30, thirty, THIR-TYYYY!!

I heard a conversation on the radio a few days ago that sparked my interest.

The topic: Things you should give up after you turn 30.

One of the suggestions was thong underwear. Other people called up and said low rise jeans or miniskirts. Jeeeze, the way these people were talking you'd think that turning 30 meant that your on your death bed!

I'll be turning 30 in about a year and 3 1/2 months. Did that ever pain me to write that, haha. So, here I sit wondering, what is considered inappropriate.

Can I still burp really loud after drinking a nice cold budweiser?

Can I still watch Much Music, MTV and BET?

Can I still read books like "The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants?"
Can I still hang out on MySpace or even MSN Spaces? (the odds say that I will still be here, haha. SO WHAT!)

Can I still blast my hip hop music with the windows open loud enough that people stop and stare when they walk by?

Can I still eat fruit loops for breakfast?

Can I still read magazines and wonder how in the hell Britney Spears is ever going to make a comeback now that she's pregnant again?

Can I still climb the odd tree now and then?

I'm not even going to mention clothes because I think I can keep on with my style until I die. I'll be buried in my jeans and a t-shirt ;)

So now I'm just curious to know ... Is there anything you gave up after turning 30? If you're still in your 20's, do you think someone in their 30's should behave a certain way?

I also got to thinking about the old me, the me before I had my kids.

The Old Me would never leave the house without a little makeup and my hair done.
The New Me rarely ever leaves the house without a stain somwhere on my clothes and tired eyes, lol.

The Old Me could walk into a movie store and walk out with a movie that I've been wanting to see.
The New Me never leaves with a movie anymore unless my kids approve. LOL. We all have to agree on the selection. I guess that makes sense since we love our movie nights together.

The Old Me would be able to sleep in once in awhile.
The New Me is lucky if she can sleep past 7 on a Saturday.

The Old Me used to blast hip hop tunes with tons of not so good language sometimes

The New Me considers James Blunt and Jack Johnson the shiz! (But I still love my hip hop but I watch what I play)

The Old Me used to sit, curled up on the couch, pen in hand and write about my past and my dreams for the future.
The New Me is struggling to figure out what happened to those dreams.

The Old Me wants to kick the New Me in the ass for being so wrapped up in my own head that I can't see what's really great about my life sometimes.

Update: Thx to Lor and Grumps for helping me with adding pictures to the album. It worked! Wicked!

	Lizaha scritto: Life is what you make it at any age. The fact that we get to turn 30 is JOY. So, embrace every year and every day. And party it up like you are 18 each time. :-) That's my advice. Plus, you look great for your age, so you'll probably always look young and be the lady at 60 who can still wear the mini and get away with it..... they are rare, but the odd one shocks you - like tina turner. Ha ha. so love it girl. (noop I like BOYS) Anyways, if I don't talk to you for a year and a few months - happy 30th...... 20 Lug.
	Stephanie Jacksonha scritto: I just turned 30 in May, numer of things I gave up? big fat 0. I still get carded, I still am on myspace, lol, and spaces. The only change, is I sort of feel like more of a woman, if that makes sense, not more mature so to speak, just, I don't know "I am Woman" sort of thing, I love it. 19 Lug.
	Krazy Kazeha scritto: I am 33 and I have given up NOTHING I am who I am and take me as you find me baby! I never will give up anything, I listen to hip hop blast mucic read kids books and live life like I always have. Thirties is the best age I feel! I LOVE IT 7 Lug.

