Yes, I'm A Millennial Grandma

Are you hungry? Do you want a peppermint?

Yes, I'm A Millennial Grandma
theplaidzebra.com

My whole life I have always been told that I am an old soul. From the music I listen to, the clothes I wear and my mothering of others I completely agree with that label. I like to have things neat and color coded. If I see someone else's work who is not I feel the urge to organize it myself. So many times friends have told me about their crazy weekends or past crazy moments and I find myself responding with an "are you crazy, that really could have ended badly!" or "what would your mother say?" It is just who I am, a grandma for life. Are you a young-old person too?

1. If you want it, I have it.

If you want a peppermint or cough drop, I have it. Tissues or germ-X, I have that too. Whatever you want chances are I have it my purse. That is also why my purse is the size of a suitcase.

2. I am always cold. No, really.

No matter where I am I am in a sweater. As I am writing this I am wearing a sweater and slippers and it is currently 92 degrees. Most of the time I don't even turn the air on in my car.

3. If you gave something to me, chances are I still have it.

I may not know where it is but i guarantee you that I have it, Including birthday cards.

4. If you seem sad or angry, I assume it is because you're hungry.

In which I then hand you a gingerbread cookie, which I keep in my purse.

5. My biggest celebrity crush is Cary Grant.

The picture says it all!

6. I have "old lady" perfume.

I love it. My meme uses Chantilly and I LOVE the smell


7. I know how to crotchet.

If you ask me nicely, I will probably crochet you a sweater.


8. I am the "mom" friend.

I am the friend who tells you what you do not want to hear. I will tell you that boy is no good, and is trouble. If you want a "mom" opinion and yours can't be reached, I am your girl.

9. Frank Sinatra is my life.

"Come fly with me, lets fly lets fly away" It's my ringtone and favorite song. I can listen to mr. Sinatra all day everyday. It is my happy place.


10. I watch the news every morning and every night.

I start my mornings with the news and end it that way. I like staying informed. i like to know exactly what is happening within the world at all times.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
