1. I got in a car accident last November and had to deal with insurance companies. This debacle is still not over since the case has gone to an arbitrator to decide who was most at fault.
2. I went to the eye doctor last week because I didn't want my benefits that I'm paying for to go to waste. Learning the lingo of insurance is very grown-upy. And if you think because I went to nursing school, I know stuff about health insurance, you're wrong.
3. Paying bills. Yuck.
4. Taxes! Ok, I'm not actually doing my taxes, since I have someone who loves me a lot that does them for me, thanks Dad :). Also, it's not cool how many taxes comes out of my paycheck every pay period. Not fun.
5. Visiting the DMV to register the car and dealing with all that paperwork.
Ok fun stuff of being a grown-up:
1. I have my own paycheck, of my own money, that I can do what I want with (with what's left after taxes).
2. Since I am a single adult, I don't really have any responsibilities to anyone but myself. Meaning: I don't HAVE to stay home a cook every night. I don't have to keep my room clean. I don't have to go to bed and get up at normal times of day. But of course, I'm perfect and do all these things anyways. Anyone who knows me, knows my room is always impeccably spotless, and am definitely a morning person.
Being a grown-up isn't all that bad. It's just a lot of new information to learn. The moral of the story: Money makes the world go round.

You are such a big kid!! I am so proud of you!! I am married, have kids, and own a house and I still don't feel all that grown up. I don't keep my house clean, I hate waking up early (graveyards have ruined me forever) and I still have those growing up moments all the time. I have a long way to go.
