Turning 30....

So.... I turned 30 yesterday.... I thought I was so ready to make the big change, but as it turned out.. I was wrong (it's been known to happen from time-to-time....) I really want to embrace the new decade- a new "matureness" if you will, but when I woke up yesterday, all I could imagine was how my younger, 20- something self would see me now- married, 2 kids, looking like every other 30 year old woman... how boring??!!
Although, I try to be as "hip" as I can, I know my 20-something self would freak if she knew I sometimes wear my slippers to preschool- hello.... where are the Manolo's?? Not saying I am "frumpy" by any means- it's just that my 20-something self was a different person. It's hard to leave her behind.
What's a "woman" to do? Ahh-Ha- I bring her along for the ride- it's me, but better.... so now I am going to embrace the 30's (still don't like the sound of that- but I am trying...) I am leaving part's of my 20's behind (for good reason...) but am bringing the spunky, high heel friend with me :) I don't have to shop at Chadwick's, I can still be that "cool" mom, only now I will be "sexy" because of my new found "matureness." I can do it- I can be 30, a Mommy, and flaunt around in my heels. I hope to inspire new 30-somethings all around me....

Me at 30

Ahh... the power of Facbebook.... through facebook, I have gotten in touch with a girl that was my BFF in highschool. Sadly, we drifted apart after graduation and haven't really talked for about 9 years!! Wow! Anyway, we have been emailing one another now, and to my wonderful surprise yesterday, I had 4 dozen roses sent to my house... from HER! No one has ever taken me by surprise that way- it made my day, that's for sure :) They are beautiful..... thanks, Dee :)

Was just bored here...
