My 20's are ending. Soon. Technically 3 1/2 hours til I exactly turn 30. 3 hours if you consider midnight the change. May be sooner if I continue to feel so sleepy and just call it a day (or a decade) soon here.

I wish I was doing something more exciting rather than sitting on my couch blogging on my laptop.

I have given serious thought to a tattoo and will continue to think about it. But it isn't something I want to rush into. Since, after all, it is permanent.

Something happened tonight that has just taken my heart and shaken it up. It's all lopsided and off-center and screwy right now. And I don't like it. I want to forget it ever happened. My heart feels confused, and I don't want to end my 20's this way. I wish I could just snap out of it, but I'm struggling.

I'm feeling exhausted. I've been incredibly stressed and emotionally exhausted this week. So much to do. So much going on.

I just wish I wasn't alone tonight.

The good news is that my scheduled jury duty for tomorrow has been canceled! Hooray!!! Can you imagine having to serve jury duty on your birthday?! So wrong!

OK! I've made up my mind! I'm going to pop in The Sound of Music - the movie that brought me into the world 30 years ago! How perfect. We'll see if I can stay awake for it all!

Goodbye, 20's. Hello, 30. Yikes!

Got 5 1/2 minutes? My pastor posted this on his site. Watch it.

Only 3 more days left in my 20's. Gulp!

I need suggestions on how I should spend my last couple few days of my 20's and suggestions on what I should do on my 30th Birthday.

During the day Thursday the plan is to serve jury duty. What a great way to spend my birthday (she said sarcastically)! But then I have the evening. I'll be with Josh; I just don't know what I want to do or where I want to go.

Suggestions please?!?

1. Sleep in.
2. Wear brown velour sweatsuit.
3. Get picked up by my dad.
4. Eat a healthy lunch with parents.
5. Shop at Dollar Tree & Meijer.
6. Enjoy a nonfat, sugar-free cinnamon dolce from Starbucks.
7. Put together centerpieces for birthday party.
8. Clean my apartment.
9. Get my guest bedroom ready for overnight guests.
10. Offer to make my boyfriend a meal. But that can wait til tomorrow. A not so lazy Sunday.


Me and Dad at Meijer. I was so excited to see the spill stopper plug thingies that the Texas Starbucks had. Dad was just ready to go home and nap by this point. Ha ha.
