I done got beat with a boring stick!
Hey, what happened? I feel like with back to school I suddenly matured overnight. I'm 37, but for the most part have never really behaved my age. I like to giggle, have been accused of being flighty, and definitely like to have a good time that usually involves ending up dancing somewhere, sometimes all by myself, but always with a smile on my face. I used to love reading celebrity gossip, fashion magazine, uploading my face on to hair style websites to see what I would like. I used to troll Facebook nightly and spy on everyone's day. I binged regularly on junk food, would get really really hyper, then run around in circles and crash. I would stay up too late watching t.v., then wake up way too early to drag myself to work. And at work I was always happy to jump into any conversation, trade a witty comment with anyone, anything to get up from my desk.
What changed? Well, I've been going to bed at a decent hour, waking at a decent hour, exercising, eating really REALLY well, I don't turn the tv on at night, I am losing touch with celebrity (who are Blake Lively and Chace Crawford?) and I merely glimpse at Facebook, and at work my head is down, my fingers type and I rarely waste a minute of time anymore. And when I do get up from my desk it is to do those stretches that you see old people doing because my back and shoulders hurt a little. I am uber organized, prioritizing things and getting things done. I feel great, am losing a bit of the mommy tummy I have always fought with and am rested and content.
One problem, I feel so status quo and boring. It feels really strange being mature, I feel like I should have grown up a long time ago, and somehow just missed the day I was supposed to switch from immature to mature.
Will they take away my Social Distortion license plate for my conforming ways?
Warning, this blog may become really, really dull with my new found maturity.
Oh, but to liven things up I am going to pull a plane tomorrow and then go to a 40th b.d. party in Montreal - I hope end up on the dance floor!

You have Social Distortion license plates? That is SO COOL.
I have been trying to also become healthier and more mature..It IS boring but much less painful than a life of constant junk food and staying up late.
But when it's party time you should cut loose! Have fun! :D
I have to start going to bed, eating healthier and getting organized. It may be boring...but I bet you feel and look great. Have fun in Montreal - that ain't boring. :)
@Lynn - yup, kinda cool alright! Cool boys actually stop me and comment on them....yessss!
@Pauline - I feel so much better with the whole new mature life style.
@Laura - I DO feel like I look better, I've lost a few points and feel great about how I've been doing at work. It's all paying off :)
