So any of you that know me know that I have been dreading turning 30 ever since I hit 25. I planned on sneaking away to a hotel and spending the night with my friend jack daniels, but my friends and family decided a surprise party and drawing even more attention to my age was a better idea. I had suspected this would happen, but I'll give them credit they seemed so unorganized that they really did get me.
So I would like to do a quick tribute to the year 1978:
- The President of the United States was Jimmy Carter
- A new home cost $54,750... a new car $5,400... gas $0.63 per gallon
- Famous People: Ashton Kutcher, Topher Grace and Katie Holmes were born in 1978 as well as Kobe Bryant (not really proud of that one)
-Movies: Grease, Superman and Animal House
- TV: Taxi, Mork and Mindy (you all tried the nanu-nanu thing didn't you... if you didn't then yes, I am old)
As you can see, 1978 was a great year and we all have a lot to be thankful for.
So instead of having a breakdown about my age, I had a breakdown about how lucky I was to have such wonderful people in my life... no, seriously there were tears. Thanks for such a great birthday!

so at our age it was Mork and Mindy Nanu Nanu.....today it is Teletubbies eat their Nunu!!! Argh I am old! So that song Take a Chance on Me! Is that why it is one of my favorite 70's songs, cause I was probably listening to it in the womb! Well Happy Birthday! I will be eating funeral potatoes come Monday!
So did you ever get the moped?
Happy belated Birthday!!
Happy Birthday Kate! (sorry I couldn't make it up for the party...) Google "Turning 30 by Andy Rooney" It's great and will make you feel oh so much better...
