I'm 30

Well, folks--it happened. I turned 30 yesterday. I'm not sure how I feel about it yet.

The following is a list of "age-appropriate" activities for 30 yr. olds.

I can now:

...go to Macy's and try on a few holiday themed cardigan sweaters.
...buy a coordinating pin to go with the sweater.
...take a fiber laxative (but only after I purchase it using a manufacturer's coupon).
...buy myself a new, age appropriate swimsuit.
...test drive my dream mini-van...oh wait, I already own it.
...order a nice, new pair of mom-jeans from JC Penney or Sears.
...treat myself to a short, easy-to-manage haircut.
...clean my house to the soothing sounds of Kenny G, and other favorites from Lite FM100.
...have my kids teach me how to take a picture using my cell phone.
...purchase TUMS in bulk from Costco
...buy a pair of nylons to wear with my open-toe sandals

After reading through this list, I have to tell you that the thing that gives me the MOST satisfaction, is that between February of this year, and November of 2009, the following people will all have joined with me in this new "30's" club: my bro-in-law Michael, my cousin Michael, my sis-in-law Melece, my sis-in-law Becky, my sis-in-law Elizabeth, my sis-in-law Cherish, my cousin Heidi, my friends Tricia, Cami, and Melanie, and my brother Tyler.

Red-rover, red-rover, OUR young years are over...and teenagers everywhere think WE are old.
