Things That Make Me Feel Like A Grown-Up
A Wednesday list, for old time's sake...
The other day I met my friend for lunch. We were both in our nice work clothes and as we sat down were like, I feel like such an adult when I meet people for lunch! What else makes me feel like a grown up, you ask? Oh, you didn't ask? Oh, my mistake. I will tell you anyway.
-Meeting friends for happy hour. Drinks? After a grueling day at the office? In business attire? Grown up.
-Cleaning up my yard. Including raking. And trimming. Maybe not the best part of being an adult, but very mature of me to do, I think.
-Sending strongly worded e-mails regarding my clients. I like to throw around industry terms all casually, so it sounds like I really know what I'm doing. And sometimes I do know what I'm doing, which is even more strange to me. I'm like, whoa, I know this! This random fact/law/procedure. Huh. How about that.
-Giving out my business card. Do you have a card? Why yes, yes I do.
-Getting my car worked on. OK, I still call my dad for almost everything car-related, but the other day I had a low tire and I just took myself right up to the tire store and they fixed it and I went on my way and I was all, hey, look at me, handling my own business. I'm an adult!
-Reading the Sunday paper with a cup of coffee. Ah, actually getting out of bed with enough time to relax before church. That's what grown-ups do, I am sure of it.
To counteract all this adultness, I also eat ice cream for dinner, watch Saved By The Bell on Saturday mornings, and get really excited when someone gives me a sticker.
What do you do that makes you feel like a grown-up? Just kidding guys, just kidding...
