I think I may have...

...the Benjamin Button syndrome...you know, getting younger...


..except mine's in my head - the body still looks like an old lady.

Like tonight..couldn't decide what I wanted to eat..Mr. B wanted a burrito ..so I picked up some fast food Mexican for Mom-in-Law and Mr. B but I still didn't know what I wanted..

..and all I could think about was........ a bowl of cereal.

Used to drive me nuts when I'd cook and the kids would say "Can I just have a bowl of cereal?"

But, I can totally understand now...I {LOVE } cereal.


You know the kind with a prize inside..well, not really..


..but I have been known to order a Kid's meal so I could get the prize...Hey, I could've had a kid in the car..I could..

I didn't..

..but I could have.

Then there's the whole "giggly-girl" thing. Today at work, I was leaving a voice mail message (and I need to say we've been really crazy-busy..so we're all a bit....uh..slap-happy)

I tried to do ....MATH...

In my head...

Over the phone...and I'm really not used to anyone else working with me, so I heard this stifled giggle coming from right close by..




{ do I sound like a hick or what... "right close by"}

And sweet Jillian was laughing and trying not to so I wouldn't mess up any more, but the more she tried NOT to laugh, the more she did..Cayce in the background asking "What's so funny" What's going on??"

..and the more confused I became and rattled something about "giving a refund on part of the purchase so your total cost would be......................................................................(weather report: l.o.n.g. silence with scattered giggles)..uh..um...whatever you paid for it. Bye"

And, I used to be so, oh, I don't know... professional...in my dress, in my speaking..in my life.


Now I'm the Queen of Comfort...speak dyslexic-ly..(my words seem to come out in no particular order) .have industrial strength hair...and , get this...wear comfortable, UGLY shoes.

My "toys" are all over my art room...I can't wait to spend all my allowance...and I start planning for the week-end on Monday..

My mind wanders and I say things before I think ...

Oh well...guess my "inner-adult" needs to go to bed now...good night and have a FUN day tomorrow, on a Tuesday no less!

-me

Yeah...it's all Greek to me too..
