Default Signs you're a grown-up !

Signs You're A Grown-up:

1. 6:00 AM is when you get up, not when you go to sleep.
2. You hear your favorite song on an elevator.
3. You go from 130 days of vacation time to 7.
4. Jeans and a sweater no longer qualify as 'dressed up.'
5. You're the one calling the police because those darn kids next door don't know how to turn down the stereo.
6. Your car insurance goes down and your car payments go up.
7. Dinner and a movie - The whole date instead of the beginning of one.
8. MTV News is no longer your primary source for information.
9. You actually eat breakfast foods at breakfast time.
10. "I just can't drink the way I used to" replaces "I'm never going to drink that much again."
11. Over 90% of the time you spend in front of a computer is for real work.
12. You read this entire list looking for one sign that doesn't apply to you.

Number 8. I was in my late twenties when MTV hit the air. Never did apply. Unfortunately most of the others are true. I remember coming home with a "snoutfull" at 3 in the morning and getting up at 6 and going to work and feeling rather poorly around 10 when I totally sobered up. No More!

Caution! I recall reading about someone doing donuts in the snow in her car.

A couple for the list:

1) You stop eating chocolate chip cookies or ice cream for breakfast instead of "super-healthy" bran cereal w/ fatfree milk

2) You start complaining about how stupid the latest high school/college pranks are/set to prove that the pranks when you were younger "were far better."
