I'm a little sunburned, and my wrist kind of hurts, but other than that I pulled off an afternoon of 3 man racer slip n slide relatively unscathed.
I'm not going to lie-it was really fun. Sure, I felt less creepy knowing I was at the Baker's house and the main purpose of the slip n slide was for Sarah's three year old niece Ibby, but I wonder sometimes, when will I be too old for stuff like this anymore?
I just turned 25, (and we all know what a crisis THAT was) but I swear I still feel like a kid at heart. In the past year I've managed to get my college degree, land a job at a pharmaceutical company, and move to a completely new city on my own. So when do I start feeling like a "grown-up?" I suppose we never really feel adult until we're responsible for something, or someone else. Some people buy a house, some people get married young, and some people start families in an attempt to feel adult. I don't have anything of these things, so an afternoon sliding around on indestructable vinyl with a garden hose doesn't seem like such a far fetched idea.
So what can I do to feel more adult? And do I even really want to? I can't afford a house, I'm not even seeing anyone, and having kids? well I don't think my mother would be too pleased if I went down that path.
I suppose I should just learn to be happy with what I have accomplished so far, and take comfort in knowing I'm not the only 25 year old still trying to find my place in the world.
I could also use a massage right now. I may not be too old to not be adult yet, but I'm definitely too old to not be sore from flying down 18 feet on solid ground. ouch...
