I pay my own bills, usually on time, I do my job reasonably well, I don't eat candy all the time, and I don't mess up other people's property. That's grown-up enough.
I heartily endorse Zenkitty for defining "grown-up."
I walk. I talk. I shop, I sneeze. I'm gonna be a fireman when the floods roll back. There's trees in the desert since you moved out. And I don't sleep on a bed of bones.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

Herding cats for fun
(whew) According to Zenkitty, I sorta qualify for adulthood. The part about being unemployed is sticking in my craw at the moment, but hey. I never got downsized for not performing my appointed duties.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Bless WeeSisterJay. She rocks. Which we already knew, of course. Still. Bless.Oh how lovely. We like it when people in our families, or that we know, come through. Especially when we aren't sure that they are going to all that well.
She's playing with her bugs in the kitchen while I finish getting ready for work--Paul has today off, so she'll be having a Daddy and Squeak day today.I hope they are having a great day.
Unfortunately, I am still In Search Of Paneer which has led me to Brit places as well as Indian. So I am trying to not to think of this as a family variation of Bubble and Squeak. Okay, I'm not. But it's in a funny way, because baby toes look yummy to nibble on already.
HMOG, I didn't sleep at all last night. Not even a twenty minute cat nap. The bed was too hot, the bed was too cold, the pillow was too big, the pillow was too flat, the covers were too heavy, what's that noise outside, it's too quiet now... ARRRRRGH!So sorry, Nicole. I hope you sleep well and fully tonight.
The Magic Eraser will make you want to get stuff dirty just so that you can clean it.I don't think anything would make me want to do that. If it is so amazing though? I might build it a shrine.
Damn, I have to go buy me one now. If I weren't starving as well, I would complain but I guess it Needs To Be Done.
I totally want a magic eraser now. Do they make them big enough to just wipe the whole house?(If they do, I am buying them ALLLLLLLL!)
Dealing with difficulties - part of what turns you into a grownup.And, vw, you are amazing at this. More than you should have to be. Ever.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
You'll notice I didn't include "clean my dwelling regularly" in my definitive-adult list.
And hey, Katerina, "having a job" isn't actually on the list. I declare you qualify.

Two more points in favor of Zenkitty!

Mostly lurking...
Yay for Matt being home!
I'm doing yet another nebulizer. Keep me entertained for the next 10 minutes.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Yay Matt being home finally.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
Yay for Matt being home!
vw, have you heard about the Bollywood remake of Fight Club? The trailers are most entertaining and hilarious.
