So, YouTube Tuesday and my birthday coincide today. Whoop-de-doo. Another year older. I like Alan Jackson's song, "Remember When"; there's a line in there that goes, "Remember when thirty seemed so old, Now lookin' back it's just a steppin' stone," Never were there truer words spoken.
When the big 3-0 happened, a friend of mine said, "Turning 30 just gives you more street cred. Welcome to the Dark Side!" Though I am just barely dipping my toe in the waters of 30-something, I love being "in my 30s". Turning 30 was a big panic attack for me. Not the same as 20. For some reason, at that age, you're more excited to be in your "20s". I let 30 loom at me and kick my trash. 30 stomped all over me and left me huddled in a small ball, humming nonsense to myself. Here's what I told 30.
So bring it on! I'm ready! Hit me with your best shot! (no, I'm not putting up a pat benetar vid)
**that last vid is from 'dr. horrible's sing-along blog'. super duper show. go --> here <-- to start it. it's three acts.

Indeed ... seems so long ago ... may 40, 50, and beyond find you laughing, hopeful and standing tall ... Happy Birthday ...
Happy Happy Birthday, friend! Wish I were close enough to make you a cake!
Love you! xoxo
P.S. The word verification is "hosers" and that makes me so much happier than it should :)
Total discrimination! Your youtube vids are NOT available in my country groooooaaann.. but I get the idea.
Personally.. no birthday has fazed me.. until I realised I would be turning 45 this year and could be classified as middle aged..cripes! Got to go.. time for my tummy tuck and botox.
Finally got the web to cooperate better - I tried to comment earlier and it would not work :(
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! I hope your kiddos gave you lots of love and hugs and hard to decipher homemade birthday cards :) 30's are so tough, and you know what, 40 didn't hurt either. Like you say, bring it on. Life is good!
I meant, 30's are NOT so tough... and I can't even blame my poor typing on age, I've always been haphazard!
