I don't want to grow up, I just want to watch TV

The reason I haven't blogged in weeks: Surf The Channel

Jones clued me in, and because I haven't had cable in at least four years, I can't stop watching TV. I think I have a problem.

I did manage to do something active in the three dimensional world on Thursday. We went back down to New Paltz to hike at Minnewaska State Park. It's beautiful there. It was a good hike, a lot of overlooks and things. A lot of uphill, I was sore the next day. The weather was perfect, sunny but a little chilly. The leaves are just starting to change. Fall is my favorite time of year. I think a lot of people say that, though.

I was thrilled on Friday when it was dreary and cold. I bought a pumpkin spice candle and hot chocolate to round out my fall experience. It was just a teaser, though, today was gross.

I'm having a bit of an existential crisis. I'm gearing up for moving into the next stage of my life (going to college) but once I start, the just-hanging-out phase of my life will be over. It's bound to snowball: college, then marriage, then babies! I mean, don't get me wrong, these are all things I want, and things I want before the age of 30, but I wish my mid-twenties weren't coming so fast. A quick scan of my facebook friends from high school shows that I am, in fact, old enough to be married and have kids. When did I become a grown-up? Gross.

Could be worse. I could be turning 28 in December like someone I know.
