As I watch the years go by, I realize that I totally understand what my mom was telling me when she said, "I might be in my 60's now, but I still feel like a kid inside!" I'm 43 years old…44 in july, and I still like punk rock music, trendy clothing, coloring, markers and crayons, playing with play dough, buying a new box of crayons…..and so on! So, what's the deal? Am I immature or not? Here is a visual list of my favorite things:
|
angels and airwaves, blink 182, the offspring, metallica, box car racer, the killers
…just to name a few |
|
i know how bad this stuff is for me, but i LOVE it and can't say no |
|
sunshine…eternal warmth
i'm a freaking brat when it's cold |
|
my favorite food
P.B and J! |
|
i get more giddy over a new box of crayons than i do a new novel |
|
cute toenails….always |
|
COLORING….love it |
|
kick 'A' cars
makes NO sense for a mom to drive a camero or mustang
…but i want one…please, pretty please!!! |
|
grover.
need i explain? |
|
i'm semi-obsessed with transformers
my favorite show - ever
i didn't read Eat, Pray, Love and i didn't see the film…and i won't |
|
can not help but giggle at 'naughty' words and jokes |
|
adorable…chubby shoes! |
|
i play on Polyvore. it's a mindless waste of time.
it's the only computer 'suck-in' i cave to...
pathetic & eternal fashion coordinator. |
So, what's my consensus? I still don't know, but none of the above seem like real adult-ish things to like and do. An adult shows discipline and poise. An adult gives stalwart advice, because of gained wisdom. An adult probably does not sit and wonder if they are mature or not…they just know they are. I guess I still don't care either. I am who I am, because of what life has given me…and I couldn't be more grateful!!!! So I will play outside with sidewalk chalk, make play dough because I feel like it, mess around on polyvore and watch sesame street on you tube. I will do all this while wearing chubby teenager shoes and sipping on diet coke with Blink 182 blaring on my laptop. If you don't like that, then you don't have to like me, it's ok….I'm not sad…I still love you :] If you find me a little…..well, I'll let Yoda finish that sentence for me.
I swear, get over it. But to make you feel better: I've read the Book of Mormon more than once, I love the gospel of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, I believe Joseph Smith, Prayer works, I have a testimony that my Father in Heaven and His Son are real and they love us
all…even if we laugh at naughty jokes. Now, if my faith offends you it's ok….refer back to Yoda's wisdom.
Peace out girl scout
Lisa :]
