Now, onto today's post....

So last week it happened… I turned the big 3-0! 

When I was little I remember thinking that 30 was freaking ancient.  Great.

I guess it really hasn't hit me yet that I am actually 30 and maybe that’s because I still feel like I’m 23!

The past decade was very good to me.  In the last 10 years I graduated college, got my first real job, switched jobs, got married, bought a house, started a family, bought a different house, etc, etc.  So I can’t help but wonder, is it all downhill from here like they say?    

Should I all of the sudden become sophisticated?  Hopefully turning 30 doesn't mean I now need to watch PBS to get my news (sorry dad), add more fiber to my diet, or pay attention to the stock market.  Let's be real, I don’t do any of those things.  Instead, I watch Pretty Little Liars on Netflix, eat Teddy Grahams as a snack, and get my financial advice from Dave Ramsey’s twitter feed. 

I refuse to think that turning 30 means I've reached my peak – no way!  In my mind, there's no sense in being sad or depressed over it - I'll save that for when I turn 40 :)   I say bring it on 30, I'm ready for you!

Cheers to anyone else turning 30 this year, too!

Q & A with Hubby

Last night we had ourselves a little party for Ryan.  He turned the big 29.  Irish beer was consumed along with an appetizer of beer cheese and crackers, followed by my mother-in-law's delicious corn beef and cabbage!  After dinner Ryan opened his gifts, with the help of a little leprechaun!  It was a fun!

To keep the fun going, I thought I would introduce you to the birthday boy himself through a little questionnaire I drew up!   I literally laughed out loud when I read a few of these!  

Name:  Ryan 

Age: 29

Job: Professional Liability Insurance Underwriter/Broker

Which celebrity annoys you the most? Kim Kardashian...she makes me miss Paris Hilton.

If you could try out any occupation for a year, what would it be?  General Manager of an NFL or MLB team.  Fascinating stuff.

If you could have any super power what would it be and why?  The ability to never need sleep. Think of all the stuff you could get done!

What is your favorite food?  Various types of sushi.

What’s your favorite sport to play?  Football

What’s your favorite pro sports team?  Boston Red Sox

What is your favorite book?  Tough call, but I would have to go with Lord of the Rings.

What is your biggest pet peeve?  Poor grammar and excessive use of superlative adjectives.  "OMG, my trip to Starbucks was the BEST.THING.EVER!!" 

Favorite band/singer?  Big fan of Foo Fighters and Dave Grohl, but I also dig Jonny Cash.

If you could have dinner with anyone famous (dead or alive) who would it be?  Eisenhower.  He’s the only man to drop an atomic bomb, and he did it twice.  I think it would be interesting to hear what lead to that decision.

Favorite movie?  Godfather is the best movie ever made, but my favorite would have to be either The Princess Bride or Gladiator.

If you knew you were going to be stranded on a deserted island and could only bring one thing, what would it be?  A friend.
