Well, it happened. I failed my New Year's goal #5... I turned 30. No longer am I a "30 minus 1" or a "29 and 3/4".... I am just a "30". Everyone always gets so jazzed up about this birthday for some reason. Sure, the days of the youthful twenties have passed, it's halfway to 60, and your uterus takes a nosedive toward the island of Menopause.... But really, what's wrong with the number 30 anyways?
If we were talking waist measurements, this number would be a vast improvement on the pant-size I'm currently rocking (thank God women's clothing is seldom listed in inches. It's a wonder more men don't off themselves in department store dressing rooms...). And if I recall correclty, Baskin Robins was made popular by offering just a little more than 30 flavors (and you can't argue with ice cream success....you just can't). And if it weren't for every 30 or so days (ahem), there wouldn't be a human race here to even complain about this daunting number in the first place.... In fact, Webster's defines "the 30's" as a stage in young adulthood..... YOUNG adulthood! That's what I'm talking about, right there! I mean, even Jesus totally started cranking out the coolest miracles and saved all mankind in his early 30's... So I say, if it's good enough for Webster and the Messiah, it's good enough for me! I may have failed goal #5, but I'm pretty sure that my 30's are going to be far from failing.
