There are times that I say something and I can see my 15 year old self shaking her head in shame, thinking "this is what happens when I'm an adult?"
Do you ever catch yourself saying something and you're like "There's a sentence I never thought I'd say"?
Lately, with all of our home improvement projects I've had several of those moments.
Lately, with all of our home improvement projects I've had several of those moments.
For instance:
"the grout looked so good in the morning"--since when was grout something to get excited about?
"I love that sink faucet!"-and then when I couldn't find that one on the shelf, I drove to another store that had it in stock.
"I can't wait for the new cabinet in the bathroom to be installed!"--These are the things that I get excited about now.
'That granite looks so pretty. It's going to look great in the bathroom"-Yes, I'm talking about granite. And a bathroom. Who am I???
"I can't wait for our deck chairs to get here" (this was before our zero gravity chairs arrived)--these are the packages I eagerly await arriving (that and my Loft shipments haha)
"What lighting fixtures should we pick out? I want them to go with everything else"-instead of coordinating an outfit, or a get together with friends, coordinating my light fixtures is on the priority list now.
I'm sure there are plenty more, these are just the ones that come to mind lately.
What are some of the things that you never thought you'd say?
Hahaha I'm with you on that!! Since we're selling the house I find myself saying lots of weird things similar to that... like "lets paint the shutters so they pop when people drive by and it catches their attention" or when looking at houses I say things like "there's no extra room in this house for kids to play" and "this room will definitely need a ceiling fan because it gets hot at night here"

I've had SO many of these moments lately. Who are we and what happened to us? Lol! When did we become these people that we remember thinking were so boring as children?
ReplyDeleteGirl I feel ya on this!! When we got a dyson vacuum cleaner I legit thought I had just won the lottery and was like I can't wait to get this house so clean! LOL My mom was like where was this when you were a teenager! xo, Biana -BlovedBoston
ReplyDeleteHaha, I love these! I always feel really old when I'm excited about staying in on Friday nights and going to bed early.
ReplyDeleteHaha, I love these! My personal favorite is now whenever I say "I'd like to go to Menards today." It's like, who am I?!
ReplyDeleteI am with you, lady! How did we grow up so fast?? I remember learning how to grout and caulk last year, and it being the best day of my life... kiiiinda embarrassing haha!
ReplyDelete"Do you think we will have enough time to hit Costco, Target and Bed Bath & Beyond all in one day???" Oh how life has changed ;-)
ReplyDeleteHaha all of these are so true!!
ReplyDeleteHa, this is too good! I’m always laughing about getting excited about home fixings now – it’s so funny how our priorities change! I can’t believe how excited I was picking out our backsplash in the kitchen and how eager I am to have our storm door put in!
ReplyDeleteStory of my life. My weekends are spent doing projects around the house, and I'm totally happy about that! But yes, it does make you feel old doesn't it?!
ReplyDeleteThis is hilarious!!! I love all of them and I've said the same thing before!

ReplyDeleteWhen I was still working, I was often glad to be in bed before 11:00. Never thought I would be saying that.
ReplyDeleteHahaha these are all things I have and do say and still can't believe it. And when I say I want to go to bed and it's only 10 pm ;)
ReplyDeleteI'm totally like that now. I've told my friends and husband that it's been a while since i got super excited about clothes. My life has been circling around finding decor and light fixtures, and wall colors, and ideas for the house. But it's amazing. i totally get your grout excitement, btw. I can't wait to start painting the bathroom and maybe even the cabinets! yikes! So many things on my home diy list!
ReplyDeletehahaha yes. we are on the look for a new sink faucet and you know you are grown when the look of one excites you. i know exactly how you feel! home updates are neverending
ReplyDeleteI'm right there with you. It's so weird what we get really excited about as adults!
