so friday was my 30th birthday. i had some issues with it as i think i have written about on previous blogs. i stayed up on thursday night until midnight and i know this is going to sound pitiful, but i actually cried when it hit midnight. dumb, i know, especially since i wasn't born until 1:30am on 7/28/76 and that was phx time. but i woke up friday morning, put on my frida khalo t-shirt (since i figured that if anyone didn't give a rat about their 30th birthday, it would be her) and went about my day. i met with a bride first thing, went to the retired ladies home where i have been working on a photo project, had lunch with jason and then went to target, tipsy. yep, i was parked at target and jason dropped me off after i had a bomber sized corona at lunch. i highly recommend. i got to sober up while debating tiki torches or citronella candles. good times. sunday we had a big bbq in the backyard of our current house. which made it kind of a goodbye party as well as b-day party. but now i feel better about 30. i do feel like i've accomplished something and i also feel a slight divide between me and the 20-somethings that work here at the paper. but i guess that is ok. maybe the phrase should be changed to "don't trust anyone UNDER 30!"
thanks to everyone for the calls, emails and cards. it made the day great!

Welcome to the 30 and over club! It really is kinda fun. :) You have accomplished a lot in your life. I am glad the Corona helped. I don't think I have ever been to Target tipsy. I just may have to try that some day.
Hey, no complaining... every day I'm getting closer to 33 and not happy about it!!
Erica,
You are almost to the age of Christ! Woot-woot!
The age thing doesn't bother me ... yet. And the gray hairs don't bother me ... yet.
Scott,
What a cool way to look at it. I'm going to remember that.
thanks scott, you definitely put it in the right perspective. i had no idea you were a blog reader!
