Here are 25 signs you are a grown up. This is in honor of some birthdays that have recently occured to my blogger friends. All of them younger than me, so I am just warning you if you haven't reached this point yet. There is no real order of importance, just numbers to separate the points of old age. Good luck.
1. Your house plants are alive, and you can't smoke any of them.
2. Having sex in a twin bed is out of the question.
3. You keep more food than beer in the fridge.
4. 6:00 AM is when you get up, not when you go to bed.
5. You hear your favorite song on an elevator.
6. You've watched the Weather Channel.
7. Your friends marry and divorce instead of hook up and break up.
8. You go from 130 days of vacation time to 10.
9. Jeans and a sweater no longer qualify as "dressed up."
10. You're the one calling the police because those damn kids next door won't turn down the stereo.
11. Older relatives feel comfortable telling sex jokes around you.
12. You don't know what time Taco Bell closes anymore, or wouldn't eat Taco Bell if you did.
13. Your car insurance goes down and your payments go up.
14. You feed your dog Science Diet instead of McDonalds leftovers.
15. Sleeping on the couch makes your back hurt.
16. You no longer take naps from noon to 6 PM.
17. Dinner and a movie is the whole date instead of the beginning of one.
18. Eating a basket of chicken wings at 3 AM would severely upset, rather than settle your stomach.
19. You go to the drug store for ibuprofen and antacid, not condoms and pregnancy tests.
20. A $4.00 bottle of wine is no longer "pretty good stuff."
21. You actually eat breakfast food at breakfast time.
22. "I just can't drink the way I used to," replaces, "I'm never going to drink that much again."
23. 90% of the time you spend in front of a computer is for real work.
24. You drink at home to save money before going to a bar.
25. You read this entire list looking desperately for one sign that doesn't apply to you and can't find one to save your sorry old ass
I still have a couple of signs I haven't passed yet. So I guess I am still young. How about you? This was a forwarded list that I shamelessly copied. Feel free to add your own or revise some of those listed.

my parents forward me sex jokes all the time, i wake up WILLINGLY at 730 a.m. and i now quite enjoy a glass of white wine after a long hard day.
i'm only 27, but i relate to everything on the list. i guess that settles it...i'm officially "grown up"! :)
I relate to a lot of those, but especially the one about the twin bed. I used to share a twin bed with my boyfriend in college EVERY NIGHT, and now I can barely stand to sleep in a twin bed ALONE. And if someone tried to join me, well, there'd be hell to pay!
Damn kids.
bI feel like such a grown-up! ;)
23, does blogging count as work?
GREAT LIST! I like the one abot the plants though I was never a big PLANT smoker :)
12. your doctor gives you scrips for valium, xanax, lunesta... and you can't take them because you don't want to be compromised taking care of the babe!
this one killed me this week!
