I would love to go to the gym before work, but I need like an hour after working out to cool down and stop sweating. I should just do it for a couple weeks and see if my sweat glands can adjust.

I just got done complaining to my wife over text about the fact that the state charges the processing fees for credit card, debit card, or a check on top of the registration fee. I have a strong opinion about this type of thing and argue it frequently, which I'm sure my wife is tired of hearing about.

Mine is more the Mom thing than adult thing. I was at Target yesterday and was going to snap my nephew who was moving back to ISU yesterday to see if he needed anything.

Oh man, you take it to a whole new level. I don’t know if there’s anything more that could have made 14 year old Pants groan that your comment there.

Right?! It's horrifying. I don't do it often, I usually listen to music at my desk that is definitely not going to come up in business meetings. I figure that levels it out?

Giving up jalapenos (at least for a period) based on how my digestive system dealt with them so severely the last time I ate them.

I will probably 'experiment' again in the future to see if maybe a lesser quantity of them will be okay with Mr Bowel.

I'm also critical about stupid lyrics and swearing in songs that my daughter listens to. I tell myself it's a parental thing, but it's really hypocritical of me given some of the music I've listened to and still listen to.

With the exception of vacations, I haven't stayed up past 11 in about three years. My 4-legged friend wakes up about 5:30 regardless, so for my own sanity I have to go to bed at reasonable times.

I'm there with @coolerifyoudid. I make goofy noises now all the time, I feel somewhat embarrassed about it. (I just left myself open for all kinds of retorts, but that's OK.)

Also - if I see 10PM anymore, it's only because there's a good game or movie on that I want to finish.

Wear a cap when my hair looks like ****.

Here's a good one - I climbed up in the box of my pickup last week, and when I went to get out I thought "Hell, years ago I'd just jump out." Ah, no. Knees wouldn't like that at all.

One thing that signaled to me I was an adult, is when I always starting filling my gas tank full every time instead of $10 or $20 at a time.
