adulthood

Mmm...this week I have been thinking how being an adult is kind of rough.

I am only a few years into this whole being old thing and it is so bizarre.

For starters - let's talk about the economic stimulus check. Now, as if my trips to the mall don't stimulate the economy enough...the government is giving me $600 to further my propensity to being totally consumed with worldly goods. The child in me says I need to work on filling the shoe shaped hole in my heart... but the newer, adult Lindsey tells me that I should put it all towards student loans. The thing about being an adult is that you have so many completely UNexciting things to pay for like student loans, teeth cleanings, car registration, toilet paper, etc.

And can I just talk about taxes? Ok, seriously - these are so confusing. How is everyone in the nation figuring these out? I am not completely brainless - but I find taxes difficult… and odds are (small as they may seem) that there are people who are even more brainless than I am that are required to do them - this intrigues me.

I really don't mean to complain. I like this new stage. There is definitely good with the bad. Not the least of which is having a business card and a clever desk calendar. And let's not ever get into the joys of the office supply cabinet and the unlimited supply of post its that this brings.

And now – let’s talk about regrets. There is a new blog in town - http://stufffchristianslike.blogspot.com/ and it is way better than mine. I regret not coming up with this idea. Although if I had come up with it - I probably would be very prideful about how great my blog was – so I guess I am the real winner because I am still really humble. Kidding.
