Growing Up

Six Ways I’ve Matured Recently:

1. I invested in a good under eye cream that is supposed to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

2. My 401(k) and flexible spending accounts have received about ten minutes of attention this week, versus their normal zero.

3. Not only do I have a day of the week pill bottle, I have two- one for the morning and one for the night.

4. I keep a diaper at all times in my purse.  To clarify, this is for my daughter and it is an unused one.

5. 10:00pm is the new 1:00am.

6.  Six beers is the new two beers.
Six Ways I Haven’t:

1. I still laugh my ass off with my friends at things that definitely are nowhere near appropriate for other human eyes.

2. I still need to rationalize to myself that it’s more important to pay down debt than buy these cute Rebecca Minkoff cheetah print ankle boots that have been calling my name for WEEKS.

3.  I look at my phone as many times a day as the average teenager.

4. I’m often afraid to say no to someone, because I don’t want to seem incapable.

5. It still hasn’t hit me, after months and months, that trying to get my daughter and I out the door in the morning on a very tight schedule means I can’t hit snooze.  At all.

6. I hardly use that under eye cream I got.  Maybe next year?
