turning 30!!!!!OMG!!!!!!!

SO this weekend is my.....glup.....30th birthday....I am not looking forward to it!!!!!!
Just thought I would talke a poll and see how many of us dreaded turning 30!

Twenty Five was worse. 1/4 Century. By 30 I was resigned. Think of it as 29 and Holding.
40 was great. Now I don't think about it. Happy Birthday.

25 hit me hard! I dont know why but it did!!!

thanks froggie!!!!

I didn't mind turning 30. But I wish my birthday was only every 2 or 3 years now.

can't wait for forty! thirties are way better than twenties and from what we've heard it only gets better for us ladies each decade.....imagine our sixties!

Don't want to go there.

Yeah I remember when I was in my late 20 something and the thought of turning 30 was just awful..... but now since I got there (and been there a while) I have realized that 30 something is way much better than being 20 something - no more physical appearance worries (you know the ones that once controlled our existence), and NO MORE stress over dating (finding a husband).

Hang in there it will get better and you will be calmer and wiser......

LoVe,
Rhapsody - (p.s. - I will be 40 this yr)

Yes, I can also agree that I have enjoyed my 30's more than my 20's. But the physical appearance worries? I don't know! They never seem to go away.

Mel - 30's are exciting. Really. Embrace it!

I'm just thankful that most ppl think I look alot younger than *cough* thirty!

I don't know about *alot*, but I've had that comment too from time to time.

Mel - I don't think you look a day over 21 (and some months)

there are some days i dont act a day over 21 either!!! he he he he ...

thanks for the compliment sabrina... i get carded all the time when i buy beer for my grandma... lol

I liked being 38 a lot so I've stayed 38 for quite some time now...

turning 30 was a nightmare for me, thats why when asked my age i reply "im 18 + vat"
happy birthday mel (((((((((((hugs)))))))))))

Thirty will seem so young when you are twice + your age! I always said that life begins at 50. I've been "living" for the last 13 yrs.

PS There's absolutely nothing wrong with being conscious of your appearance! There was a song in the 60's by Jack Jones. One of the lines was "wives should be lovers, too." A lover always wants to look good for her man. In fact...

Wives and Lovers

Hey, little girl, comb your hair, fix your make-up, soon he will open the door,
Don't think because there's a ring on your finger, you needn't try any more.
For wives should always be lovers too,
Run to his arms the moment that he comes home to you.
I'm warning you,
Day after day, there are girls at the office and the men will always be men,
Don't stand him up, with your hair still in curlers, you may not see him again.
Wives should always be lovers too,
Run to his arms the moment he comes home to you.
He's almost here, hey, little girl, better wear something pretty,
Something you wear to go to the city,
Dim all the lights, pour the wine, start the music, time to get ready for love.
Time to get ready for love, yes it's time to get ready for love,
It's time to get ready, kick your shoes off, baby....

But that's another story, isn't it? Oh, well... (Shut your mouth, Tomi! )

with age comes wisdom, heck I'm 57 and we get to act younger and not just cuz of DID, going to stay a child as long as possible

Awwwww {{{{Mel}}}} Happy Birthday!

I hope you feel better about turning 30 soon. It's really kind of cool because as we age, we definitely get BETTER!

I'm in my 50's now, and I had a pang of pain when I turned 50, but it didn't last long. I'm loving using all I've learned through my life to make it better than ever now. I wouldn't want to be 30 again as in my mind, I'm still 21 (think I always will be too!)

Happy days to you!

Hugssssss

I obsessed about turning 30 the entire year I was 29. By the time I actually turned 30, it was no big deal! LOL

35 and 40 were pretty horrible for awhile, but once you get used to it, it's not so bad. I spent my 30s undoing the damage of my 20s, and so far all 1.9 years of my 40s have been remarkably good. I appreciate the life experience, just wish it hadn't come at such a price.

BTW, for my 30th, my mom got me a card that said, "Admitting you're 30 takes courage. And 5 or 6 years." Which turned out to be very true for me! Maybe if you just eeeeease into it like that it won't be so bad.

you guys are great!!!! and 30 birthday cakes!!!!!! wow...
I sometimes stress over the little stuff... i guess I should just be happy that I made it to 30!!!

Let me ask this!!!! will i feel older and wiser on my birhtday??? lol

I know, it's a drag. I remember being so confused and bummed out. Here's something to remember, as wacky as it is--Olivia Newton John played Sandy (convincingly and perfectly) in Grease when she was 30.

It's not old. I've read that most women feel their stride at 38, so you have something to look forward to.

That said, Happy Birthday!!

thanks Apis and its nice to meet you!!!

Mel, I doubt you will feel older. Wiser maybe!!

Wow - was Olivia 30 when she performed as Sandy? I never knew that even though I love the movie and the soundtrack.

And you see Petunia. You liked being 38, still going strong at 38- well now there you have it "most women feel their stride at 38,"

I turn 30 this year aswell & im looking forward to it I havent bothered with my birthday since I was 20 due to thing that happened in my past on that day but im looking forward to the big party im gonna have I had a suprise party for my husband on his 30th & I put up baby pics all round are town of him so I know I will get that back but mine will be teen age pics cause he know I dont mind my baby pics but hated my teen years lol I think out of all the birthdays im not looking forward to I would have to say its my 32nd as my oldest boy will will be 10 yrs but it still only seems like yesterday that he was a tiny baby have fun on your birthday & try to think of it as just another day I do
