As a kid, my mom always bought Log Cabin syrup to eat with our waffles and pancakes.  I never understood why she never got Mrs. Butterworth’s because it tasted so much better.  It was thicker.  I mean, come on!  It ALREADY had the butter in it!  How cool is that?  So now as an adult, I buy the good stuff.  It doesn’t come in a glass bottle anymore, but unbreakable plastic in the same form, which I guess is just as good. 

As a kid, when you ordered a fountain drink, it was prepared for you.  Now you get your own cup and you can have whatever blend of mixed drinks you want!  So now as an adult, I always throw in a splash of something else – just cuz I can.  My favorite so far is fruit punch, a splash of water because it’s always too sweet, Sprite and sometimes a splash of lemonade! 

My mom also always had hard sticks of butter that would destroy toast and rolls, so for a long time I bought tubs of margarine and enjoyed the nice even way it spread, but the little crumbs that fall in that tub really annoy me.  Since we bake and cook with the butter sticks, it’s been a while since I got a tub of anything easily spreadable, but I’m thinking some King’s Hawaiian Sweet Bread would be magnificent with my cup of hot cocoa here. 

My point is… there are things that I do now that is slightly off-track from the way it was done for me as a kid.  Little things, but these little decisions are what I think of every so often and make me go You see?  I actually >>>AM<<< an adult!  Because for the most part, I still feel like I haven’t grown up yet.

11) There are very few things that can’t be made better without adding some sparkles to it.
