Sadly many of them involve the freedoms afforded adults that you're not allowed as a child such as the freedom to eat s'mores for dinner if that's what you want. Not sure that's TERRIBLY grown up of me, but whatever!<BR/><BR/>CAE, that's what one of my friends told me. He said 29 was no big deal, 30 was no big deal, but that 31 sucks. I'm hoping I get my angst out this year, so I can be happy with 30 and 31ruchihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17043512641324366469noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9203077889905915553.post-8182267516672728292008-06-09T10:49:00.000-07:002008-06-09T10:49:00.000-07:00CAE - I had exactly the same reaction to 31.CAE - I had <I>exactly</I> the same reaction to 31.Chilehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11406176434011890590noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9203077889905915553.post-43926601434492088122008-06-09T10:40:00.000-07:002008-06-09T10:40:00.000-07:00Happy birthday!I turned 31 this year. 30 didn't re...Happy birthday!<BR/><BR/>I turned 31 this year. 30 didn't really bother me, because I got to ski on my birthday and then have a HUGE house party. Also I got to tell my Mum "you realise I'm 30, don't you?" which is very satisfying when she forgets that I'm not actually 15 any more. It was so much more satisfying than saying 29.<BR/><BR/>But 31 was harder. I'm no longer just 30, I'm <I>in my 30s</I>.
