On Being an Adult

Well, pheebee has been an adult for 4 years now. There are a lot of things are pretty freakin' sweet. There are other things that suck. But all in all, it's a nice ride. So now, it's time to take it to the next level. Allow me to give the highlights of what you need to do to take it to the next level:

For the girls:
1. Keep your comments to yourself. Yes, you would feel better if you could tell that girl with her baby sister's clothes on that she looks like a 50 cent hooker, but in the end, it really isn't good for anyone.

2. Only show one sexy area of the body at a time. Dang girl, leave SOMETHING to the imagination.

3. Purchase a kick ass tv. Real adults have at least 32".

And, for the boys:
1. Pull up yer effen pants. SERIOUSLY. No one wants to see your azz in those plaid boxers when you're walking down the street.

2. Learn to court a woman. For real. Being hot isn't gonna cut it. Ok, it's gonna cut it for a while, but after a couple months buy some freakin' flowers!

3. Get a real bed. A futon does not qualify. And while I'm on the subject, any furniture that's left over from your dorm room should be thrown out immediately. Really, that's got to be a breeding ground for all kinds of cooties. Get some real furniture!

Ok, thus ends pheebees guide to adult life...for now.

Manifesto continues!

Well, slowly but surely, I'm raising the level of awesome in my life. Since my last post, I've been going to the gym more consistently. Yay for that! I've also been cleaning more consistently. Speaking of which, can I just wax poetic for a moment about the Swiffer WetJet? Whoever invented that should be given a medal of honor. That sucker keeps my otherwise icky floors clean as a whistle. It is fantastic because it's just as clean with a lot less effort than a real mop and bucket situation! It does so well that I just gave away my old mop. I definitely feel like those hilarious Swiffer commercials! Another ease of use product that has made life better? The Fresh Shower spray. You know the type? Where you spray your shower down after you get out and it helps you clean? LOVE IT. And this time, it actually does a better job than the soap and sponge method. My shower really holds on to overall grime (not specific dirt, but just the kind that hangs around when a shower is old...). Even after soaking the tub in bleach I just couldn't get rid of the water stains. Now? After letting the fresh shower do its thing, I am actually starting to see a difference. Nice!

Ahem, back to the manifesto. The level of awesome is moving slowly but surely. I'm only on week 3 of working out with the trainer as of tomorrow, but last week I did hit the gym 5 days. My workouts aren't as intense as before, but frankly "less intense than before" is a helluva lot more intense than not at all. Today, I suffered a little bit of a setback of the sore throat variety, but we're only on the 2nd day of the week. Hopefully, I've fought this cold hard enough that I will be able to go everyday the rest of this week. Hooray!

So, my next milestone? Halloween. I've decided to retire the Snow White costume, and replace it with something equally cute and scandalous. In order to do that, I'm going to have to get my act together in roughly 6 weeks. On the weight watchers schedule, that could be anywhere from 6-12 lbs between now and then. So, we'll see how that goes...Let the costume shopping begin. Because I? I am an "after" picture waiting to happen. ;)
