Thirty

I am 30. As of 12:13am, I became old. I loved my 20s. There was college, beginning teaching, my master's, finally being out on my own, building a house, and getting married. I accomplished a lot in a decade! In anticipation of this day, I had a lot of mixed feelings - most of them not exactly happy. I think of the Friends episode when they show the 30th bday parties of all the friends and Joey just keeps yelling "WHY GOD?!? WHY ME?!??" That's the one I related to the most!!! But now that it's here, it's not so bad. I'm still the youngest teacher at my school and I hang around with 8 year olds all day - if that doesn't keep you young, then I don't know what will. Although some days I leave school and I feel about 100!! T will always be more than a year older than me - and so will Mimi! :) So I'm still the youngest of my peer group! I'm expecting to have lots more big events and things happen in this decade. More fun to come! Even though the last time that I had my palm read, she said that something traumatic would happen later in my 30s. That was happy news. Whatever, hopefully she was high on incense or something and got my lines crossed. She also told me that I would have one child. That is happiness to me! I guess now I'm really an adult. I know there's lots of other October bdays out there in my circle of friends - happy bdays all around!! :)
