by sassychick ~ Most of you know the big change in store for me this year. I'm turning thirty. Let me start by saying for those of you annoyed that this is a big deal for me, BLESS YOUR HEART.
This is a big deal for me. I don't want to turn thirty. I don't feel thirty. I don't act thirty and it just really feels like I'm closing the BIG door on being young.
Therefore, as of January 1, 2009, I have begun "THE YEAR OF THIRTY". This is my coping mechanism. This is the way I will survive. I have a list. All of which need to be completed by June, 2 2009 and approx 12:01 a.m. Don't judge me.
1. I need to be tan. Not kinda tan. Really tan. Tan enough that you don't IMMEDIATELY focus on the stretch marks that litter my body like tiny land mines screaming, "THIS WOMAN HAD TWO KIDS AND GAINED 200LBS IN THE PROCESS". It kind of like corrective shading.
2. I want to be a solid size 8/10. Why is that? Because I feel like if I get that thin, then the belly that my kids DESTROYED won't sag as much and won't be a constant reminder that I need to rob a bank and get $25,000 for a mommy makeover. Sassy Rooster does not agree that this expenditure is fiscally responsible with the current economic climate. I believe that this should be part of the financial bailout. Available to every woman who has had a kid. It would make me a more "confident consumer".
3. I would like learn how to go through an entire day without wanting to caress a breadstick.
4. I want my husband to look at me, without laughing, and say, "You don't look thirty, I think this is the best you've ever looked."
5. I want to be whistled at by a contruction worker.
6. I want someone to say, don't worry about what you want to do for your career, you're still young.
7. I don't want to hear, not one time, "You look good, FOR YOUR AGE"
8. I want Social to create a new church group for 30-39 year olds called, YHYWLAOYBYY. (You have your whole life ahead of you, because your young)
9. I want Dr. 90210 to call me up and say, "Because you are so nice, we have decided to MAKE YOU BEAUTIFUL, for FREE. I don't even care if he does his weird karate/kickboxing/gold chain wearing/ weirdo moves first.
10. I want to stop having acne. Because if Father time INSISTS on making us old, there has to be SOME advantages.
11. I want to enjoy drinking water. Because I dont. I enjoy Diet Coke which apparently could kill me.
12. I want to start a workout program regularly. I hear it's good for you. It might help this problem I have when I avoid going upstairs to clean because I'll be out of breath when I get there.
13. I want to ski dive. This was my 21st birthday present to myself, which I couldn't actually use because I was 35 weeks pregnant on that bday and apparently the doctor was being OVERLY cautious and recommended I put it off.
14. I want to take dance classes, because in my mind, I believe I could totally win dancing with the stars. Except I'm not a star. Tiny road bump.
15. I want to go out and not start yawning at 10pm. Just sayin.
I am also turning 30 this year. And I hear you on everything single thing on your list. Its just not fair that the numbers change on us even if we are not ready.

sorry about the double post. I still can't figure out these laptops.

I don't know how you feel but I will be there before you know it. Remember I said that 30 is the new 20. You don't look 30 nor do you act it.
We are going to have a new group called B&B's Bold and Beautiful

I wish I could switch places with you!!!!! This year is a milestone for me too and I'm a decade ahead of you. I still insist that I'm only 28. But then the math works out that I was only 13 when I had my first child.
I haven't come up with a coping tool yet. I might steal your idea. Thanks!

I turned 30 a few weeks ago. It's not that bad. ;)
By the way, our church has a Young Adults group that includes ages 18-39... so you've got a few years left. LOL

You, Sassy, are in fine form. A happy heart will keep you young, so you are going to be just fine. Thank for always making me laugh.
