Grandma Status

Lately I have becoming even more grandma-like, with the exception of the fact that work forces me to not go to bed until around 11:30 instead of my normal 10 PM bedtime.  There are several reasons why I am becoming more like a grandma...

First of all, I have come to the conclusion that being sun burnt is not worth the pain and the skin damage.  Therefore, when I am outside for an extended period of time, I always make a point to apply massive amounts of sunscreen and to reapply frequently.  Yesterday at Target I bought an adorable sun hat for only $7! I can't wait to break it out tomorrow at the Wisconsin State Fair.  Since my hair is so obnoxiously thin, my scalp usually burns when I'm outside. Gotta protect my head.  

I love that we now get two Sunday papers (the Daily Herald and the Chicago Tribune).  That means I can be even more of an extreme couponer than I already am.  My dad likes to make fun of me for collecting so many coupons.  However, the joke was on him when we saved $22 on out massive back-to-school Walmart shopping trip the other day.  Hah!

Finally, I am glad that I have the attitude that I don't care about this "grandma status" of mine. Who cares if the people around me give me strange looks when I break out the sunscreen in the middle of a set a Lollapalloza?  What does it matter if people give me shocked and confused looks when I mention that I normally go to bed about 2 hours earlier than the average college student?  I get up early every single day to run so I believe that it is justified.  

I am going to try to be better about writing in my blog more often.  I know that I've been slacking lately.
