I've been 30 for about 3 days now and everything is so different!
I'm lying. So far everything is pretty much the same. In my mind, people are going to start taking me seriously. I don't know why I expect other people to take me seriously when I don't even take myself seriously but that's the way it is. (yes that is a Celine Dion quote).

Memory Loss
Part of me thinks that I might have blogged about my memory before but I can't remember. How appropriate.
As I get older there are entire parts of the day that I just can't remember while other parts crystal clear. I can clearly remember the time my (older) sister locked my mom's keys in the car 25 years ago but I can't remember where I put my laptop.
About 20 minutes ago, I spent 5 minutes looking for my laptop so I could blog (about a topic that I have long since forgotten). I looked everywhere, my room, the kitchen, outside on the patio, the garage, my car. . .then I got to my office and looked at my desktop and remembered my laptop is at THE APPLE STORE. Please pray for me.

Jealousy
Jealousy is very, very real. I don't know if there's a psychological reason behind being overcome with jealousy but the logistician in me (hopefully that's a real world) knows it is so, so dumb. It is summer in Florida which means an overwhelming number of my Facebook friends are posting pictures of themselves swimming. Almost every time I see one of these pictures I experience a small moment of jealousy. This is completely illogical for two reasons;
So stupid.
1. I hate swimming
2. I have my own pool (right in the backyard).
So stupid.

Becoming a Grown Up. . Little. . by . . Little
Hey guys!
I'm still washing my face. Woo hooo! I'm pretty sure this habit is here to stay. This morning I was in a hurry, because my orthodontist was nice enough to give me a last minute appointment, and I wouldn't leave without washing my face. After showering, brushing my teeth, and getting dressed I got in my car all set to leave. I realized I hadn't washed my face and actually went back into the house to do it. A few weeks ago, I would have left and threw some lotion on top of the dirt. I don't think my face actually looks any different but I think this is a necessary part of adulthood. I'll post another picture in a few weeks.
The last month or so, I have attended a handful of graduations. I guess this is another part of becoming an adult. All the young people in your life start to accomplish incredible things. Two of the graduations I went to were family members. My older sister and younger brother both graduated. My sister from her medicinal studies and my brother from high school. Here are some pictures from those two events. I have NO idea what happened to half of the pictures from my brother's graduation so unfortunately I'm not in them. But that's okay, it was his special day. :)

Face Wash
It is the tail end of a three day weekend and I have surprisingly washed my face everyday this weekend! Everyone is constantly telling me how important it is to take care of my skin, wash my face blah, blah, blah. Eating vegetables has never been a problem for me. . . I love almost every vegetable I've ever tried. (Except brussel sprouts, I hate those!) Now that I'm approaching 30, I've started to take some of my parents' childhood advice. As long as I can remember, my dad has subtly begged me to wash my face. I mean, really wash my face. I throw water on my face in the shower so it's not like it's truly nasty but that's about it. So this weekend I have decided to try to wash my face regularly. I am about 5 days into using Aveeno moisturizing face wash and Neutrogena pore refining cleanser. Here is a picture of my face about as up close as the macbook could get at the beginning of this cleanse. I'll check in with you guys in 30 days and see if it makes any difference. I'm also trying to grow in my eyebrows (don't ask) so let's ignore those for now.

How About That Ride In?
I guess that's why they call it Sin City. Ha. Ha. Ha. Ha.
I have a personal connection to the Hangover. I feel like Todd Phillips, Jon Lucas, and Scott Moore just followed me around a made a movie based on my personality. Phil Wenneck and I are soul siblings. I could make a list of all of our similarities but I don't think that's appropriate for the internet. That being said, I am super excited that the Hangover 3 will be out this week. Check out 3 of my favorite Phil quotes before hitting the theaters this weekend!

65 Books You Need to Read in Your 20s
I am almost 30. Wooooo?
A friend of mine recently posted this list from Buzz Feed of 65 books that you should read when you're in your 20's. The compiler proudly proclaims that even if you have already read these books (presumably in high school) you should read them again in your 20's to greater appreciate them. You may not know this about me but I was an English major in college. Whew! So glad that secret is out there. I have liked reading foreverrr. I learned to read when my older sister learned to read. She was 6, I was 3. We've been reading together and separately since 1986. The greatest gift I have ever received was my Nook. (Thanks again sister!). I am not one of those former English majors who went on to become a lawyer, I am also an English teacher. So naturally, I checked out this list right away!! Of these 65 glorious books, I have read zero, zip, zilch, nada. Guess I better get started. Good thing I have summers off. . .sort of. Check out the list here. How many have you read?
