What’s my age again?

I’m confused about my age. I am horrified at my aging.

When did I become an… ADULT? I actually hate that word. It’s creepy. I remember the day that I discovered I didn’t like it. Heather and I were living in Las Vegas. Living there, we had become accustomed to seeing things like advertisements for “Adult Stores” an “Adult Movies”. Everything gross and pornographic had the word “adult” attached to it. One day, Heather and I were grocery shopping at Food 4 Less (not our usual shopping spot, I don’t know why we were there) and I wanted to get a box of Honey Bunches of Oats. I was scanning the aisles and I found it… “ADULT CEREAL” It left me with a bad taste in my mouth.

Anyways…not what I wanted to blog about, getting to the point.

I thought that being a grown-up(much better word choice) would feel different somehow. I thought that by now I should be listening to jazz music, eating sushi, discussing my 401k, and argue about philosophy with all of my pantsuit friends. (Clearly things that grown-ups do). But no… I talk about teenage vampires, eat hot dogs, and listen to pop music. I’m actually watching Harry Potter as I blog right now, on my pink laptop.

I’m not really ashamed of this. It’s just different than what I expected.

On that note, here are some pictures of my immature happenings. Enjoy!


In the battle of vampires vs. werewolves, let there be no confusion as to what team I am on. This was taken the night of our double feature. Just days before Eclipse came out.


This was taken at the theater for the midnight showing of Eclipse! (Our shirts say Newborn Army)
Tess and I at our "Broadway Bodies" Dance class....

Tess, Amber and I dressed up for a Roaring 20's Murder Mystery Dinner
Bananagrams! This is my most favorite game... EVER! I'm completely obsessed with this game. It's so much fun! This was one of my favorite rounds (for obvious reasons)





I just realized I never blogged about my Paris trip! Well this is me doing the can-can outside of the Moulin Rouge.

In front of the Eiffel Tower

Victor Hugo makes me suspicious...

Love it. Who says we need to grow up anyway? And btw, I was totally having this convo in my head the other day when I kinda felt silly about DVR-ing Hannah Montana, singing along to Selena Gomez and watching teenager tv shows on ABC family.
Oh well. :)

It does seem as though we are stuck at a certain age and mine is not the 'adult' age, but I'm sure glad I can put on a show of being grown up when I need to. I miss being young together and wish you were here!

Thank you for being you and allowing me to justify my un-grown-up behavior too. I love you in that "MY BEST FRIEND AND ME ARE AWESOME" way that i think most people lose on the playgroun. BTW. Let's go and find some swings later this week. Carroll Park anyone?