	deadites .ha scritto: Hell no.. I didn't give anything up.. in fact I'm more daring with clothes now then when I was 30! Ha! I still drive around with the windows down and the music blasting.. My mother wears thongs.. not the image anyone wants to see, but at 62,my mother could easily pass for 40.. 27 Giu.
	Will Lha scritto: Laura, I absolutely love this entry. I'm a little closer to 30 than you are (February yikes!) and many of those questions go through my mind too. I keep hearing people say that 30 is the new 20 and I'm not sure how I feel about that. I say you're only young once, but you can be immature forever. How about this 29 and holding ok? Take care Laura. I'll sail your way again. Yarrgh!!! 2 Giu.
	Lorene Angeleha scritto: Summer lovin had me a blast ...hahaha, I love this theme and the song and the colors, MAN SUmmer's around here sure are lookin fine..Hope all is well in the house of Laura, and the boys and you are doing well.... Lor I love that movie..I think I will secretly stalk in here just to listen..Oh wait off to lime wire...shhhh don't tell 31 Mag.
	Jen Schha scritto: Love the song! Grease is my favourite movie heh.. blushes no thongs once you're 30? Who the hell made up that rule?? Hmm I think as long as you're not hanging out all over the place and dressed appropriately.. you can still wear the same clothes you did when you were 29 lol.. 31 Mag.

	-Grumps- Archieha scritto: *~ Hiya Laura ~* Firstly, I’ll give ya a link here to a page at “The Space-Craft” for people havin trouble uploading photos. Don’t know if this’ll help ya, but worth a try I’m thinkin, http://spaces.msn.com/thespacecraft/blog/cns!8AA773FE0A12B9E3!7472.entry .. Also, I happened to notice while I was grabbin that for ya that there will be changes to URL’s comin as of June 5. Nothing major and apparently, for now anyways, all URL’s will be automatically redirected. The changes will be as such. Currently your URL is .. http://spaces.msn.com/ar0undthewaygirl/ … After the changes it will be .. http://ar0undthewaygirl.spaces.msn.com . As far as changing links in lists of visited spaces, could be a perfect opportunity to do a little house cleanin as well. gg .. *Changes* … Personally I don’t believe that age is necessarily the phoenix of change in ones life but rather that circumstance is what necessitates change. Moving out on yer own, getting married, having kids, choice of occupation, divorce. … That kind ‘a thing. .. If you are comfortable in a thong, who’s to say ya can’t wear em when yer 90 years of age. You’d likely be wearin em on the outside ‘a yer depends, but hey … Is yer choice … Right ??? . Changes by age seem to be much more gradual than changes by circumstance and as well are more by personal choice as opposed to bein by necessity. .. So yeah … Keep on burpin … As Shrek would say … “Better out than in !!” Burrrrrrrrp Have a great one Laura. Catch ya later. *.. Ciao Belle ..* ~ Smiles ‘n Huge {{{Hugs}}}~ 27 Mag.
	stevenha scritto: YEH! there is something else you have to give up at 30. you have to give up listening to gay radio stations that have no clue what they are talking about. i mean clearly your ass is worthy of a thong, and i'm lookin at that mini skirt pic right now so let me tell you, your sex appeal is off the scale. (know that) but whats even is, throw out all that sex appeal, good looks and smokin body and your left with the most attractive thing of all. thats you, just you. you befor the makeup, you befor the fancy clothes, you when there is no one to impress, when there are no games to be played. just you. and i dare not tell you what else is going on in my head on the subject because frankly, it scares me a lil lol. i'll leave it for you to hear ;) 26 Mag.

	LissaBee!ha scritto: Hey Laura , How are you? Nice pics.30?? Well you may be close to 30! But I bet you still get id at the bar or club since you look like your maybe 22 which is a good thing I think so you look young when your older.Hows Connect are the rumors true we have connect come to Oromocto? That would be ok, I am working at Nucomm it has been 3 months next Friday feels weird with out you and all the old RMHER's to think it will be 2 years this summer.Glad to see you happy ,Wouldnt like to see it any other way ...Hope one day to talk to you one day soon ...Life is too short to disagree or agrue .Its funny how it takes a tragedy for me to realize what s important to me my family ,friends and good health. Take care Laura email me or something ... daydreamingnaughtygurl@hotmail.com 26 Mag.
