When I grow up

I have accomplished 5 things. Although I'm not sure if reading Narnia counts since my mom read them to me when I was 4. Judging by the rest of the list, I'm not sure I want to grow up anymore.
Here's to realizing that adulthood is a state of mind, not an age.
PS: Pigtails are too cool.
How many people can look at a list like this without trying to figure out how many they have done? Not me. And according to this, I have a lot of growing up to do.
One thing I have down pat, however, is my "survival kit" as my daughter calls it. (She was amazed that I had brought a flashlight when we stayed overnight on one of her workshop trips!)
When I grow up, I hope I turn off all heat producing appliances before leaving for work.
