Number 2 why did I go to bed at 3:30AM for the second time in one week?
and Number 3 why did I eat 4 doughnuts for breakfast?
Whatever so don't care....it's Friday
Last night I went to a fabulous art benefit at a home on the beach and then we had a huge office dinner at Mary Mahoney's! It was amazing (as usual) but.... guess who had to get up and give a toast?
That's right, yours truly.
Now if you know me at all you know I'm a chatty Kathy. I have zero problem getting up in front of a group and speaking but for some reason last night I got super choked up. Yes, I cried..... What's gotten into me? It was like this strange emotional girl came out for like 2 minutes? VERY strange. Anyway....about 500 pictures were taken during this rare tear sighting, cannot wait to get them and see what awful faces I was making. At least my hair/dress was cute.
Ooohhh and after dinner I got to dance to Rude Boy, yessssss! Perfection.
So yesterday mi amiga Faye (there I go with pretending to speak espanol again) emailed me and in one of the emails was a link to some chick's blog. I have NO idea who the girl is but it had a cute little saying...or....I wouldn't call it a saying, story maybe? ...help me out here Faye-what would we call this? I'm posting it below....and I'm adding commentary.
By 30, you should have:
One old boyfriend you can imagine going back to and one who reminds you of how far you’ve come.
-Ppssssshhhhhh!
A decent piece of furniture not previously owned by anyone else in your family.
Something perfect to wear if the employer or man of your dreams wants to see you in an hour.
A purse, a suitcase and an umbrella you’re not ashamed to be seen carrying.
A youth you’re content to move beyond.
A past juicy enough that you’re looking forward to retelling it in your old age
The realization that you are actually going to have an old age—and some money set aside to help fund it.
-I have NOT come to the realization that I will be old one day....... although I am gonna BOTOX it up!
An e-mail address, a voice mailbox and a bank account—all of which nobody has access to but you.
-Check, Check and Check
A résumé that is not even the slightest bit padded.
One friend who always makes you laugh and one who lets you cry.
A set of screwdrivers, a cordless drill and a black lace bra.
-Screw driver what? No thanks
Something ridiculously expensive that you bought for yourself, just because you deserve it.
-David Yurman
The belief that you deserve it.
A skin-care regimen, an exercise routine and a plan for dealing with those few other facets of life that don’t get better after 30.
-Anyone who knows me knows I have a 10 minute/3 step face washing process EVERY night
A solid start on a satisfying career, a satisfying relationship and all those other facets of life that do get better.
-Career check
How to fall in love without losing yourself.
How you feel about having kids.
-Lots please! The more matching Burberry dresses the better!
How to quit a job, break up with a man and confront a friend without ruining the friendship.
When to try harder and when to walk away.
How to kiss in a way that communicates perfectly what you would and wouldn’t like to happen next.
The names of: the secretary of state, your great-grandmother and the best tailor in town.
-Great Grandmothers = Ruth and Celeste
How to live alone, even if you don’t like to.
How to take control of your own birthday.
-I start a countdown a month out and let EVERYONE know when my birthday is 30,17,12,5,4,3,2,1 days away
That you can’t change the length of your calves, the width of your hips or the nature of your parents.
-I have AWESOME calves, Thank You.
That your childhood may not have been perfect, but it’s over.
-It was perfect
What you would and wouldn’t do for money or love.
-For love or money? THAT is the question......
That nobody gets away with smoking, drinking, doing drugs or not flossing for very long.
Who you can trust, who you can’t and why you shouldn’t take it personally.
Not to apologize for something that isn’t your fault.
