You know you're getting old when...

I am at work, and I had to be in at 7am. Last night, I didn't get to bed until 1am because my boyfriend played with his band at the Khyber. And honestly? I am getting too old for this! The sad part is that I only had one drink, and I am STILL terribly under the weather this morning. Aw well.

On another note, another goal is that I am going to try to eat healthier- not to lose weight or diet, but just to feel better physically.

Okay that's all for now. Later.

25: the Birthday Dish

So that's it. I'm 25. In the words of the now terrible Grey's Anatomy, "When did this happen, and how can I make it stop?"

But it's true. It seems just like yesterday that I was sitting on a giant yellow moon chair (from Ikea) in my freshman year dorm room, eating animal crackers and marshmallows dipped in icing... even if I did just eat that yesterday. How could that moon chair moment be from 7 years ago? And more importantly, how am I really that old?

And now, I am in deep, folks- I am in my quarter life crisis. I am not finished my masters degree. My career is not perfect. I am not married/engaged/a mother (thank goodness). And I just cut off all of my hair. This isn't what I thought 25 would be like at all! Shouldn't I have discovered the cure for AIDS or saved a rain forest by now?

So, instead of waiting until January 2009 to issue a new set of resolutions, I am going to use the carpe diem approach, and start now. Right. Now. This blog is going to be dedicated to my epiphanies and realizations about what I want to/should accomplish within the next five years- before I hit the big 3-0, and things start to go really fast.

First things first, I want to get a list going. I'll add things as necessary, but for a start:
1. Volunteer more
2. Get a cat (you know, to start my crazy cat lady collection)
3. Learn yoga

Actually, those three things should keep me pretty busy until 26, at very least.
