Turning 30 ....

Chris can not believe I care so much about the fact that I'm turning 30 this month! But I can't stop thinking about my 20's. I thought I would get some fun pictures of "PROOF" I had fun - but I can't even find where they are. But they would be off me in Hawaii, Cancun, getting tattoos, new blazer, new jet ski, - things like that. I know I would be the only who really cared about the pictures - but it would be fun to show them. But at the same time there are positive things about being older - I found this on a turning 30 search & I liked it! I think it is totally true. In fact sometimes I wish I would just stop saying exactly what's on my mind - why can't I be shy geri anymore? I guess it's cause I no longer care that much.

This is for all you girls 30 years and over....and for those who are turning 30, and for those who are scared of moving into their 30's! This was written by Andy Rooney from CBS 60 Minutes Andy Rooney says: As I grow in age, I value women who are over 30 most of all. Here are just a few reasons why:

A woman over 30 will never wake you in the middle of the night to ask, "What are you thinking?". She doesn't care what you think. (and I'm too tired to care :)

If a woman over 30 doesn't want to watch the game, she doesn't sit around whining about it. She does something she wants to do. And, it's usually something more interesting.

A woman over 30 knows herself well enough to be assured in who she is, what she is, what she wants and from whom. Few women past the age of 30 give a damn what you might think about her or what she's doing.

Women over 30 are dignified. They seldom have a screaming match with you at the opera or in the middle of an expensive restaurant. Of course, if you deserve it, they won't hesitate to shoot you, if they think they can get away with it.

A woman over 30 has the self-assurance to introduce you to her women friends. A younger woman with a man will often ignore even her best friend because she doesn't trust the guy with other women. Women over 30 couldn't care less if you're attracted to her friends because she knows her friends won't betray her. (I thought this was funny because just last night Christmas shopping with Chris - I was pointing out to him how hot the cashier girl was at Target - I don't care if he looks :)

Once you get past a wrinkle or two, a woman over 30 is far sexier than her younger counterpart. (now - I don't agree with this one - I mean you are never the same after having kids but it sounds good!)

Older women are forthright and honest. They'll tell you right off if you are a jerk if you are acting like one! You don't ever have to wonder where you stand with her. ( yep - that's me - you'll never have to guess because I'll tell ya!)
