I Am, Like, Totally a Responsible Adult

I lost a half a pound this week.

Which, considering that Saturday’s barbecue degenerated into drinking games – which I lost, and horribly – and I honestly cannot remember whether I consumed one Snickers bar or seven, or if the chocolate I consumed was indeed Snickers, I’m going to accept happily and move on.

(Move on into a future that will be drinking game-free, because, um, what a dumb idea. And before you ask: I’m 32, and haven’t played a drinking game since college, if I even played one then. The game was not my idea – it was raining, and the person whose idea it was actually stayed out clubbing until five a.m. No, I don’t even really like Snickers bars very much. And yes, I spent much of Sunday consuming vegetables, drinking water and – to continue the I-am-totally-an-adult theme -- playing Guitar Hero on my friends’ PlayStation. But you weren’t going to ask about the Guitar Hero, were you? And the friends are older than I am. So there.)

  1. Guitar Hero is awesome, and much safer than drinking games :D

  2. Aaaah yes, drinking games. Hopefully a "pleasure" which will remain safely in my past where it belongs!

    I'm always pleased when I find a guilty pleasure that I don't like and am therefore not tempted by and Snickers (or Marathons as I still think of them) are one of those. Just don't like nuts IN stuff (chocolate, icecream etc), it's all wrong!!

    Well done on the 1/2 lb though. It's going in the right direction and life is still being lived. Not bad eh?

  3. Lesley, I agree about the nuts. I could hork down a jar of peanut butter any day, but a peanut m&m? Barf. Who says grown ups can't play Guitar Hero? I'm 27 and still watch The Real World. At least Guitar Hero is a skill.
