You Know You're a Grown-Up When...

Ever have one of those moments when you suddenly realize, "Oh my gosh, I'm a GROWN-UP!" Here are a few of my 'woah' moments. I'd love to hear yours!

You know you're a grown-up when:

1) You open your fridge and see things like a jar of marinated roasted peppers, asparagus spears, or chicken stock

2) The kids at the park say "Hello, Miss!" (you turn around to see who they're talking to... and guess what, it's YOU!)

3) You meet a seventeen year old and realize you're ten whole years older than her

4) You say things like, "Yah, it's a nice house, but kind of far away form the local kindergarten"

5) You wake up early to meditate or take a jog

6) You see amazing shoes, try them on, and don't buy them because they're not comfortable enough

7) Your dad says, "Boy, I'm really looking forward to being a grandpa. When's that gonna be?"

8) A car goes by banging techno and you say, "Geeze, kids listen to the worst music these days!"

LUCKILY, THERE ARE ALSO MOMENTS WHEN YOU KNOW YOU WILL ALWAYS BE A CHILD AT HEART:

1) You do a little dance when you eat a cupcake

2) You crouch down to look at ladybugs

3) You want hot chocolate when you come home on a cold day

4) When you channel surf on a Sunday morning, you stop on the kid's channel to watch some classic Bugs Bunny and still think it's one of the most entertaining things ever

5) You get giddy when it's time for cake at a birthday party

6) You still love Dr. Seuss books

7) Sometimes, you would like nothing better than to sit down with a coloring book and some crayons and just GO FOR IT (after all, you are finally able to draw within the lines, which used to be a really big deal, remember?)

Yeah, I remember you buying coloring books in Scottsdale and I had to swear not to tell anyone because you where over 20 then...I guess I can come out now since you admit to still doing it.

I know you are grown-up when your criteria for travel is: beach at your doorstep, friendly staff and good food.....:)
