Birthday Blues
So today is my birthday party, and since I am banned from the kitchen, I am stuck in the living room. My birthday, as many of you already know is actually Monday, but since people work... we are celebrating today.
Which brings me to the point, I am really freaked out by being 28. People laugh when I say this, but I really do feel impending doom. Okay maybe it's not doom, but maybe trepidation. ha ha ha
I think that this hesitation is caused by Taryn (my step-mom). Sorry Taryn, but I think it's your fault. :) When my dad and Taryn got married (16 years ago) she was 28! Totally an adult, responsible and old enough to be married to my dad! He was OLD, or so I thought; really he was in his mid-thirties, in the best shape of his life, had a totally awesome bachelor pad and drove the "fine German touring car". Really, he was a catch! :) But that isn't the point... the point is that I am rapidly becoming my parents' age.
Where has my life gone? It is a slippery slope to 30 from here!
Afterthoughts:
1. Taryn, I think you are great. And I am glad to be 28 if that makes me more like you!
2. It is funny that Halleigh is going to think of me as old someday.
3. I would rather be my parents' age than the alternative... worm dirt.
Oh to be 28 again!! In fact, if I could be any age, it would be 28. Enjoy it because you'll be 45 before you know it and be thinking about approaching 50. Talk about impending doom! Hope you're having a great time. Happy 28th Birthday!
I feel your pain. I'll be 30 in March and boy, it really is a reality check! Happy birthday, friend!

Google the above information and see what Mr. Mullis has to say about 28 year old women. (some math is required) I believe it to be true.
