Recent thoughts that prove I'm getting OLD...

~ When asked “where is the after-party?!” my first thought was: “The only place I’m going after this is home to take off my makeup and these shoes. Have fun.”

~ When receiving a speeding ticket, my thought wasn’t “oh crap, a fine!” my first thought was: “Oh CRAP – my insurance!”

~ When texted to go out to the bars at 11:30 p.m., my first thought was: “Wah… where am I? Is it morning yet?” (I had already fallen asleep. Granted, after 3 glasses of wine at Messina Hof, but still.”

~ When shopping and considering new jeans and shoes, my first thought was: “Do I REALLY want this or should I put this money in my IRA?”

~ When my friend asked me to dog-sit for the weekend, my first thought was: “Hmmm… I just shampooed the carpets. I hope he’s potty trained.”

~ When one of my friends got pregnant, my first thought was NOT: “Oopsie. Who’s the dad?” (Thank goodness for this!)

~ When my phone rings with an unrecognized number, my first thought wasn’t “Stalker!” my first thought was: “Hold on, I have to take this. Business call.”

It’s true; I’m getting old. Gracefully. And I don’t care what you say, I like it. Still just the right amount of fun, just the right amount of real world. These are the days!

Flashback Viral Vids

I have no idea what got me thinking about it, but I started thinking about the viral videos I used to love.

Maybe it was the banana phone I saw while out vintage shopping with Tiffany. Maybe it was a text from my bestie Jessica while I was eating an apple with peanut butter. I don't know why it happened, but it did.

And I'm so glad. I almost forgot about these annoying, fantastic little gems. Shared here in order of frequency I've viewed them.

Banana Phone. Fun to sing when the phone is ringing. And when eating bananas.

Whistle Tips. So delightfully quotable.

End of the world. Also a fantastic spice to sprinkle into conversations randomly. And sadly, much of my understanding of the nuclear arms race I learned from this video.

And my VERY FAVORITE...

Peanut butter jelly time!!! My best friend Jessica and I (for unknown reasons) played this song before any test in college. It was our "hype-up" song. We choreographed moves. We sang it acapella. We really took this viral video to the next level. (And we graduated with pretty awesome grades).

Ahhh... That was fun.

They say everything comes back eventually. But I won't let these videos die to give them a chance to come back. I love 'em.

Hope you have a peanut butter jelly time day tomorrow!

XOXO
