It's Official....I'm Thirty!

My favorite day is finally here, January 12. That means I am officially thirty. To me this is no big deal because I don't feel like I am thirty. Unlike most people my age, I don't have a mortgage or a car payment. I don't have a husband or children. The only person I get to focus on is myself. 

This is my New Year! So today at 6:58 pm, begins my new year. I am going to make this my year. I have a few things that I want to be this year that I hope I can accomplish. I want to get a tattoo. (Sam is going to help me with that in the next week or so.) I want to have my own place, whether its an apartment or a townhouse, Just a place to call my own. And mainly I want to have a REAL job. Not saying I don't like my job now and I do make so great money some days, but I have a degree that is doing nothing but hanging on my wall.

I want to be able to be myself. I am doing a pretty good job of that so far!

This is one of the few baby pictures I have. I was the youngest so after my brother and sister my family was all "camered" out!

 

My First Birthday - 1983

My Second Birthday - 1984

Always a Lover of Cake!

My Fourth Birthday - 1986

Strawberry Shortcake will always be my favorite!

I will always love my birthday though. It's the one day of the year that I can have all to myself. Although there are some great people I share my birthday with, so Happy Birthday to my dearest friend Mr. Ed Anderson. He will be 84 this year. Happy Birthday to my France Friend Tad who is 25. And for Jeremy who got me hooked, Happy Birthday to Howard Stern. And everyone else before and after!

The Final Countdown....7 days and counting.

Well the countdown has begun. There are only 7 more days left until I am no longer in my twenties. It doesn't seem like I am going to be that old. I certainty don't look like I am about to be thirty. I don't have anything special planned for the big day, just dinner with the family and dancing in Nashville with the girls - well Sam anyways. I've ordered my pink, two layer cake, more than enough for the family to eat in over a week. I have some pink glow in the dark balloons and I would love to have 30 pink roses (but I would rather get them for a guy then have to buy them myself).

I've always loved my birthdays and this year will be no exception. People say as you get older that birthdays no longer matter but I think I will always love them. It is the one day of the year I can make everything all about me and not feel conceited :-). 

I do share my birthday with a few people I know. I've known Mr.Anderson since I was a little girl from church. We usually send birthday cards to each other every year.  There is Tad that I met on my trip to France. We are going to meet at Mimi's Cafe for a birthday lunch this year. I am looking forward to that. And of course there is the famous Howard Stern. He is a great interviewer, wish he would give me a job! That would be the best birthday present of all.
