Being an Adult
Hi friends!
Happy Sunday! I’m looking forward to starting my last week at the high school tomorrow. I can’t believe the year is done already, but I’m definitely looking forward to some me time.
So today I made a big decision.
I went from this:

As much as I loved my iPhone and all of the crazy things it could do, it was also a MAJOR drain on my bank account. Switching to the Alias 2 will save me 40 bucks a month. That’s 40 bucks I can put towards groceries, or savings, or even doing fun things with the husband.
The husband and I are figuring out (and have been for years now) that being an adult means paying bills and never having any fun. I’m just kidding about that last part.
Except fun is watching the husband do yard work, while creating a grocery list.
I won’t lie, I actually really like sitting on the grass.
I’m off to mourn the loss of my iPhone, and fold laundry. See how adult I am?
Tell me what grown up thing you had to do that made you realize being an adult isn’t all fun and games!
Goodnight, friends!
PS Happy Father’s Day to all you cool cats out there. This totally includes father’s to fur children too!

I had one of those “grown up moments” this weekend. I really really really want to get a bicycle right now, and I spent quite a bit of time exploring them in two different stores this weekend… modestly priced, low end ones — but still. I have the money to do it, but I decided against it so that I can keep that money as part of my emergency fund. Talk about a grown up decision… kind of scary. It’s good, but new. And making the switch down from the iPhone is a major grown up decision. Congratulations! I want one but really really can’t just drop $400 on a phone.

I remember when I had a very nice wardrobe. Clothes and concert tickets were my big expenses. Then I moved out on my own and the bills started. Somehow now most of the would-be wardrobe money is spent on the many things needed to maintain the house. And it is a great trade-off.
