Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

I'm having a hard time believing that my little baby Leif is going to be four in a few days.

Amazing.

Now tagless for your comfort.

My 20's were good. 30's were ok (considering I'm halfway through). I think I'm going to really enjoy my 40's.

One thing about this board, is that I SUCK at guessing people's ages from their posts.

Mmm. I missed a call on my cell phone from Miami, FL. I don't know anyone in Miami. And the voicemail was in Spanish. I don't speak Spanish. This is following up a few weeks ago when I got several repeat phone calls on my cell from a Spanish speaking woman who KEPT CALLING BACK, even though I answered and told her repeatedly, "No abla Espanol." *sigh*

31? Depressing as shit. No idea why.

That happened to me, too! Thirty was an awesome dinner with the boyfriend, going to a piano bar afterward and then to a Sevillana bar to watch the dancing. Thirty-one? I don't even remember. Didn't want it to happen and refused to acknowledge it. I just know it made my grumpy.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Yup yup yup. Like Steph, I am a total birthday whore. I love my birthday. Last year, I had to be FORCED to celebrate it. Totally out of character for me.

Thrive to spite them

My birthdays are usually low key affairs. Just dinner out and maybe a movie or something, being the loner I am.

My thirties are way better than my twenties for a variety of reasons. I was glad to turn 30 because after that no one can say "are 29 again?" or some such variation of that.

I'll be 33 in 11 days. !!!!! I'm a little freaked out about this but I'm not sure why.

Because books.

Turning 30 was kind of a blur -- we were out in Wyoming and faced with moving back east unexpectedly, and Ben was only two months old. I think I mostly packed that day.

Next year is 40, and I'm excited about it. I feel like my forties are going to be a lot better than my thirties.

Like Steph, I am a total birthday whore.

I am, too, although they rarely live up to my unreasonable expectations of National Holiday! and I got a pony! and Presents and Cake and Happiness All! Day! Long!

What is even happening?

One thing about this board, is that I SUCK at guessing people's ages from their posts.

In my head, everyone here is 28 until I find out otherwise.

My father usually ruins mine talking about his death. I shit you not. Because he was...21? when I was born and every year I get older reminds how far he is from that, and apparently? Not much else. That's fricking festive!

I still have a few more years until I'm 30. Which is good, considering I think I was around 21 when I started posting.
