Ok- to some it may not be a BIG deal (it is just another birthday afterall)...and to some it's a HUGE deal- no more Twentysomething...I'm rather- eh about it. It seems like such an "adult age" and I really don't feel mature enough to sport it. I think there must be some unwritten universal rules of turning 30... I suddenly feel the urge to wear SPF in my moisturizer (note the first urge to even WEAR moisturizer), feel the need to schedule a mammogram (jk!), am seriously considering an aerobics class (and not caring how riduculous I look) and think carpools are the greatest invention on earth. OK- so maybe I will be able to "sport" the 30's ... I seem to be on my way to 50 at this rate. (no offense to the...uh... more- experienced -at- life readers).
30 days ago my inlaws showed up at my door bearing two laundry baskets full of gifts. My mom decided to give me 30 gifts (1 each day) for 30 days until my 30th birthday. It has been a lot of fun to have a gift to open each day- anything from toilet paper and toothpaste, to pillowcases (embroidered by my mom) and a garlic press! Thanks, mom, it was very thoughtful of you and fun too!Brad (semi) surprised me with a birthday party too - very unlike him mind you (which makes it even better! ;) Of course, it's all but impossible to throw a complete surprise party when the person you're surprising is in the house all day long... so I knew SOMETHING was up. He told me "some people" were coming over. 31 people to be exact (a lot of them were under 4 feet tall too! ;) It was crowded, noisy, messy and perfect. I didn't know I had that many friends ;) Thanks, sweetheart- your time is coming!! ;)
Here's to 30- mammograms and all !!
