So, I almost forgot I decided to do this on Wednesdays. (If you dont understand, please scroll down to Vol 1 from Friday).
Today's edition: My personal 20something milestones: (in random order)
1. Realizing I'm too old to go on the Real World. Boo. :(
2. Deciding to get rid of some of my sorority t-shirts (think "2000 pledge dance")...then deciding against it and putting them back in the drawer.
3. Understanding a 401k...and why I need it.
4. Realizing I might be among the "older" group in the bar. Needless to say, I changed bars.
5. Actually thinking wine is better than beer...and even knowing a little about wine rather than holding it to look older. (Yeah, I did that)
6. Seeing a few wrinkles.. like REAL ones by my eyes. I blame smiling a lot. I'm a happy person and look where it's gotten me. (Please note that I immediately went to Origins and got a good skin care regimen. No shit.)
7. Getting-and actually caring for-an animal...and liking it.
8. Actually caring, researching, and forming an informed opinion on politics, global issues, and other matters that some of you cared about in college. (I was too busy bleaching my hair and tanning-haha.. kidding)
9. Meeting, liking, and briefly dating a guy in his 30s...and finding it totally normal-b/c it is.
10. Realizing it's okay to hate the job I thought I'd love...and making changes accordingly.
11. Getting a better handle on what I want, what I dont, what I'll compromise on, etc.
12. Sitting home on a Friday or Sat night with some takeout and dvr-ed shows...and being comfortable thinking that's the perfect thing I could be doing at that moment... :)

i love your last one. i don't do that too frequently out here because there is ALWAYS a party to go to or someone to hang out with... but sometimes all i want to do is hang out by myself in my own apartment and watch grey's anatomy. yes.
hah. i was just going to say the same as lauryl - i like #12.
also i have thought about the real world bit. it is sad. i would make good tv.
also i have a storage box complete with college wardrobe - lots of sorority tshirts and sorostitute backless ensambles, one HORSE skirt, the SIZE 1 (ONE - yea ONE) jean skirt i wore the night i first made out with my husband... things i can't fit my large arse into anymore and don't even want to try!
i think that should be #13. not caring about what size your clothing is as long as its comfortable!
teee heee. they are so funny, because they are sooooooooooooo true. i like, look forward to having time to do laundry or have one of those "nice little saturdays" they talk about in old school. home depot, bed bath & beyond...if there's time, of course.
