About Me

I’m a 30-year-old (!!!), single, charming, and totally dorky girl taking on the ridiculous New York dating scene. When guys are surprised to see a sex kitten emerge from behind my dorky exterior, I just smile and reply, “Who ever said that dorks can’t be sexy?" [More]

Happy 30th Birthday to me!

24 Jan 2010

Holy fucking shit, I’m 30 years old today!!! : ) Can you believe it? Little DD is a big, bad, 30-year-old ADULT??? I’m still shaking my head in disbelief. I’m also in quite a bit of disbelief at what an AWESOME 30th birthday bash I had last night, complete with the amazing paella you see above and all my friends and family gathered to celebrate. There was a ton of food, an unending stream of wine, lots of very loud laughter, gifts, dancing, and debauchery of all sorts. The perfect way to ring in the big day! I feel so loved, aww. : )

There is a lot I could say about turning 30, but I’m sure everyone goes through pretty much the same thing, right? I’ll sum it up by saying that I really do feel like I did all the crazy things you’re supposed to do in your 20s, I hear that your 30s are even better, and I’m especially excited about what this year will bring in terms of grad school, moving, etc. I think 30 will be a great year, and it really does feel just about right. I think I’m ready to be a real adult… kind of. : )

Thanks to everyone for the very thoughtful birthday wishes – I love you guys!!!

Happy Bday, DD. I turn 30 later this year, too. (I can remember when I thought 30 was old!) Glad to hear you had a fun time with family and friends.

Heh, I forgot I was 30 until I had to bring it up to my car insurance agent the other day. Happy B-Day…and happy car insurance discount.

Jimmy – Thanks, and happy upcoming birthday!

hubman – Happy 40th! Hope you had a good one. They say 40 is the new 30, right? : )

Michelle – Thank you, and happy upcoming 30th as well!

Shannon – Hmmm… I’ll have to ask about that. Does this mean we’re supposed to be safe, responsible adults now??? Hahaha.
