Yesterday, I was checking my email and MSN had an article "30 Things Every Woman Should Have and Should Know by the Time She's 30" on their homepage. With my impending birthday, I decided to take a look at it and I have to say I agree with a lot of the author's ideas, but think there are a few important things that have been left off. I thought about making my own list and posting it. But instead I will reflect back on my 20's and list the "20 Things I Learned in my 20's."
I've learned...
1. What it means to be in love.
 |
| It's hard to believe we've been together for over 12 year already. |
2. It is never a good idea to smoke a cigarette on a drunk night out with the girls. I'm always going to regret it in the morning.
3. Being organized makes life easier.
4. What it feels like to lose some of the most important people in my life.
5. That the saying "you meet your best friends in college" is true.
 |
| My best friends since freshman year of college. Love these girls! |
6. I'm ready for kids. I officially have the "baby itch."
7. I cannot stress over things I cannot change.
8. Eating whatever I want and not working out, without gaining a pound doesn't last forever. Once I hit 25, I got what I like to call my "woman body."
9. All things don't happen for a reason. I would like to punch the person who first said this in the face.
10. How to pack up my life and move within a few days...sometimes hours.
 |
| Packing really is a skill and I think I've mastered it. |
11. How to drink red wine without ice cubes.
12. Tanning beds are not my friends and nothing good comes from them. That is unless you think wrinkles, premature aging, skin cancer, and dry skin are good things.
13. Moisturizers, vitamins, water, and sunblock are my friends.
14. To live each day with no regrets.
15. To never buy cheap toilet paper, paper towels, or garbage bags.
16. How to shoot a gun, bait my own hook, drive a golf ball, and drive a manual.
 |
| Don't worry, no animals were injured. |
18. I have to do what makes me happy.
19. That reading is fun.
the last one is ironic considering im eating fries and nuggets right now - ugh.
ReplyDeleteI never said it wasn't delicious!
ReplyDeleteAfter seeing you last night, I decided that I wanted to take some time to read your blog. I didn't have time to do so with the crazy end of the school year. I love all of your posts, but especially this one. You are definitely the little sister that I ALWAYS wanted. My absolute total agreement with your #9 above proves this point well. You said many things that I think...and I love it. You are an amazing woman, Tricia! And Kev is a lucky lucky guy. I think he knows that. I love your uber intelligent take on life and I look forward to being your friend through the duration. I'm so glad that my sweet lil' twinks share a birthdate with you. I wish you many many more healthy and happy years! xoxo
