34 Days

My birthday is closer than the end of Lent, so I don't think I'm going to give up anything in case I'll want it when I turn 30.

I can't wait to see what's going to happen, cause I've heard whisperings and I think it's going to be good.

I think when I'm 30, I'm going to be more mature.... On Sundays.

I'm not going to have anymore babies until after I'm 30, please don't ask me if I am pregnant, cause I'm not. That was my New Years Resolution... to get through '09 without being 'with child' at all.

They used to say 30 was the new 20, but now they say things like "50 is the new 30" and 40 is the new 25" and other ridiculousness. Thirty is just fine without trying to pretend it's something else. But let's face it, it feels good to have people think you are 8 years younger than you are.

A friend told me that once I turn 30, I stop caring so much what people think about me. I'm beginning that transition. Not because I feel I have to, but there are days when I think that putting so much weight on other's opinion is really exhausting. I rather like being me and am quite happy with my choices, overjoyed in some instances.

I've been trying harder to experience more with friends. I've been out so many times this month and had lots of great times with friends, still want more though : )

I'd like to take a moment to thank those authentic, loving peeps I have. Those who have told it to me like it is over the past few weeks when I really needed it.

Okay, this 29 year old is thirsty and tired... more tomorrow!
