Well, today is my 30th birthday. I can hardly believe it! I have been alive for 30 years, 3 decades, it really seems like a long time. I don't know why it bothers me so much, but it sure does! When I turned 25 and noticed wrinkles around my eyes....I sort of freaked out and I started making face cream (http://www.hip-threads.com/bodyherbals.asp). After that, I felt much better about my skin...this 30th birthday however....I ordered a bunch of stuff from arbonne in their line that reverses the aging process of the skin (supposedly). Maybe I am afraid of looking old? That could be part of it, who knew I was so vain? Certainly not me!
Maybe its because my body isn't as resilient as it used to be. I hurt my back a few years ago and continue to be plagued with pain now and then. (*though I have a grrreat physical therapist who saves me every-time I hurt)....then I hurt my leg pretty good when I started up running a few weeks ago. I went to my physical therapist and I have tendinitis! what? how did that happen. She says, you need to start stretching before you run, you need to make sure you stretch after, use ice or heat too. What? All of this just to run?! and it's only supposed to be down hill from here, right?
I think I worry about aging because I don't want to look old, but even more, I don't want to FEEL old. You are only as young as you feel. Or as Bob says on the biggest looser "you are only as young as your spine" and with all the back problems I have had...that rings true!
I am going to try to care for my body more in this decade...and I am going to get over this anxiety I have picked up over the last few years. i hate it!
Last night mu hubby and I reminisced about my last 10 years. We have known each other and been together since I was 21 years old. Its been my whole 20s pretty much that I have known him and loved him. We have enjoyed many vacations together across the country, we moved across the country together with no money and no jobs, we have been through a lot of ups and downs in our relationship. It has been wonderful. Marriage and moving to Colorado are my two favorite decisions in my 20s. I have a surprise birthday weekend coming up, I am looking forward to fun with friends and maybe family...with no anxiety and lots of good memories.
I started my website www.hip-threads.com in 2004 to sell my handmade clothing and accessories online. Since that time, I have started this blog to document my creative journey coupled with all the on goings in my life.

Happy belated Birthday to ME
Yesterday Heather and Josh had planned a surprise birthday party for me! Josh happened to slice his hand open on my actual birthday and we had to spend the evening in the urgent care center. (we have been in these a lot lately).
And no-one was really around on my birthday either! Mary had just given birth, Jess wasn't here yet, Josh had schoolwork and other house duties that needed to be done, and Megan had just moved to Ohio. So it was fun to have the whole group together. Most of them anyway.
Heather had orchestrated a roos to get me out of the house to help her study medical terminology at Barnes and Noble. We did this for not very long, and then Heather was like, why dont we just go to lunch and get a beer...which we did. Then Russell was there when we arrived and I was pretty surprised to see him...but I didnt know what was going on until Josh and Jess showed up with happy birthday balloons, Heather pulled out a cake, and Mary & Jeff with baby Elena walked in, then Laura and David came shortly after.
Mary got me the America's Test Kitchen Cookbook that I have been drooling over. I had borrowed hers a couple of weeks ago and Loved it! There are lots of pictures and helpful hints in it :) yay! thanks Mary!
It was a great surprise and makes me very thankful for the good friends I have!!
In other news, Josh is on day 4 of this nasty cold. He is sooo sick, sore throat, runny/congested nose, and of course a little grumpy. lol. He had to call into work today, he just felt so nasty, often I will look over at him sitting watching TV and he is just staring off into space. Poor guy. I hope I don't get it!!! I hate being sick, and Peg comes on Thursday and I don't want to be sick when she is here!
Olshan the Foundation fixing company was supposed to come today and start re-work again. They are taking the drain out THAT THEY JUST PUT IN LAST WEEKEND b/c it doesn't drain right, and they need to fix their braces on that side of the house. Then supposedly the recommendation was to excavate externally, seal the whole wall and put an external drain. To "do this right, finally". Apparently Josh says they have only been here 7 times. Not the original 30 times I had suggested. i think 7 seems WAY too low, i remember them here at least 2 times in the first year, I cant think of at least 7 times, and I am sure I am missing some. It has been over 3 years!!!! I just want this job done right!!!!!
And if we don't hear from them today, i am going to be sooo mad!
