Two fer One!

Two posts in one day! Who'da thunk? Okay, so this is copied straight off the internet. I still found it hysterical.

25 Signs That You Are Grown Up:

1. Your houseplants 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 in 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 %&@# 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 car payments go up.

14. You feed your dog Science Diet instead of McDonald's leftovers.

15. Sleeping on the couch makes your back hurt.

16. You take naps.

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 drink at home to save money before going to a bar.

25. When you find out your friend is pregnant, you congratulate them
instead of asking, "Oh S*$#, what the hell happened?"

Bonus: 26: You read this entire list looking desperately for one sign
that doesn't apply to you and can't find one to save your sorry old
butt.

Ah, get thee to a Trader Joe's and buy some Charles Shaw (a.k.a. Two Buck Chuck) for $2. It's quite good.

Alex, you underestimate me terribly. For what reason did you assume I did NOT know about Trader Joe's and the infamous, and wonderful, two-buck chuck?

Trader Joe's started in Seattle, darlin'.

it's actually 3 buck chuck, they raised the price like 2 years ago!

Aarwenn said...

This I ALSO know, but I'm pretty sure the price was only raised here in WA. And maybe OR. In California, I think it's still two bucks.

Mlle. Aarwenn is right—in Cali, Two Buck Chuck is still two bucks. We can’t afford a higher price after shelling out for six‐dollar domestic beers.

I also found this amusing. I've come to terms with my old-age-lame-assedness, it comes with the territory of a 9 to 5 J-O-B. Stupid work.
