It's my birthday and I'll cry if I want to . . .
Thursday, August 31, 2006
Yesterday was "the big day." It sucked for the most part. As reccomended, I did make my own celebration by scheduling a massage over during my lunch break. That was the highlight of the day.
I now understand why people don't really celebrate birthdays after age 30. I hadn't planned on living a rock star life with big birthday bashes each year, but I had high hopes for 30. I didn't have high expectations - just hopes. And actually, the hopes weren't that high at all. So my birthday was just sad. Admittedly it could have been worse.
Today was much better. And tomorrow is Friday! What's after that? One guess - vacation! Tonight is for finishing research, laundry and shopping. Tomorrow is for packing and saying see ya later to our puppies. Normally, I'm nervous about vacations until I've landed at my destination. This time I'm already getting excited.
Sweet dreams; goodnight.

Forever 21 - not Forever 29

My mom can't remember what time I was born. She's pretty sure it was at night though, and I seem to recall stories about it nearly being the next day. There was a family pool (money was involved) so it mattered which day I arrived. That's the story I recall, and if it's true then I'm entering the last 24hrs of my 29th year.
Longtime friends and family can attest that I'm not all that bothered by my new decade. Others would disagree. Last fall I came up with a must-do list (must do by tomorrow). It was a list of items I missed doing at one point or another in my life - mostly due to fear. I accomplished some items on the list, others will come later, and the rest I've forgotten. I should have written them down. I guess the forgotten weren't that important in the first place.
The only "issue" I'm currently have with turning 30 is the implication that I should not wear certain things or do certain things. Glamour magazine loves to do this, and I think it was last month's Glamour that said no MySpace after age 30. I'm just going to ingore it all. I suppose if this means I end up on What Not to Wear then so be it. I can easily spend $5k. Oh, and be sure to visit me at MySpace!
