I'm going to have dinner at Obi-Wan's restaurant with Mi-Mi, Velma, and Gabby. I'm so nervous about the reality of me having a child being right up there in front once Obi-Wan actually meets Gabby, but it's so important.
I turned 28 on June 26th, and I've had some interesting thoughts about it . . . At first I thought I would be devestated about getting older, but really it's not so bad.
Good things about turning 28:
1. When Ace Ventura makes a comment about the TV show Mr. Belvedere, I know what he's talking about, and my 23-year old boyfriend doesn't.
2. 28 is closer to 30, and so, I feel like more of an adult, and being around younger people makes me feel annoyed and superior, instead of jealous.
3. I know that little things still matter, but at 28 it's clearer that realizing the bigger picture is more important.
4. It's just a much cooler number than 27 or 29.
5. Health becomes more about health, and not so much about comparing myself to other girls.
6. The closer I get to 30, I am more aware that life doesn't end when you're 30.
7. My younger boyfriend kind of "looks" up to me in a weird way, as do other younger people.
8. I feel like more of a driver instead of a passenger.
9. Early 20's angst starts to disappear.
10. I'm learning the art of appreciation.
Bad things about turning 28:
1. My younger boyfriend knows more about modern music than I do.
2. I still go to school with a bunch of 18 year olds.
3. Wrinkles take over for early 20's angst.
4. Mutant hairs become more present.
5. I can't be as trendy or kiche . . . I think Old Navy graphic tees are becoming out of the question.
6. There doesn't seem to be a way to dress between teen and grandma.
7. I catch myself saying things about so and so's new ALBUM, instead of CD in front of my boyfriend, and it makes me feel old.
8. I don't get carded as much (this could maybe be a double dipper for good things, too).
9. I haven't lived enough to show for my age.
10. If I find another gray hair I might actually consider getting my hair colored!!!
