Poor Tom is the only one who doesn't get an age mention for the week. I turned 29 on Wednesday and sadly this year's birthday title has gone down a notch to "fine" as opposed to last year's "Feelin' Great at 28!"
Maybe it's because this is the first year I actually felt old and realized how close to 30 I really am. Yikes!
Maybe it's because this is the first year I actually felt old and realized how close to 30 I really am. Yikes!
Or maybe it's because after 29 years I realized that I am completely lame and cannot for the life of me turn my camera around, take a picture and actually get everybody's full head in it.
(Tom finally just forced me to put the camera down.)I guess it could have been because I couldn't actually taste my precious lamb tikka masala because my nose was so stuffed up.
Or it may have been that the Cold Stone we always go to right after eating my tikka masala was CLOSED. Boooo!!! Even Cold Stone's hurting? Shouldn't people at least still want to eat ice cream to drown their sorrows when they're feeling poor?
(Not the actual one.)
Hmmm...or maybe it's because I'm fatter than ever because I'm one of the ones who still keeps eating that ice cream. I guess I also had a little help from Claire. (Sorry, no full body shots for this one.)
Okay, okay I'll admit it, it actually was a great birthday...even if great doesn't rhyme with 29. It is true that I am feeling old, but the day was still great because I felt so super loved and was spoiled with plenty of phone calls, cards, birthday lunches, and emails. (By the way, THANK YOU!) And isn't that what the day is all about---feeling super loved? Even if people don't really care it's still nice to know that they thought of you at least once that day. And I know that at least one person thought of me a whole bunch because I got a love note every hour on the hour from my "boyfriend". Jealous ladies?! ;)
Well, here's to one more year until the big scary 3-0. And you better believe I'm gonna live it up (in a Mormony-stay-at-home-mom sort of way of course)!!!

I didn't know it was your birthday! Glad you got spoiled, that always makes the day so fun! :) And yeesh - I can't believe Coldstone closed!Bummer!
I don't know what it is about approaching 30 that has me freaking out. Maybe it's just because in my head I still think I'm 23, so the fact that I'm going to be 30 proves that I'm lying to myself. Anyway. Glad you had a fun birthday. And you know, you'd better go back and have some more lamb tikka masala because (1) it didn't count if you couldn't taste it, and (2) you need to make sure they stay in business during this recession.
AWE-some. Glad you felt loved on your birthday, cuz you deserved it! Don't say you're old!! Ahhh, we'll never be old! ;P
SO glad you had a great day and turning 30 was a bit traumatic but with counseling I am working through that!! :) That stinks that cold stone closed!! So what now you have to go to the grocery store to get ice cream?!?! Is there another one close!!?
Happy Birthday, sorry I missed it. I had that scary 30 moment a month ago or so, even though it is still over a year away, it was kind of a shudder. I guess it's because I'm the only one of my friends I have made in adulthood who is still in her 20's, I'm just not ready to give up that title. Good thing I don't have to yet.
But anyway, happy birthday, and hope your stuffy nose goes away.
WHAT? You're not even 30? I hate you a little.
Glad your birthday was a good one. The pictures with your heads cut off are more memorable anyways:) So sad about the Coldstone closing. . .I was just in Vons up the street from our parents and they are closing:( Very scary!
Happy Birthday!!!
Happy Birthday Rachel! Glad to hear you felt super loved. I agree, thats what it's all about. Just to have some extra attention and love to know that people like ya. I hope there is another coldstone close to you guys. :)

I am sorry to hear that you had a cold and that Cold Stone is shut down, what a bummer. One more year and the big THREE 0. Love you!!!
Happy birthday, girl! I'm sorry I didn't call or email. I wish I could've been there to give you a big hug and sing happy birthday to you horribly! Love you tons and I'm so glad you were born! Your the best!!!
Happy Birthday Rachel - I know this is late, but I never see anyone anymore - hope your day was great - 29 year-olds are the best!
