Being an Adult

Reveal Thursday.

First and foremost I want to wish all my family, friends and supporters an amazing Thanksgiving!! I want to say I am so grateful to have all those that truly matter in my life and for all the lessons this past year has taught me, Thank you. Every day is a blessing, go out and live your life!

I looked up the definition of an Adult, it said a person who was fully grown and developed, someone sensible and mature not childish.
I guess then that on paper I am totally an Adult but in spirit I am totally more childlike, but in a good way.
I love Candy, Cartoons, Tattoos, Motorcycles, Coloring books, Toys and all kinds of Music. I love Video games, social drinking and late nights out with friends. I love Colors and Nail polish and Amusement parks. I love the Ocean but can't swim; I love strolling in the park but can't ride a bike. I am always high but I have never done any drugs.

I took the test Dr. Oz had/has on his website that from your answers can tell you what your “Real” age is in body and mind. From what the results said my “Real” age is 32. Awesome! It puts me at ten years younger than my Birth Certificate.
I took Dr. Oz’s test on what is your real age and mine said Real age is 32.
Perhaps what has allowed me to parent as carefree as I have is having this mindset and this outlook. I have never forgotten what it was like or what it felt to be young heck I am young and no one can tell me otherwise.

I know a woman who always feels she has to remind me of my age (as if I am not aware) and better still she has to beat herself up about hers. She was my inspiration for this post.
Once I was sort of cruel because I commented that those that have a problem with ageing should not be around but it wasn't because I wanted to be cruel it was more of a speaking out loud observation. I have a strong belief that life is to be appreciated and lived as best possible and never taken for granted. But who am I to make such a statement.

Guess what I want to convey is don't knock me because I feel youthful because I have childlike tendencies and because I live life period. Don't be upset I am not on a countdown or that I watch everything I eat or do. Don't be mad I am not stuck or angry that my daughter is a vibrant young woman and enjoying her own life. I am living mine as well. I am not in competition with the young, I am in my own space, I had that time now this is just another time and I am still ready to explore and when I looked in the mirror today I was still that young vibrant spirit I was years ago and still was yesterday.

Perhaps she will continue to remind me, perhaps she will just stop one day and try things my way in any case…
Age is nothing but a number, you here it all the time; except for me it is the truth.

Happy Halloween!!



 Happy Halloween!!!


Welcome to my reveal Thursday. 
Today my share will be sweet, loving and hopefully bring a few smiles.
My reveal is that I am NOT a great fan of Halloween. I totally enjoy the candy and at times even appreciate the costumes but the idea of so many grown people walking around in masks and I can't see their faces scares me.....Booooooooooooo

I only wore a costume once, perhaps in second grade and I was Wonder Woman, the plastic mask and outfit from the box. The old school costumes our parents use to buy in drug stores or some place.

This being said I totally loved going all out for the love of my life, Erica for Halloween. I started taking her trick or treating at age 2. When she was more than capable of walking on her own. After all I am about stress free, remember? I was not about to be carrying her around or pushing a stroller, to each their own that was just not me. She knew how to say Trick or Treat and we always went with a group of friends and family. Our favorite place was in Park Slope, Brooklyn. They go all out with the decorations, Parade and the candy!!!

Now that my baby is 18 years old I find myself missing those days. The weeks of thinking of a costume idea, a Theme and buying the materials or making the purchases to make it all come to life.  Since I can no longer invest my time on that I decided to share some pictures instead of our past Halloween costumes.

Everyone be safe and have a great time. 
I will be very happy with all the candy I will get my hands on :)
