Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww, thanks

Thanks, everyone, for the bday greetings. I was just so excited about turning 30 that I actually did tell everyone that I turned 30...I'm usually incredibly quiet about my bday -- I'm not a fan of it. I love celebrating the bdays of others, but my own...ech, no biggie to me. However, this year -- it just seemed so hysterical to me, that I just had to throw it in conversation every which way. Whatta laugh...:)

And, here's what the boyfriend got for me...he's catching the reptile-fever himself and he adores my snakes, but he really loves my leopard geckos -- I'm going to actually let him take one to his place (where I'm moving this coming June, anyway, so Rosa is just getting advance placement...:) ). And, he held a beardie at the latest herp mtg near me & so, guess what I got...;)

(We found Jolie -- meaning "pretty" for a girl in French -- at the Animal Expo in Wheaton, IL...wow! That was incredible to attend...! Jolie is only 4 mos old & quite the eater!)

Then, just for variety...flowers sent to me from my sister in Denver. :) *sigh* Turning 30 was nice...:)

Oh, gosh...I have to admit: turning 27 was tough for me. It seems to be the new quarter-life crisis age, because a number of friends have all seemed to suffer through 27. I questioned every last decision I made in my life, found my first white-clear hair on my 27th bday itself, and I felt like I'd done nothing but waste my life...only to end up so dissatisfied. It was then, too, that I realized to my horror that it was only 3 years til my 30th -- when I could officially be declared a fogey (or so I thought!). :p It didn't help that I'd read that per an old law that still exists in FL, an unmarried woman at 27 could officially & legally be declared a spinster. Needless to say, I felt like 27 was the cold hand of death choking me...

Then, 28 rolled around...my Master's degree was long behind me, a crappy boyfriend was almost long behind me, I'd started my career officially (teaching), and I'd felt more attractive than I'd ever felt in my life. Good things were happening...:)

And I no longer cared about turning 30...to me, it meant that the pressure would be off regarding marriage & babies from my Oma (my mother is honestly the last to worry about that! but my Oma/grandmother...oh, wow...
:rolleyes: )! Good enough reason to turn 30 for me! :) I just feel less like I have to prove something to the world and more like I only have myself to impress. It's nice. :) No tears about turning 30...and I've heard great things about turning 31, too. And even better things about turning 40! I say, bring it on! :crazy02:
