So after turning 25, I did not immediately blossom into a super-put-together Gwyneth Paltrow-like creature of grace and maturity. In fact, I spent that first day in a t-shirt that says "Chill" and an airbrushed hat that says "Princess."
I'm taking baby steps though. My mantra is "March is Transition Month." This is my month to get it together. I'm allowed some days where I pick dry shampoo and an extra 15 minutes of sleep over a shower.
I went shopping today for some new clothes after I realized even my "nice" sweater had unidentified schmutz on it. I'm transitioning my wardrobe from crusty skater's ex-girlfriend to young professional woman who knows what a 401k is. Also on my to-do list: learn what a 401k is. I was really proud of myself because I went into Forever XXI but bought NOTHING. "Just say no to the graffiti-print crop top, Liz. You're beyond that now."
I also cleaned my room (INCLUDING DUSTING) last night and actually took a shower this morning. Some more grown-up goals: go grocery shopping this week, do some meal planning, join a gym, get a new non-Ikea dresser that isn't broken.
