thirty, flirty, and thriving

i hope you had a nice weekend and that this monday finds you well! my weekend was a lot of fun and ended with me adding two new books to my collection and a 2 liter of coke that i'm guilt drinking because i have an addiction. but the biggest thing to report is that i went to bed on sunday night looking like this...

...and i woke up this morning looking like this. it's scary what going from 29 to 30 can do to you. so i think the things i now have to look forward to include: more wrinkles, an AARP membership, tripping over my boobs, and wearing a girdle to hold it all together. oh boy!

i kid! i really don't worry so much about age, especially since thirty has such a fun saying thanks to one of my favorite movies, 13 going on 30, i'm now thirty, flirty, and thriving!

do you ever feel like you have to sort of come off a weekend high and get back to reality? i didn't do anything crazy this weekend, but on saturday, my pop, stepmom, grandma and i all headed downtown and spent part of the day there at a charity shoe sale, browsing through antique stores, and eating philippino for lunch. it was one of those days you really enjoy and want more of, and luckily i remembered to bring one of my vintage film cameras to take some pictures of it! what did you do?

    shoe sales, antique shops and loved ones sounds like a wonderful way to bring in the new decade, especially with a vintage film camera on hand! :)

  3. Happy birthday!! I hope thirty as is good to you as I've heard it can be :) Antiques, shoes, taking photos and going out for lunch pretty much sound like best.

    I'm having trouble getting back to reality today too, after spending the weekend up at a cabin with campfires, photographing of the night sky and sleeping in ridiculously late.

  11. Haha! I love the pictures you chose for this one! Welcome to 30! Your Saturday sounds perfect. Jeff finished school forever this weekend and we spent Sunday afternoon hiking. I thought of you when we saw Buffleheads, a hummingbird, great blue heron, osprey and more! Good times in nature! Wishing you a happy birthday, Danielle!
