I keep trying to act like a grown up.
On the inside...I feel like a 25 year old
So....I decided to start acting older because I've heard that you should fake it, til you make it.
1. Started using eye cream.
2. Cut my hair. AND MY BANGS.
3. Quit watching ABC Family Channel.
4. Turned 41.
5. Sleep next to a guy that wears Icy Hot to bed. (smells like ben-gay)
6. Started reading Good Housekeeping.
7. Started looking into getting a hearing aid.
8. Threw out my make-up that had glitter in it.
9. Started a penny collection so I can pay for things with them.
10. Stopped drinking wine that comes in a box.
11. Stopped eating chicken nuggets.
12. Drive under the speed limit.
13. Started wearing hats.
14. Started wearing a supportive bra.
15. Started wearing knee highs under my pants.
16. Stopped wearing white after labor day.
Do you have something you want to talk about? Link up with Shawn and Impulsive Addict and join in the fun!
Damn, I have totally missed it. I quit my exec job, began to paint, and quit wearing a bra altogether. Even to church. Where were you when I was beginning this mid-life crisis??
ReplyDeleteI wear knee hi's under my pants too. But only because I our office dress is "professional", which means hose. Have you ever worn hose in Texas in the summer? It isn't pretty.
ReplyDeleteEh, age is just a number. For all the thigns I do that I consider to be "old", I still cling to some really childish things as well.
ReplyDeleteYou mean one day I will have to stop drinking wine out of a box and I can no longer have chicken nuggets? What is this world coming to? :)
ReplyDeleteCute!! Two of my favorite people ever are named, Connie, my cousin and my aunt so you have to be an awesome person!
Thanks for the follow and I am now following you!
I don't think it's worth it. I mean, giving up boxed wine??? :o( At least by giving up ABC Fam, you'll be able to avoid the horrendous acting...
ReplyDeleteAs for the eye cream, just started that junk myself last week. Pretty sure it's not doing a thing. Prob would help if I slept more than 5 hours a night though. :o)
Some of those thing I do, but some of them I'll never own up to. I will never be that old. No matter what the calendar says.
ReplyDeleteI don't think I CAN grow up. My mom recently told me I need to invest in wrinkle cream. I'm 28. I didn't plan on doing things like that until I was 30. All of my friends are grown-ups, married with families, going to bed at 9 PM on weekends...and I'm just not there. I'm not ready to grow up yet :)
ReplyDeleteI started with the eye cream too. And I'm not noticing one bit of difference! Dang these eye wrinkles!!
ReplyDeleteWhat? No make up with glitter in it? Please, please, please tell me I can still use my lotion with glitter in it? I love my girly bits to be all clean and sparkly for my man!
ReplyDeleteGrowing up/getting old as hell can suck it!
Oh no.....not wine in a box!!! IF you have to give that up to be older then I don't want to grow up :)
ReplyDeleteI really don't want to grow up now. :( Who says you have to act your age???
ReplyDeleteNot the boxed wine! Say it isn't so!! :)
ReplyDeleteWhy grow up? I'm not doing it. I refuse. And I took out our mirrors. I don't want to watch myself age. But I do use eye cream. And an expensive night cream. I wonder if it's helping..
ReplyDeleteEw. Icy Hot?
Boxed wine is great! And the wallop inside won't break open unless you drop it from the 9th floor of a swanky hotel.
I'm braless on most days. Just so you know. You may want to call before dropping by.
Thank you for linking up! You is so funny. <--proper English at its best!
really, no glitter?? I so not ready for that.
ReplyDeleteWell I'M not gonna grow up and you can't make me! Nanny nanny boo boo!
ReplyDeletenoooooooo not the glitter!! never throw out the glitter. *sigh* I fear I may never be ready to give up glitter.
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure I'll ever grow up I love chicken nuggets, wine out of the box and trash tv :)
ReplyDeleteI think you should hang onto the box wine. I am. Love the bangs!
ReplyDeleteUh oh - I already do a lot of these things. Am I old?? I'M NOT READY TO BE OLD!
ReplyDeleteOn the other hand I'm not ready to stop watching ABC Family and I don't think you are either!!
I do some of those too. And my husband's been using Icy Hot lately and it drives me nuts.
ReplyDeleteHehe. We need to talk. The knee highs and driving the speed limit don't happen until at least 61. The glitter make up, well I did that too. Was it an 80's thing we just never got the memo on that it was over?
ReplyDeleteluvs ya.
Thanks for the giggles.
