I Are All Growed Up

I was getting dressed this morning before the sun came up.  I did my hair and make-up, like I do every morning now.  I looked polished in my knit turtleneck and tan, pressed slacks.   I smiled at the reflection of myself all dressed up for work, noting how grown up I look and feel. 

Then I saw my engagement ring and thought how REALLY grown up I look and feel.

At work I placed orders for inventory.  I implemented a new system for controlling insurance payments. I had a mid-morning meeting with HR to discuss my 401k.  I had a lunch meeting with my manager to discuss an upcoming project.  I worked late with a coworker so we could organize supplies.

Grown up. Grown up, indeed.

On the way out the door, my coworker wanted to stop and get a Pepsi.  The machine wasn't giving her her pop or money, so I put my hands on it and yelled in my best southern baptist voice, "JEEEEEEEEEEESUS HEEEEAL THIS MACHINE!!!!!!!" until her Pepsi came out.

Guess I'm not ALL grown up quite yet. 

Thank god.

Being grown up is overrated, anyhow. :)

You ARE all grown up. A fully grown-up whackjob. And I mean that in the nicest possible way.

I knew this whole grown up thing was coming when you started with the CRAZY INSANE BAKING! Good Lord woman. I bet you own an apron now too, don't you? Don't you?!?!

If it was divine intervention, it would've been transformed into a Coke. :-)

Could you get beer from the machine that way?

*snort* Texas is finally rubbing off on you. But really, you should be drinking Dr. Pepper.

That's hilarious. Yep, just wait until you add your wedding band to that left finger. But, seriously, we have to be adults, but we don't have to give up having fun. The motto I LIVE by. Miss ya friend!
