Not what I had expected

Yesterday was my 24th birthday. When I was a kid and knew everything, I thought that 24 was the magic age at which people became real adults: mature, married, car-owning, home-owning(!), sex-having, beer-drinking, beautiful, REAL adults (like I said, I knew everything). In many ways, I feel like I have actually come to fill this (interesting) set of expectations, yet, of course, in others, I feel as if I still have my training wheels.

Today I forgot my public transit credit card, and when I asked about the fare, I was given the "grade school and high school student" discount.

So, maybe 24 isn't as glamorous as I'd thought.

Now Featuring

This totally makes my day. I have been featured, with a super-extended interview, my friends.

In other news, weather reports indicate that we should be watching for freaking snow flurries today. Last night, I checked in on the Phoenix weather for my upcoming visit, which is expected to range from a balmy 65 to an unbelievable 90+ while I'm there. The packing process has taught me that I can't quite understand what this means from my particular vantage point in frozen Chicago, as I kept setting aside sweatshirts, wool sweaters, and wool socks. Hopefully, I will meet with more success tonight as I try to repack with more tees and sandals, rather than the parkas and boots that I set aside yesterday...

Lucky day

This is it, kiddies. We're headed off to the Opera (for free!). We'll be sitting just behind the Mezzanine boxes, and I am thrilled at the excellence of our seats. :) Thank you, my unknown friend, who, though unable to attend, offered his tickets to my coworker. (And thank you to my coworker, who knew that this would make my life). :)
