Good things about growing up.

(Happy Happy Birthday Phinn!)

I'm 30 now, but 30 still sounds young and hip to me, so I'm not worried.

I was thinking today about the things that I like about being (at least on paper) a grown-up. Here's a little list.

1. Having my own bottle of super-glue. (it was actually this joy that prompted the list)
2. Staying up late.
3. Having my own house.
4. Living with Matthew.
5. Anna.
6. Taking trips whenever I want.
7. Buying candy bars at gas stations on said trips.
8. Having matching dishes.
9. Feeling good about who I am.
10. Not having to do math.

Here's Writer's Almanac for today. Thanks Dad!

You get Anne Lamott, Gatsby AND Pulitzer for your birthday? I am so jealous. I just have Faulkner and Will Smith. Boo.

And I totally know what you mean about candy bars on trips. What a liberating feeling.

Happy happy birthday, sister!

We have very different lists. One nice thing about getting older: individuality.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
