Something big is happening this weekend

If you're new around here, you might not realize what a big deal this weekend is.  No, I'm not talking about the time change.  Although that is a big deal because we lose an hour of sleep and that sucks big time.  I'm actually talking about a birthday.  OK, OK you got me.  It's my birthday.

And it's not just any birthday.  It's the big 3-0.  Goodbye twenties.  Hello thirties.  Am I a little nervous about this birthday?  Yeah.  Can I be honest here?  30 sounds old.  And I know that now every single person who is older than me is going, "Psssshhhhhh.  Please child.  You know nothing about old yet."

But I'm a little scared to be leaving my twenties.  When you are in your twenties and you do stupid stuff, everyone just says, "Eh, she's in her twenties.  She doesn't know any better."  But when you're in your thirties and you do stupid stuff?  Then everyone is all, "Give me a break, she's a real adult now.  She should know better."  And you guys?  I do A LOT of stupid stuff.

I've had quite a few people tell me they enjoyed their thirties a lot more than they did their twenties.  I sure hope they aren't lying to me.  The only option of stopping this train is one I'm even less thrilled about.

I invite you to come back on Monday.  If I'm going to go out, I'm going to go out in style.  We're going to be doing some celebrating and I would love it if you joined me!

  6. I'm loving my 50's now more than I ever did any other age. I am confident, prayerful, grateful, happy, patient, kind, loving, and so much more. I can actually identify with others and love life. I hope you enjoy your birthday and don't fret the 30's. It's the 40's you have to worry about. HAH! Just kidding. Maybe. Have a blessed day!

  7. Hi Kristen, found you through SITS. Don't know if its fate but I clicked cause of the cute dog picture! :) Imagine my surprise when I read your first article, it's your bithday too! Golly, not sure of the time difference (I'm in Manila) but I am turning 33 in about 6mins. March 10 is my birthday, thinking we might share the same date! When I turned 30, I also panicked a bit. So with that, I share with you my turning 30 article. Hope you read it and find useful information. Happy birthday to both of us! :)
