On 30

Once again it has been a while since I've blogged so I figured with some things coming up (cough my30thbirthday cough) it was time to sit and blog.

Sooooooooo, turning 30.

Do I feel old?  Not really.  Honestly I still feel like a dumb teenager who has no idea what the hell I'm doing sometimes.  I ask myself frequently when I'm going to feel like a grown up.  I have a husband, a house, a job, 2 cars, A SON. . . .aren't I supposed to feel like an adult yet?  I guess when I was younger I thought there was a point in life where it all clicks and suddenly you are this worldly adult with all the answers.  One of the big things I realize as I get older is how dumb I was in the previous year.  Ha! I guess that's life though.  Live and learn.  While I do know I'm getting a bit wiser; I still feel like a kid sometimes, but at least I know I'm growing.

Am I freaking out?  Really I think my only response to turning 30 has been to be a little braver with my clothing choices.  I do realize that some day I may not be as firm as I am now, so I'm trying to tell my doubty self in the mirror that "You DO look good!  Wear that tight shirt!"  It's been hard, especially after having a baby when your body changes so much.  I was pretty unhappy with my self image after I had Bean, but now 18 months later I'm starting to feel comfy in my skin again.  So after 2 years of not buying anything for myself, it's been nice the past few months to pick up an item for myself here and there.  I actually bought a bikini for our vacation after I swore I'd never wear them after having a baby.

I'm really not sure what else to say on the matter. . . .watch out 30, here I come. . .in a tight shirt and bikini. :-)
