The other day, I was talking to a friend, and she asked if I was excited about next weekend.
Next weekend. Hmm. The last day of school? (I'm a teacher) HECK YES! The premiere of "SATC 2"? You bet!
No, she replied. Your 30th birthday.
Gulp. In the tornado of grading, Europe planning, Florida planning, working out, etc - I FORGOT THAT I TURN 30 NEXT FRIDAY!
Now don't get me wrong - I am actually looking forward to this milestone. It will commence a decade of home-ownership, children, traveling and general personal and professional advancement (hopefully). Just like Samantha Jones, I am going to grab 30 by the "cajones" and say, "HELLO WORLD. I'M 30!" (Except she was referring to 40...)
And in traditional birthday form, I leave you today with my birthday wish list - the top 5 things I'd LOVE to receive on my birthday. I don't typically do anything special for my birthday or make a huge deal of it, but something tells me that if there's any year to enjoy the love, it's 30!
5. A Garmin watch. I have one of the older models and it's just too bulky. Lately, I've taken to tracking my time with my iPhone, but it's a total pain.
4. These adorable party dresses from Modcloth. Because every birthday girl needs a big and bold frock to match the celebration. I know my hubby has something up his sleeve, but I don't know what it is just yet:)
3. A lot of cupcakes. Because they make the world go round. Well, at least my world:)
(George is totally my fave!)
2. A trip to Greece. Because this is next on my list after Europe, and hey, a girl can dream!
1. This gorgeous loft. Because while others dream of big backyards where the kids and dogs can frolic, I dream of exposed brick and timber beams.
What's on YOUR wish list???
P.S. Since I will be traveling for several weeks in June, I am looking for some guest bloggers!!! I would be honored if you'd consider submitting a post - it could be a great way to gain some new readership and share your amazing blogs and talents! Please e-mail me if you are interested for more details - perfectcompilationtape@gmail.com

ReplyDeleteGirl, since I'm new to your blog I'm allowed to say I love it. And don't feel bad...I forgot my birthday's coming up in about twelve days...a few days after yours, so you're just a tad older than me. ;) haha!!! Gemini's are the best!!! :) Would love to go to Greece too...or just find ways to embrace life even more.
ReplyDeleteHave a great day.
I'm pretty new to your blog, so HAPPY BIRTHDAY in advance :) I think 30 deserves birthday WEEK.
ReplyDeleteAnd now I can't wait to go to Greece, oh how I could use a beach with some blue blue water!
Happy weekend!
For me 30 wass terrific and it just kept getting better after that! I hope that 30 will be the same for you.

ReplyDeleteI'm wising for one thing...a vacay with the hubs. Somewhere stress free. Ahhhhhh, sweet sweet dream. Happy early bday!
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday in advance! The Lakota say the White Man places too much importance on one day of the year and not enough on each day.
ReplyDeleteThey could have a point. Have a great each day of the year!
