My birthday is at the end of the month (7/30) -- and it's a biggie! -
My DH's birthday is next Wednesday (7/21)... Does that count?
Happy 'early' birthday to you, Nellie! I'm guessing when you say that it's a biggie that it ends in a '0'?
Are you mentally preparing yourself?

Yup, I'm turning 30. I usually don't get too bothered by birthdays, but there does seem to be something about ending and starting a decade (but if we defined a decade as 9 years, guess I wouldn't care about 30, huh?). When DH turned 30 a few years ago, I kept saying, *gasp* "You're 30!! I can't believe you're 30!!". What goes around comes around...

Nellie,
Thirty has brought a sense of self that I have never known before--a sort of wisdom and self-confidence that arrives from the turbulence of the twenties.
If this doesn't defray your fears....every single one of the hip "Friends" are older than you.
Happy Birthday, Girl. Live life large.

Originally posted by nmh My FH turned 30 just a few months after we met, and I was 25 at the time. I remember saying to someone, "I can't believe I'm dating someone who's thirty . . . and it's not inappropriate!" I think realizing that I was old enough to date someone in his thirties without raising any eyebrows was sort of the official end of the ingenue phase of my life.

I know what you mean Nellie--I turned the big 3-0 in June and while I am happy at the place I am in as I enter a new decade, it still feels wierd and foreign to me to identify myself as 30. It did inspire me to up my skin care regimen, though--I'd like to look like I'm in my 30's for at least another 15 years or so!
Awake is the new sleep!

Ya know, I have to say that I LOVED turning thirty. (Now, 38, which is the one on November has me a wee big wigged)
I was in the midst of a divorce and finally found the stength to do what I needed to do and I was happy and felt in control of my life for the first time. I have loved the 30s and I can only hope that the 40s are even better.
I wouldn't go back to my 20s if I could. Sure, I was thinner and had fewer wrinkles. I was also pretty insecure and still made decisions based on what other people thought. Now, I could give a rats ass. So maybe I'm just happier with my "inner bitch".
