29 thoughts on my 29th birthday

1. I’m 29 today, and something tells me the next year is going to fly by.
2. It’s been almost 2 months since I wrote a blog post. I don’t even have any good excuses.
3. I spent the weekend in Manhattan with my college sorority sisters. While we felt old in the midst of 21 and 22-year-olds, we were told by a waitress that none of us look over 23.
4. I’ll ignore the possibility that she is probably just really good at flattery since her tips depend on it.
5. I’m still so happy that I am a Kappa Kappa (Kappa) Gamma. My pledge class still gets together every year, and we still know how to have fun!
6. The Dow is down almost 300 points today. Thanks for the crappy birthday gift, Greece. What did I ever do to you?
7. Facebook changed birthdays forever. I feel so popular right now.
8. I just received a Happy Birthday e-mail from the Community Blood Center. I suppose I should think “that’s nice” but instead I just think it’s weird.
9. I experienced my first Monday Night Football game last night. The Chiefs won in overtime, but we missed that part, because all I could think about was sitting in traffic, not going to bed until after midnight, and feeling more like 49 than 29 today.
10. Instead, I went to bed at 11:45, and only feel like I’m 48.
11. My dog woke me up to tell me Happy Birthday at 5:30 this morning. How could I be mad?  She's so thoughtful!
12. I keep thinking about the Seinfeld episode when George sleeps under his desk, and wondering if I could do that.
13. My nieces called and sang to me this morning. I love them!
14. On Sunday, my family celebrated my grandma’s 99th birthday.
15. With genes like that plus advances in technology, I’m probably just now hitting my quarter life.
16. I should have no problem getting through a very lengthy bucket list.
17. Aaron and I are going to dinner tonight at Nara, a Japanese restaurant.
18. While I like Nara, we’re not going to there because it’s my favorite restaurant, but instead because I bought a Groupon that expires tomorrow.
19. I should probably stop buying Groupons.
20. There’s a Groupon today for a helicopter ride over the Plaza at Christmastime. Should I buy it? Just kidding.
21. I’m pregnant. Not kidding.
22. You may have already known that, but if not, surprise!
23. I used to say that I didn’t want to have a baby until I turn 30. In mid-April, I'll be 29 ½ and just a little early. But I’m okay with that.
24. We’re not going to find out the sex of the baby. Deal with it.
25.  #24 was not a mutual decision between my husband and I.  Sorry, Honey.
26.  I promise will do my best to be a better blogger once the baby arrives.  There shouldn't be much else to take my time.
27. To my friends that don't have kids, I promise to limit my kid conversation with you.
28. Almost there.  I apologize for the randomness and heavy sarcasm found in 1-27.

29. Something to keep in mind today:
