Being an Adult is FUN

Posted on 03/13/202204/19/2025 by Mark

I pay bills. I have a mortgage. I have retirement accounts.

I make sure our bank accounts are balanced so we know how much money we don’t have.

I call people to fix things.

I have an electric lawnmower and edger and enjoy making my lawn look and smell good.

I cook, I clean, and I do laundry.

I own a car and make sure it gets oiled, gassed, inspected, and registered.

I eat food that sometimes doesn’t agree with me, but I keep eating because it’s delicious.

Sometimes, I eat like a 5-year-old.

I have prescription eyeglasses.

I take prescription medications.

I have a fulltime job and have been with the same employer for 15 years.

I have a wife.

I have a child.

I read books on my Kindle.

I use Google and Wikipedia to research stuff that I want to know more about.

If I can get past step 1, I can usually build something from IKEA.

Hi, I am Mark. I started writing in 2011 about high school football, daddy blogging since 2015, and reviewing books since 2023. My writing style is unique, my sense of humor is a little crazy, and I’m not embarrassed to share any of it. You can email me at thedadspeaks@icloud.com.
