am i growing up or am i becoming grandma?

recap of my july 4th.

7/4/08
11:11 a.m. - wake up (it is so f-ing nice to be able to sleep in on a usual work day).
12 p.m. - get ready for KB and Gina's pool party
12:30 p.m. - have a "my blood sugar is low" spill and almost faint; take two sugar packets to the head and lay down
1:30 p.m. - leave for KBs
2 p.m. - arrive
2:05 p.m. to 2:35 p.m. - see a bunch of skinny clad gals in tiny bikinis, smoking cancer sticks every five minutes, and getting darker than my last black boyfriend...also talking about how drunk they got the night before and when they're going to do their next beer pong.
2:40 p.m. - leave
3:30 p.m. - arrive at Target where I spend $114 on groceries, a pair of shoes, a bunch of miscellaneous crap that I just can't live without, yeah right and a magazine for my once-weekly bubble baths and alone time
4:50 p.m. - emerge out of Target
5:05 p.m. - take a nap. Erin should be at my house at 6 p.m.
6:15 p.m. - Erin and I head to Cristina's for some tex mex - where we see a hot latin guy who just happens to be out waiter. :)
7:45 p.m. - we arrive back at my house and proceed to play old school super nintendo (just like we did in college) and laugh until i almost pee in my pants
9:20 p.m. - we set off for the field at the back of my townhome complex and sit in my car to watch the MK fireworks show. instead of seeing just MK's, we see Frisco's, Allen's, two of Plano's, and possibly Addison's. MK's sucked ass, and probably next year, I will return to my old apartment complex's neighboring office building's parking garage and see the best show of my life [again].
10 p.m. - arrive back at my house. make coke floats and eat garlic and rosemary baked archer farm chips (which are the f-ing shit) and play nintendo again...and yes...laugh so hard i almost pee in my pants [again].

7/5/08
12 a.m. - Erin decides to leave and i head over to Rommifer's down the street.
1 a.m. - we are still talking and laughing about old memories over drinks (dranks) and cheesecake.
2:20 a.m. - i start to write this blog

the moral of my title is that i think i'm growing up. growing up from the whole pool party stage where people sit around and drink beers and get skin cancer. i refuse to think i'm turning into grandma. i mean i had more fun playing old school nintendo with a college friend than watching all of my friends smoke 10 cancer sticks in two minutes and watch as they play beer pong. i have more fun, having clean fun (going to schlitterbahn, having game night, going bowling, etc), than acting like I did in college and hanging out by the pool and drinking till i can't swim anymore.

oh well...my 4th was really fun. i got to see friends that i haven't seen in months. i also got to spend time with my girl Erin. we used to have so much fun in college and i appreciate every moment she gives to me. plus i got to see fireworks. :) AND...i'm off from the part-time J-O-B tomorrow...er today...so that makes my 4th/5th even greater.

So i just found out yesterday at work that even though i took 11 days of vacation already...i still have 4 weeks of vacation left. i think i'm going to take a week or two in august and just chill...maybe even a few fridays off as well. who wants to spend some time with me?
