When you grow up, you notice things about yourself and your world. Self awareness is a wicked cool thing. Some of it is total bull. Some self observances I've had this week:

1. I wake up from my afternoon nap and like to have chocolate milk for a snack. 

2. I'm running in Pittsburgh this weekend and well on my way to running in 12 new places in 2016. Goals. 

3. Jesus may be the reason for Easter, but the real modern miracle here is how much better chocolate bars taste in egg form. Thank God for Reese's eggs. 

4. I finally learned how to bridge with cards. I'd like to think maybe I'm an adult now, but comment 1 disproves this. 

5. I have no real qualifications for the thinks I love and the things I hate. Sometimes I just hate things because I do and I just love things because I do. Sometimes I have a shit-ton of opinions and can justify all of my feelings. I like to think this makes me interesting and unpredictable, not flighty and self-centered. 

6. Growing up is pretty freaking awesome. I think I get happier, more confident, and love myself more. Or that might just mean that growing older makes you care a whole lot less what other people think. So cheers to more naps, running, and chocolate.
