25 Signs You’ve Grown Up

Posted by Azh

1. Your house plants are alive, and you can’t smoke any of them.

2. Having sex in a twin bed is out of the question.

3. You keep more food than beer in the fridge.

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

5. You hear your favorite song on an elevator.

6. You watch the Weather Channel.

7. Your friends marry and divorce instead of hook up and break up.

8. You go from 130 days of vacation time to 14.

9. Jeans and a sweater no longer qualify as “dressed up.”

10. You’re the one calling the police because those damn kids next door won’t turn down the stereo.

11. Older relatives feel comfortable telling sex jokes around you.

12. You don’t know what time Taco Bell closes anymore.

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

14. You feed your dog Science Diet instead of McDonalds leftovers.

15. Sleeping on the couch makes your back hurt.

16. You no longer take naps from noon to 6 PM.

17. Dinner and a movie is the whole date instead of the beginning of one.

18. Eating a basket of chicken wings at 3 AM would severely upset, rather than settle, your stomach.

19. You go to the drug store for ibuprofen and antacid, not condoms and pregnancy tests.

20. A $4.00 bottle of wine is no longer “pretty good stuff.”

21. You actually eat breakfast food at breakfast time.

22. “I just can’t drink the way I used to,” replaces, “I’m never going to drink that much again.”

23. 90% of the time you spend in front of a computer is for real work.

24. You no longer drink at home to save money before going to a bar.

25. You read this entire list looking desperately for one sign that this doesn’t apply to you.

  3. Plugins that don’t work as advertised
  4. People… period!
  5. Fashion Victims
  6. Manufactured pop bands
  7. Manufactured pop bands who claim to be bands but cannot play an instrument between them!

Facts about me

Posted by Azh

Tags: , ,

I stole this one from Helena!

1.  I’m 34.

2.  Eyes - Blue

3.  Hair - Black (usually)

4.  Supposed to wear glasses for reading and computer use, rarely do.  *Makes note to go for eye test*

5.  Considering I’ve had four kids, I’m still fairly slim - at least I still fit into the same clothes I did before pregnancy.  I rarely weigh myself because I don’t really care about my weight, so long as my clothes fit me, I’m happy.

6.  Offline, I’m extremely anti-social.  I just don’t like people.  Online I can be more sociable as it’s on my own terms.  But that’s not to say I won’t snap occasionally here too!

7.  I was born a Cancer, but most of my planets are in Scorpio (including my ascendant).  So people beware!
