get 4 new tires... dah..

*Then I sent oUt Christmas cards. i didnt include a picture of me with a pet, a significant other, or my children that i dont have.  i thought it would be silly to take a profile picture of just myself - like in glamour shots...regardless i thought it would be nice...

*Later in the week I applied for a credit card... ugh the day has come.. i have ignored this for so long and now i have come to the point where a credit card would make my Life easier.

*Then to top it all off, for Christmas i got [and in which i asked for] a crock pot, a Toaster oven, and a george forman.

it not only spells adult, but it screams it.  and not only was i hit up with those 5 adult-like incidents, i was smacked in the face by boring ol me last night.

i cleaned and unpacked all day yesterday. then i went shopping for my pot roast ingredients - because i have a crock pot now ladies and gents. and let me tell you what... i make a mean one [and may have been looking forward to making this for weeks...] so i took a gander to meijer [another thing that makes me old... i use words like "gander" and "crimany"]. on my list of things to get were:

• pot roast, carrots, celery, beef broth, potatoes
• milk, bread
• chips, salsa

• knee highs
• humidifier filter
• nails [like for the wall]
• scope
• stamps
• lip stick

okay now let's analyze this. 

A) Knee-Highs- i was way too excited for new knee highs. plain and simple. but i guess its the little things that get me excited. 

B) Humidifier Filter- its a proven fact that the winter months are my worst. i require oatmeal baths, non-scented shower gel, lots of lotion and a high quality humidifier to survive. might as well throw in some depends and call it a day. 

C) Nails- well thats not too boring, i needed to hang some pictures. 

D) Scope- my dentist said that i needed to use more mouth wash and floss more and not brush so hard or my teeth will fall out. thats enough to frighten a gal like me. so im using scope. a big bottle. 

E) Stamps- i used all my stamps for my Christmas cards and well... Consumers Energy needed to be paid this month. 

F) Lip stick? am i really moving away from shiny lip gloss that makes my lips look like they are about to slide off my face? ugh im old...

la ta di da.. im too adult for 23.
