Aging Well

Recently, I have been convinced that I am more like this...
(Photo Cred: Google search for "Grandma")
...than a typical young adult
Supporting evidence:
I get annoyed when people are loud after about 10:30 or 11PM on a weeknight.
I get sick of being out on the weekend after about 10PM.
I check the news daily.
I drive like a pansy (when I have a car to drive).
My dream car is a Toyota Corolla or a Honda Civic.
I love to read Maeve Binchy and Rosamunde Pilcher books.
During the summer, I put sunscreen on daily.
I hate having a kitchen that is anything but spotless.
I can't match my socks (senile old people do this, right?!).

Okay, maybe my supporting evidence is weak. Even if I am like an old fogie, I like it. So don't mock me. At least I'm getting in lots of practice for how to be old before I reach that age.

Best of 2022

 We're only through two months of 2022, but that doesn't mean the good reads have stopped! This year I've read some excellent books. My favorites include: 11/22/63 by Stephen King In an Instant by Suzanne Redfearn You'd Be Home Now by Kathleen Glasgow Some of these might get bumped off the list before December of this year. What books should I add to my to-read stack?

New Most Embarrassing Moment

Tonight Rob was warming up for his hockey game, so I was home alone. I heard a loud knock at the door, and looked through the peephole to see who it was. I didn't recognize the man, so I just stood there silently and realized that my door wasn't locked. He'd know I was home if he heard me lock the door (which obviously would be horrible). So obviously I just left it unlocked. After he rang the doorbell to no answer, he opened my door. I was pretty proud of how quickly I was able to slam the door shut and turn the deadbolt. I started thinking of the things in the room that would double as a weapon, but then I heard him call out, "It's the maintenance guy." Whoops. At least we'll get a working furnace out of the ordeal.

Today I was Responsible

Went to class, didn't text during a single one. Ate leftovers for lunch with the Mister. Went to my work meeting, and told too many jokes (I'll take 1/2 credit). Finished my resume so I can apply for teaching internships.  What has marriage done to me?
