As today marks the 30th anniversary of my birth, I figured I’d list out a few things I’m excited about. There’s no real rhyme or reason to the list, just the ramblings of my scatterbrained mind.
- Hopefully, most of my stupid young mistakes are out of the way.
- I’m finally at an age where I realize it’s important to take care of ME.
- That pesky starter marriage is out of the way.
- I now feel old enough to be a mom. (yes, I have a 7yr old, what’s your point?)
- I get to reminisce about my crazy 20’s guilt-free.
- 5 more years and I can run for president.
- I can officially be annoyed about the teenage-style breakouts I invariably get every month. (BOOOOO!)
- My neighbors might hate me less cause I’m no longer a “young whippersnapper” that they feel threatened by.
- I will get fewer weird looks by declining events based on parking accommodations, size of crowd, food served. (cause now I’m an old fart)
- My son still thinks I’m beautiful.
- I have a fantastic fiance and a lovely home.
- Sometime in my thirties, I will stop being lazy and marry Mr. Awesome.
- I have a fantastic group of friends, and I know what to expect out of each of them.
- I have mastered the art of never running out of toilet paper.
- I get to use the phrase “When I was young….”
- I’m one year closer to Menopause and the end of periods!
- Your thirties are when women hit their sexual prime. (right?)
- I’m finally 30! The dreaded day has come and I’m still here!
- I’m old enough to know how to talk to my child about difficult subjects.
- I actually feel more confident in the decisions that I make, solely based on age & experience.
- I’m a freaking awesome crafter and I will only get better.
- I’m willing to pay more for quality items.
- I understand and accept that nothing is given to you in life, everything is earned.
- I love my job (most of the time) and am proud of my professional accomplishments.
- That nagging self image problem gets a little better every year.
- My current emotion of the minute does not rule my life (most of the time).
- I’m not afraid to fail.
- I’m confident that if I had to, I could change a tire.
- I hope that the added years will make it easier to forgive and forget.
- I am comfortable in my own skin. For the most part, I always have been. I’ve never really been afraid voice the unpopular opinion and I have mastered the “f*ck off face”, but I’m trying to use it less and less.
Thank you to everyone who has sent birthday wishes, and I hope you all have a fantastic day!
