Remind me to smack you next time I see you Moira.....

 

I'm about halfway there.....i guess that means I'll be grown up when i'm 52.

 

I hate those reality checks.

 

I can't relate to any of those!

 

I'm still a kid at heart

 

1. Your houseplants are alive, and you can't smoke any of them
No answer

2. Having sex in a twin bed is out of the question
Having sex *anywhere* is just fine

3. You keep more food than beer in the fridge
That is what the fridge in the garge is for!

4. 6:00 AM is when you get up, not when you go to bed
Does 4 AM come close?

5. You hear your favorite song in an elevator
People clear an elevator when Elton John's "Benny & the Jets" is muzac because I'm screaming how wrong that is

6. You watch the Weather Channel
Looking outside is a better guess (what ch is the weather on anyway?)

7. Your friends marry and divorce instead of "hook-up" and "break-up"
uhhh...we take turns on who is divorced and married ensuring a good ratio of hook-ups and "I GOT LUCKY BY THE WIFE! Second time this year, I wonder what she wants?"

8. You go from 130 days of vacation to 14
Hubby takes a weekend a month and couple of months a year "vacations". So do I when he's gone

9. Jeans and a sweater no longer qualify as "dressed up"
Its not considered 'dressed up'? Since when?!

10. You're the one calling the police because those f_____g kids next door won't turn down the stereo
ROTFL - yesterday the kid behind us kept yelling "Daaady! They play music too loud! Make it stop!" (NIN on outside stereo rocks)

11. Older relatives feel comfortable telling sex jokes around you
That will NEVER happen. They are afraid I'll have a 'better' one

12. You don't know what time Taco Bell closes anymore
1 AM Mon-Thurs, drive thru open to 3AM friday-sunday

13. Your car insurance goes down and your car payments go up
I wish!

14. You feed your dog Science Diet instead of McDonald's leftovers
The dawg luv's Costco 52lb no-name brand. And cold pizza.

15. Sleeping on the couch makes your back hurt
Only when I wake up with 5 cats piled on me...

16. You take naps
I didn't take them when I was little. I changed that 20 years ago.

17. Dinner and a movie is the whole date instead of the beginning of one
We have a Vibe. The seats fold waaaaaaaaaaay down.

18. Eating a basket of chicken wings at 3 AM would severely upset, rather than settle, your stomach
Do pop tarts and pudding count?

19. You go to the drugstore for ibuprofen and antacid, not condoms and pregnancy tests
(but not OTC meds)

20. A $4.00 bottle of wine is no longer "pretty good stuff"
It is when you buy it on base!

21. You actually eat breakfast food at breakfast time
Noon is 'breakfast time'

22. "I just can't drink the way I used to" replaces "I'm never going to drink that much again"
That stopped when I turned legal. Can brag I'm a cheap date though!

23. 90% of the time you spend in front of a computer is for real work
brrrruuuuahhhhhhhaaahhhhhhhhhaaaaaaaaa
never gonna happen

24. You drink at home to save money before going to the bar
Soda is still free in some places...

25. When you find out your friend is pregnant you congratulate them instead of asking "Oh $ hit, what the hell happened?"
The latter as in "What? You skipped a pill or something?"


Bonus:
26. You read this entire list looking desperately for one sign that doesn't apply to you and can't find one to save your sorry a $$ . Then you forward it to a bunch of old friends 'cause you know they'll enjoy it & do the same

I'll forward it just to see how much partying they are doing

 

"1. Your houseplants are alive, and you can't smoke any of them
No answer "

share the wealth

 

I'm 35 and by your list I must be still not grown up.

 

Being 50 I reckon most of those apply so am I getting old? Ask the kids who still can't keep up with me........................., not just in a race either.
