Happy Freaking Birthday

This is what a 30-year-old looks like.

I wanted to take a picture with no makeup on. So I did. But I never said I would not use the retouch tool in my photo editor.
On this event of the anniversary of my birth, I have rebelled in the ways that only a 30-year-old who has high blood pressure, depression, OCD, ADD and a deep sense of shame can.

1. Took the day off.

2. Told Erik I’d only sleep until 8. Knew that might not be true.

3. Slept until 10.

4. Wore a semi-sheer shirt and my Chucks. Two things Erik hates when I wear in public.

5. Had to drive to the DMV. Sped the entire way.
6. Went to the DMV. Knew I’d have my picture taken. Still did not wear make-up.

7. Was overly sweet to the DMV Examiner to persuade him to see me before he took lunch. And it worked! I still got it!
8.  Ignored recommended diet and had fried chicken for lunch. And a beer.
9.  Instead of cleaning the house as I originally intended to do, I gave the dog a bath and watched Comedy Central.

10. Phone rang. I let it go to voicemail even though I was perfectly capable of answering it. But I did not feel like putting the TV on mute.

Look out, world. Who knows what crazy shenanigans I will pull next?  I might drive with the windows open AND the AC on. I might not put makeup on at any time during the day. I might decide to watch bad TV INSTEAD of sitting down with a good book. I’M JUST THAT WILD AND CRAZY.

Now, if you’ll excuse me. I need to go to the grocery store, than take a nap. A REBELLIOUS NAP!

    Is today your birthday? Happy Birthday! Thursday is mine! (I’m older than you, but for two short days we can be the same age).

    Happy birthday. I have found that my first 24 hours of 30 were not too bad. Although I did wear make-up and go to work! Enjoy!

  4. Becs says:

    Ok I am 23 and I don’t look near as good as you do without makeup!

  5. 1. Seriously, despite my boob job and face transplant, I still couldn’t look as hot as you do in that pose. Did you learn that s*** in modeling skool? Eff 30, you look awesome!

    2. Not sure what this “makeup” is that you speak of.

    3. Happy Birthday! My head was so far up me arse in my 20’s that my 30’s have so far been WAY BETTER. Here’s hoping the same goes for you! P.S. I’m old.

    30 my arse. Seriously?! You look 25 tops. And without make up no less! I wish I looked that good and I’m going to be 30 next year.

    Enjoy your nap…and Happy Birthday.

    you gave me some great ideas for what to do on my 30th next summer. I’m not going to wear make up either! HA.
