One more year of the Roarin' 20s....

Thoughts on turning 29.....

1. I still feel like I should be 24.

2. Apparently, so do a bunch of high school students. During 2 seperate presentations in Bmore last week, I was asked if I was a junior or senior at the University I work for. I'm understanding more and more that I need to relish those comments before it's too late!

3. Sometimes I actually feel much older, like when I can't keep my eyes open at 10:30. I swear, back in the day, I could stay up until 3 a.m. and function perfectly fine on 4 hours of sleep!

4. As scary as it sounds, I actually LIKE getting a good night's sleep.

5. Even scarier, I think I'd PREFER to stay in and veg on a Friday night. And Saturday.

6. I've noticed that I've started comparing prices of things in the grocery store. I could never be bothered with this before, but now, on prinicple, I refuse to pay for the name brand stuff if I can get the same thing for less $$. If that doesn't scream 'ADULT', I don't know what does.

7. Oh wait, this does: I caved in and bought an actual suit for work. I now own clothes that actually need to be dry-cleaned. (I didn't really cave, it was more of an ultimatum from my boss, so couldn't it be considered 'forced adulthood'??)

8. I'm almost 30, so does that mean it's creepy that I watch Laguna Beach on MTV? (no need to actually answer this question)

9. Growing up isn't as scary as I once thought it was. There are parts of it I've really enjoyed and parts of it I'm still looking forward to, but I can't help feeling a sense of nostalgia for my early twenties....

10. 27 was a tough year, 28 was pretty damn good. I have a feeling (or a hope) that 29 will be even better! Wohoo!
