It’s been brought to my attention that I’ll be turning 30 in less than FIVE MONTHS. Not only does the calendar tell me this, but I’ve started doing some really alarming things.
Let’s review:
- I have started calling all females, ‘gals’. We’re really in trouble when I start calling guys, ‘fellows’
- I injured myself just by getting into my car yesterday
- I’ve told everyone about this injury.
- I’m now blogging about this injury
- I’ve begun worrying about whether I need to wear a slip when I wear a dress. I can assure you, that the first 28 1/2 years of my life, I never worried about a slip. Now that I’m 29 1/2? I’m wondering about it right now (I’m wearing a dress today)
- I’ve started thinking about trading my beloved red sports car in for Something More Economical.
- I’ve forgotten what the hell this post is about to begin with.
Now, please excuse me. I’m off to Target to stock up on Metamucil before BlogHer.

I could write a very similar post to this and I am only 23. Scary. Perhaps we should both do something youthful quickly!
Hmm…I also believe only old people say youthful. Darn. I mean damn!
I feel so old.

Being in your thirties is WAY AWESOMER than being in your twenties, minus the need to sleep more, forgetfulness and inability to drink like you used to.
I swear!

But your 30s will be awesome!
And also, you’ll start hating loud bars and concerts because HELLO! I can’t talk over this noise!

DITTO to Kristabella.
I think that started as soon as I hit 27 though.

Uh oh, better get some ginko biloba while you’re at Target to help that memory problem!! haha
Just think, I’m in my (eek gads) 40′s! I think that means I should start looking for funeral plots! :-)

I only wear slips for either one of two conditions: a) the skirt/dress is way-too-sheer and see-through or b) the skirt/dress literally itches my ass.

Too funny! 30 hurt for the first few months. Then it suddenly kicked in that 30something will be be OK…unless you still think it’s going to be OK to eat ice cream out of the container for dinner every night. Then it’s a bit painful…squeezing into a skirt with the extra layer of slip fabric.

Your 30s are going to be great!
And I have no idea about when you’re supposed to wear a slip or why, so my vote is to just skip that and spend the money on shoes.

You’re turning 30? P-shaw! You’re not starting to get old until you’re my age (47). I’m starting to collect AARP catalogs and clipping coupons for senior meal discounts. :-)

30 was fine– it is 31 that has tried to kill me ( hearing loss, the big bad C and arthritis). I assure you I was completely healthy before 31 crept up on me. So don’t worry apparently you are not old til you hit 31 (or as i say 21-10)
