When I was younger I always thought that 30 meant you were old, married, had a boring full time job and kids. Well, 3 outta 4 ain't bad, right? And the whole kids thing? We'll save that for another day.
Some people dread moving onto their 30's. They tell people they will forever be 29. But you know what? I'm not worried about it. In fact I am embracing it. After all, it kind of makes me feel a bit better about some things.
For instance:
- These wrinkles on my forehead? Before I was like, I'm only in my 20's! I shouldn't have wrinkles! Now I can exclaim, yes, I have wrinkles but look at how small they are for being in my 30's!
- My eye sight going down the tubes? When I had to get glasses for night driving I thought it was ridiculous. Only old people need help seeing in the dark. Well, now that I'm 30 it doesn't make me feel bad!
- My forgetfulness? I can now say it is early onset Alzheimers and people MAY actually believe me!!! :)
- The huge bunyon on my right foot? Well, it's genetic. I can't help it. And yes, it looks like my right foot should be attached to an elderly person, well, now that's not so far off!
In order to properly celebrate this momentous occasion we are heading down to Des Moines and renting a party room @ the Cab in West Glen and buying a keg and getting shit faced schnockered. I can definitely still party like I'm in my 20's! (Although the hangovers are a bit worse unfortunately). So for all you suckas who don't know... Check it out.* If you are in Des Moines, or even remotely close to it, I fully expect to see you out Saturday night. We're going to paint the town red! (What exactly does that term even mean?) You definitely will be in for a treat.
I hope to get my freak on:
Take some shots straight out of the bottle (although not this shit, it was nasty!):

Maybe make some new friends:
And possibly even get some of this (although not likely, damn it):
All that would mean I've had A LOT of fun. It's gonna be a good night. So here's to bringing in the 30's in the best way possible: being surrounded by all my drunk friends.
Cheers!
*If you caught that Kris Kross reference you are my new best friend forever.

Shit! 30! Only 40 or 50 more years to live.
Fuck.
Like a fine wine... you only get better with age.
Happy Birthday
Here's to thirty, flirty and fabulous. No joke, I was at a Jimmy Buffet concert a few weeks ago and took a shot of what had to be grain alcohol straight from the bottle of a hammered frat boy. See 30, doesn't mean you have to grow up. I'm 30 and a Mom and I'm dumb enough to drink out of some random dude's bottle.
Looks like a fun time!
Yea! Happy Birthday!!
Happy Birthday!!! (i dread 30 like the plague so I salute your attitude)
Get Crunk!!!

Woo hoo!! You make 30 look friggin awesome! I can't wait to read about your drunk adventures...I'll be there in spirit.
hot diggity DOG! the 30's are pretty damn rad, so live it up on your birthday! i hope you have a blast. and i KNOW you will!
I had my dirty 30 a few months ago. One of the best nights of my life. Honestly, maybe I shouldn't admit this, but I'm having way more fun now than I did when I was 21. Drink one -- or 10 - for me. P.S. I'm visiting Mpls again June 12.
Yay for 30!!! I actually had a HARD time turning the big 30...so my friends threw me a huge surprise party and then it was great until I woke up the next morning!! Hangovers aren't what they used to be!!!!
happy birthday!!!!! have so much fun, I expect a full report Monday morning!
I'll be joining you in 2010....
happy birthday!!!!
Happy Birthday! and I adore you. you make me feel better about turning 30. my girlfriends are the friends that like to say they are 25 forever so I'm stuck in that mentality too.

Honestly I thought 29 sucked and it was a really hard year. It was like all those big life questions were hanging over my head....
...then I turned 30 and you know what? It did not bother me at all. If fact what I learned is that yes 30 is the new 20. Yes I am still immature and it's not only ok but the only way to live. And I realized I may be 30 but I am still awesome. Fine maybe me and my mom are the only one that thinks I'm awesome but that is fine with me.
Seriously 30 is good. Welcome to the club.
Happy Birthday!!
When you were born, I was almost 11.
That means in 4 more years I will have sex for the very first time.
I can't wait...this is so exciting.
Holy shit...totally confused the fuck out of myself.
See? This shit is what happens when you hit 40.
Happy Birthday.
LOL! Those pictures are priceless!
Age ain't nothin' but a number! ;)
Have fun and Happy Birthday!!
Best turning 30 post EVER. I just fell in love with you even MORE, if possible.
And I am so stealing all those feel-goods for when I hit the big 20-10 in a few years...
Congratulations!
I've had a really good time reading through your blog posts.
happy belated!
Happy Birthday DOLL!! Welcome to club 30!!
I hope your birthday was marvelous!!!
Eek, happy birthday! For the first time in my life, I have a reason to want to go to Des Moines. Unfortunately, I'm stuck on the other side. Next time, though :)
Hope you had a great one!
P.S. I've had wrinkles since I was 21.
I hope you had a great birthday!!!!! 30 is the new 20 I hear or at least, that's what I tell myself each morning that I wake up a 32 year old (I'm still 21 in my head!).
