Dirty Thirties - A Woman's Angst-Filled Prattle
by TheDivineMissM!
You Are 30 Years Old
30
Under 12: You are a kid at heart. You still have an optimistic life view - and you look at the world with awe.
13-19: You are a teenager at heart. You question authority and are still trying to find your place in this world.
20-29: You are a twentysomething at heart. You feel excited about what's to come... love, work, and new experiences.
30-39: You are a thirtysomething at heart. You've had a taste of success and true love, but you want more!
40+: You are a mature adult. You've been through most of the ups and downs of life already. Now you get to sit back and relax.
Turning 30 is not easy. Especially for women.
A guy told me when I was 21 that I should look him up when I turn 30. He said that this is the better side of 30. Women get fully ripened in this decade, and are just a delight.
The angst has really started for me as soon as I turn 29. My 20s are gone! What have I got to show for it???? I began to evaluate where I had been, where I am going, and where I want to be. Shortly after I began my self-analysis, I kept thinking about where I should be and the goals I had set for myself when I was younger. At first I couldn't remember what my goals had been. Then they came to me, hazy at first like the smog-choked city skyline at rush hour.

I always imagined that by the time I am 30, I will have a high-powered job, a fancy house and car, a sexy exec for a husband, and a doll of a baby. I was going to be a hot momma, strutting around in my designer gear and attending all sorts of IMPORTANT events.
I NEVER imagined that I will be overweight at 30, still clueless about a career, and quite happy to spend days on the couch watching mindless telly.
Its a wake up call; it will be tough but turning 30 may just be the push I need to get back on track.
-- Remember, once you get over the hill, you'll begin to pick up speed.
-- If it weren't for STRESS I'd have no energy at all.
-- Everyone has a photographic memory. Some, like me, just don't have any film.
-- I always know God won't give me more than I can handle but there are times I wish He didn't trust me quite so much.
-- Never be too open minded, your brains could fall out.
-- Just going to church doesn't make you a Christian any more than standing in a garage makes you a car.
-- If you look like your passport picture, you probably need the trip.
-- Some days are a total waste of makeup.
-- Middle age is when broadness of the mind and narrowness of the waist change places.
-- Opportunities always look bigger going than coming.
-- Junk is something you've kept for years and throw away three weeks before you need it.
-- Experience is a wonderful thing. It enables you to recognize a mistake when you make it again.
-- By the time you can make ends meet, they move the ends.
-- Learn from the mistakes of others. Trust me .... you can't live long enough to make them all yourself. I've tried!!
