Don't listen to all those really old people trying to make it sound like you are still young- they are probably suffering from dementia or alzheimers. Cool ornaments tho!

My mom got married when she was 33, and had my oldest sister when she was 35. She then had four more kids. I was born when she was 40. And all five of us kids are happy and normal. I'm freaking out about turning 30 in two weeks, but instead of fretting about it for the last year, I decided to take care of my health like I never did before. Over the last year I dropped 30 lbs., get 8 hrs. of sleep a night, eat healthy, go running and to the gym regularly. I'll turn 30 in better shape than I was when I was 27. People say I look younger at almost 30 than I did when I was 27. Clearly, that can't last forever, but the bottom line is that you have a lot of control over your health and how you feel. Happy Thanksgiving from SF to Chicago (my hometown, where I'll be tonight if O'Hare isn't shut down from snow or wind.) 29 is not old.

Then my 32-year-old friend found out she was pregnant for the first time. She told me that she thought she had lived through so much already. But now she has so much more to look forward to, it's like she's starting a whole new life. The point is, you're not old. As long as you have good memories and you're proud of what you've accomplished, that's enough. There will be so many more memories ahead, you have no idea. Look forward to them & cherish the ones that have passed. I am about to turn 30 & I had felt the same way until about 2 months ago.

I know exactly what you mean about feeling like it was another life. I grew up in the Philippines and moved here when I was 14 and thinking back or watching old movies, it feels like ages and ages ago and I almost don't recognize it all. It's weird cause in a way I wonder had I not moved would I be here typing this, checking out your site, or worse---would I have bought that Clay Aiken CD?*lol* I guess being that I'm 29 also, it's an age where your not too old, yet old enough to reflect a bit. You're a girl, you have a right to be sappy. What's my excuse? HAHA! Ok, I better get back to work now! Take care! =) Hey Rachelle!
