Birthday Blues

Sooooooooooo.

Tomorrow is a kinda a big day.
I haven't talked about it much this week. Which is completely abnormal for me. Ryan even said, 'you haven't pestered/mentioned/shouted/repeatedly reminded/badgered/even made one peep about your favorite day of the year once this week/month/last 60 days.'

I know. I know.

Tomorrow is my 31st birthday.
yippeeskippee.

Thirty-ONE.

The Big 3-ONE!

31!

I am just having the toughest time handling this.
Like it feels so weird.

And I know, some of y'all are like, 'Girl, you a baby!! Calm the heck down.'

But I'm not. And I don't wanna.

I'm 31.

Ughhhhhhh.

Last year, when I turned 30, it was no biggie. Easy peezy. Lickity split (I don't know what that was). I had a big par-tay, had a bunch of friends and fam come over. Got completely wasted. 'Cause it's my birthday. Normal.

This year.............not so much.

My friend put it best, she said, 'last year you just turned 30, this year you are IN your 30s.'
Righty-o you are there. Righty-o.

And you know what's even more confusing to me?
I still feel like I'm in my 20s. Well, maybe mid-20s.

Getting old sucks balls.

The only thing that lifted my gloomy birthday mood this morning was this early present:
Nothing like highly processed little mounds of solid sugar to get the morning going in the right direction.
Thanks to my lovely co-workers and friends for making my day on that one!
And I already mowed one down.
Contemplating a second.
No judging.
It's my birthday. (Which is my favorite saying on the planet, because no one can argue that beautiful point.)

Anyways. I just wanted to write out my weirdass, conflicting, highly emotional, feelings about my birthday.
So there.

Oh, and I have a super cute outfit on today:
Because it's my birthday.

Notice the nails match the shirt!! 'Cause that's how I roll.

Cheers!

  6. I totally get it....30 no biggie, but at 31 you are IN the thirties on your way to 40. (I remember it all too well...now I am 41..yikes!)

    Unfortunately, you are gonna get older each year!!! The good news is you are young, fit, and hot.....so think of the thirties as the new twenties...look better and feel better than you did at 21

    have a good b-day.

  7. Happy Birthday! I had a hard time with 31, too!!!! It was the in my 30s thing for me too....so weird! But I must say, now that I'm in my 40s....ENJOY it!!!! as I look back on my 30s they were some of my favorite years...I was confident, starting my family, had a great career going...it was all good. (and it just keeps getting better) Have Fun!

  10. Happy-B-day tomorrow!!! (and I love the nails and the matching shirt!)

    I still feel like I'm in my 20's too. I often wonder why I'm hanging around all these "old" people! :)

    Enjoy it!

  11. The cupcakes look Devine.
    Your nails are beautiful and I wish I were badass enough to rock turquoise nails.

    I am nearly 40. I also feel like I'm in my 20's most days. Age is just a number. Not that I am making light of your feelings about turning 31, I absolutely am not. I realize that sometimes that realization effects us all differently.

    Honest to goodness though, tomorrow you'll still be the same badass chicka you are today.

  16. I freaked when I turned 30. I wore all black that day. Black bra, drawers, socks..etc. Everything. I said that I was in mourning for my dying eggs. LOL.

    Hope your bday was FAHBULOUS!!
