31!

Today is my birthday. You may leave your love letters in the comments.

My 30th birthday was angst-free. I was really delighted to be entering my 30s, and was happily secure in the knowledge that I was exactly where I wanted to be in my life. All was well in Elizabethland.

This year, however, I'm feeling a little more glum about the passage of time. Mainly the whole "what the hell am I going to do with my life?" question looms a little larger. Also, I have a lot more gray hair that I did a year ago. And I realized that I'm now in the Botox marketing demographic. I'm not planning to get it, but still!

Anyhoo, I'm still planning to rock this birthday -- and this year! I got off to a good start with my fabulous birthday present from Zach: a Flip camera! We are already having fun with it:





Maybe we should just get them a giant roll of bubble wrap for Christmas.

Happy Birthday!

Those widescreen videos are awesome. Great present, Zach!

You might be a little flustered by where to go from here (I am too), but you've already done so much. You've basically already had one successful career and sprouted two amazing little boys. Not bad for 10 legal-drinking years!

I hope you have a great day today! Please eat something rich in fat and sugar on my orders!

Have a great day!! 31 was much harder for me, too, than 30 was. I think I felt a little smug about not being in my 20s any more. Plus it seemed a little cliche to freak out at 30. Much cooler to save that for 31.

That does it! I'm returning all their Christmas gifts, going to the UPS store, and buying a giant roll of bubble wrap! I loved the two videos!

I just spent the last hour reading your entire blog and looking at your book review site as well as your year of dinners blog. Had a blast! Can I be your friend?

Love,
Mom
