I should expect it, I am married to someone 13 years me senior!!

Sometimes I feel old, but after thinking about it, I'd rather refer to it as sensible.
  • Aaron and I own, and use, a pill cutter. In general, I don't think young healthy couples own such a thing. And there's something about it that just makes me feel older. I think it's because I have memories of sittign at the kitchen table on a Saturday night with my grandma while she doled out the pills for the next week. However, we have one because I read that you should take half a vitamin, twice a day, because your body will be able to absorb the vitamins better that way.

  • Several nights a week, we're in bed before 9pm. Our "normal" bedtime is 10pm, but lately we've been hitting the sack even earlier. I feel like we have a good reason though. We're in bed because we get up at 4:30am to go to the gym.

  • Then there's the obvious "I'm 22 and don't go out and get wasted 4 nights a week." That one I'm pretty okay with.

  • We have spent many a night recently vacuuming and steam cleaning our carpets - and were excited about it!! I'm embarrassed to say how disgusting our carpets were before, but the good news is, they're a lot less disgusting now!!

There's yellow corn and green corn and...

I am sort of a picky eater. I used to be a lot worse, but Aaron has encouraged me to try a lot of new things. I never thought I'd say that grilled salmon and asparagus is one of my favorite meals, but it is!!

Yesterday I tried a dried apricot (even dipped it in chocolate) which I wasn't a fan of. The key point is that I tried it though, because a couple years ago I wouldn't have even tried it. Then when I got home Aaron had made a chicken and vegetable soup. He apparently thought that I was only 3 years old and that I could be tricked into not noticing that there were peas in the soup. I don't like peas. I think they're gross and mushy, but I'm not so bad that I would pick them out of the soup, I just don't want a big pile of them with dinner. When I asked what all was in the soup, Aaron mocked my dislike for peas by telling me that there was "carrots, green beans, yellow corn, green corn, chicken..."
