4. you have hosted a party in your garrage
5. you decorate your house for Marti Gras
6. you take a large stick with you when you go out for a walk
7. you have shared your bed with cockroaches
8. you have a humongous fluffy tool wreath on your door
9. your nike running shorts are worn for everyday apparel
10. your baby boy has a plad jumper with something cheesy embroidered on it
11. you start to use checks instead of a credit card
12. you pay someone to mow your lawn (and fertilize it with stuff that is dyed green so your lawn looks green)
13. you walk your dog from your car
14. you use bbq sauce in place of spaghetti sauce
15. your parting phrase is "have a blessed day"
