Oh, hai.

Why, hello!  Where have you been for the last half-year, you ask?  Oh, just caught up in the ever-quickening pace of adulthood.  And let me tell you, the perks...let's just say they be few and far between.

The crap no one ever tells you about being a grown up include:

• When you get 4 hours of sleep, people can tell
• And those people literally TELL you when you have gotten 4 hours of sleep
• Those funny faces your mom told you not to make because your face will stick that way...your face totally sticks that way now
• Words like mortgage, refinance, escrow are not just boring words the guy you are SOGLADYOUDIDNOTMARRY said all of the time
• Nobody does your laundry except you
• It's not ok to have a "laundry day" outfit anymore (I'm looking at you ripped green sweatpants!)
• While adults get to drink adult beverages, you can't drink them like you're a crazy kid anymore
• Annnnd you should have totally worn more sunscreen

The GOOD stuff people never tell you about being a grownup include, but aren't limited to:

• You get to go home with the cutest/smartest/kindest/funniest man in the room
• If you want to have Cheetos for dinner no one is gonna stop you...except for the above guy;)
• Shellac and Gelish did not exist when you were younger and now your nails are hawt
• You realize your time is valuable...
• ...As are your good friends
• Since your time is so valuable, it makes it easier to trim out the people that aren't good for you to be around
• The time you do get to spend with those you love is all the sweeter, because you have less time to spare
• And ADULT BEVERAGES

I hope you all are doing well out there!  I'm always so shocked and honored to see that Goldteef still gets around 300 unique visitors a month, even when I haven't posted in an eternity!  I hope to visit a little more often, now that I am starting into my clinical rotations, but we'll have to see how I fare!

Here's hoping you are enjoying the beautiful summer with people that you love!
