Happy Birthday to Me

I turn 30 in an hour. I guess it's supposed to be a big deal but it doesn't feel like one. When my mom turned 30 she went out with a group of friends, got drunk,  and got a tattoo. I don't think I'll be going to that extreme. :)

I'm thinking cake with my family and writing.

Happy birthday! I'm 28, so I'll be looking forward to 29 in December.

I'm the same way -- a bit low key. I don't need to trash the place to have fun. Makes for cheaper bills, ya know? ;-)

Happy Birthday Jimmie!
Thirty? Sigh, I wish I were thirty again.

Oh 30 is the new 25. :)

30 to 35, as I was told, will be your prettiest years ever.
Don't even ASK what happens at 36! ;)

Thanks for the birthday wishes. Thirty doesn't feel much different from twenty-nine. I kept it pretty low key. A nap with my husband, a visit to my mother's, and brownies with my best friend. I did buy myself a little present with some birthday money. It's a cup with a screw on lid and a plastic straw. That way I can take my iced tea into the car without having to reuse plastic water bottles.

Behold the excitement of my life! :)

I'm a little late but Happy Birthday, Jimmie! Go forth and conquer that little bastard of a keyboard and don't worry about it so much. Writing is supposed to be fun, dammit. If you're not entertaining yourself then who else is going to be entertained, right? I was so moved to read all the nice things you wrote about me and so glad you're following that muse. Has to be done or there's no peace is there? You must write. All the best, sweet girl. S.K.Epperson

Spooky. I just finished reviewing Satyr's Graze (which was amazing) on Amazon, clicked over to my email and saw your comment. Thanks so much.

Didn't see a review, but hey, I'll take "amazing" any day of the week. :)

Jimmie Hammel said...

Yeah, I just checked it. Amazon never posted it. Evidently they won't take just amazing. They prefer their reviews to be longer. I fixed it and reposted. :)

I'd still take 'amazing' any day of the week. Remember my kid? Here's what he's doing now. He's on the front of a Cheerios box! hah http://www.facebook.com/louisianastreetband?v=app_2405167945
