ahahahaaa


(first birthday, 30 years ago. gah. But look at how young mumsy was there!)
Ok I can OFFICIALLY say my birthday is in "less than 2 weeks". Hope you planned ahead. (I am looking at you mister. The mail takes awhile.)
Turning 31 is a little more urpy that 30.
I now say such things as "Pull up your pants" "Turn down that music" "Those aren't technically pants" and I am compelled to watch 30-something to see if I relate.
I carry my "get off my lawn" to committee meetings.
When buying concert tickets I assess how late it will let out and if its past my bedtime.
and I tsk. I TSK. often.
I shake my head in disapproval at young kids on the T acting up. I look for other old people and give them that knowing nod.

Ha! I do that too.
I look at people my age and wonder...
I also hear myself speak and say that "when I was younger, we did not ...like they do now "
I complain a lot, I hate the bars staying up late and preventing me to get sleep... If I am like this right now, I will be a total hag by 60.

I say turn down that music, pull up those pants, and where is your shirt quite often as well. I don't take it as a sign of aging, but a sign of caring for the future generations . . . and your rent is cheap for downtown Boston! Hence the shittiness/smallness I suppose.

I had unwed parents who were teenagers! I am glad they were though. My parents are only 50 and 51!
I tease about it but I am proud of my blue collar background. While we may not of had a lot we didn't have debt and we owned everything we had.

Hey me too! Ok, well........my parents were the classic scenario. My 17 year old mother hid her pregnancy for 6 months or so and when she finally told my grandparents, their reply was "And when's the wedding?" SHOTGUN!!!!!!!

My parents were married in April. I was born in June. Yee haw. :P

My dad was 21 when I was born, though. So lets see.........that makes my dad 54 and my mom is 51 I think. I'm bad at math.
