A very sad day.

So when the alarm went off this morning, I was so sad. I laid there thinking that it was the last day I would be waking up in my 20's. Of course, I don't turn 30 until after 10 am, but most people just assume it's their birthday once it's midnight. I assume this will be the same kind of thing.

So, I am sad today. I didn't think I would feel this way about turning 30 but I don't want to get any older. I don't want to go back and be a teenager again or anything either. I just don't want to leave the 20s. I have (for the most part) enjoyed this decade. It has been full of many different experiences: college, grad school, first job, second job, third job, fourth job; no boyfriend, boyfriend who turned into fiance, back to single, hazy area, outlaw boyfriend, friend who is a boy, who becomes boyfriend, who becomes fiance, who becomes husband; no child to one child; and so on.

The 30s are going to be pretty banal. I look at everyone else in their 30s and they talk about house payments, car insurance, day care, etc. It's not as exciting as it was in the 20s. I don't know. Maybe that is a harsh judgement, but I don't see the 30s glorified the same way that the 20s are in the media. I am scared to turn 30. I hope it's not lame. If you have any advice on turning 30, I am all ears.

Hey Negative Nellie, age is just number, its your attitude towards life that matters. Think positive the AARP magazine is decades away!

I'm going to tell you what's going to happen when you turn thirty:

The sun will come up, you'll go to work, you'll still be married, you'll still have a kid, and you'll look exactly the same.

Wow.

Hey, no "e" in "judgment". Just saying.

Who is your best friend?
