25 Signs That, Sadly, You've Grown up

1. Your house plants 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 on an elevator.
6. You watch the Weather Channel.
7. Your friends marry and divorce instead of hook up and break up.

16. You no longer take naps from noon to 6 PM.
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.

20. A $4.00 bottle of wine is no longer "pretty good stuff".
21. You actually eat breakfast food at breakfast time.

$4 for a bottle of wine is a bit extravagant. You could get 2 bottles of Two-Buck-Chuck for that!

#28 You wake up in the morning and hear snap, krackle, pop, and it is your knees and hips not your breakfast.

9. Jeans and a sweater no longer qualify as "dressed up."

I don't know, I think nice jeans (worn in to that just right state) a sweater or some other high quality long sleeve collarless top, with a blazer (or English wool blazer) and new shoes/boots are a pretty good get up X% of the time.

15. Sleeping on the couch makes your back hurt. NOPE!!

Guess I will fight off growing up like Davey Crockett at the Alamo LOL.
