Sticky Situation

There are times that I like to pretend I'm an adult and there are times I like to pretend that I'll never grow up. (The trick is, if I'm pretending in both cases, then what am I really?) The recent past has been an effort to be adult. I have been obscenely productive in my life as of late and that always makes me feel grown up. Also, working copious amounts of hours contributes to the adult feeling.

Imagine my chagrin when I got a big kick of "childish" in the rear this morning. I woke up and had some toast with jam (apparently eating prior to working out helps my working out stamina - who knew?) while catching up on reading blogs and away messages. Yes, it's a sad life, but it's grown up! :)

Then, I ran to the bathroom before heading out to the gym, looked in the mirror and noticed I had jam in my eyebrow. Yes, my eyebrow. And yes, jam.

It's rather hard to maintain adult dignity when you have purple jam on your face. I don't even know how I did it, though my mom did used to make fun of me because I couldn't eat chocolate without covering my face in a moist brown residue. We all have our weaknesses. Apparently mine is eating.
