Today I'm cleaning. The kitchen cupboards are ridiculous. I mean... seriously, I don't know where anything is and nothing makes sense. So the project for today is to clean them out and organize things in some sane way.
I'm also going to paint a book, but there will be pictures of that when it's done.
Did I mention that today I'm 30?
I had the realization (at 7:30 this morning) that I was not exactly where I wanted to be when I considered 30 at 25... but I'm closer then I really thought I would be.
I survived divorce, being a single mom, the wilds of dating, and managed to keep all of my friends and stay relatively sane in the process. I am happily married to a great guy who actually wants to be married to me because - amazingly, he likes ME and I rather like him too. I didn't have another baby, but still have managed to add 2 more kids to the mix who make life an adventure. I live in a pretty little house that has character... and pets.
I still stay up too late. I still forget anything not written down. I still wear my sunglasses on my head rain or shine. I still sew things rather then take meds to make me happy. I still write songs that I like. I still read 3 books at the same time. I still want to be six.
Really, there are only two things I've not managed to accomplish... those last 15 pounds have multiplied. And I'm not a rock star. I guess I'll survive... I mean, I could get those taken care of by 40!
By the way. It's my mom's birthday too. She's older then me by 22 years.

Happy Birthday!! 30 isn't so bad, that's about when I finally started feeling (and acting) like a grown-up. :-)
I didn't become a rock star either, but i still dance and sing round the house like i am one and i think im cool so that counts
