thoughts of 30

I turned 30 in June and I am still relishing it.  Growing up 30 sounds old and grown up.  But when I acutlaly hit 30 it felt fortuitous.  I think for me it's because I'm in a good place.  I am in love, I have have a happy home life, I have a happy work life, and I am blessed with good health.  Life is never perfect, but I am feeling like a really luck lady right now.  I have a bunch of friends who also turned or are turning 30 this year and I think we all agree...
1) you love yourself more at 30 than you did at 20
2) you have more faith and confidance in yourself
3) you are usually more settled in life - less drama

I also checked... no white hairs yet! 

long time since I posted!

Apparently my blogging skills are right up there with my pen pal skills - kinda lame.  Well I do have some updates...
First - Daisy girl may be preggers and I am on puppy watch until Mid December.  Anyone looking for gorgeous pit pull puppies??  They will be for about $300-$350.  Photos will follow... of course!!
Second - Thinking of having my own puppies...
Third - We aren't moving to California after all... we are now house/home/land searching in Oregon

That's all folks... Happy Friday :)

lotto

Last night I had the same recurring dream I have had for 12 years (my working adult life) about winning the lottery.  It usually goes like this...

I win the lottery.  I am estactic, you can see this right?  I imagine and plan what I'm going to do with the money - lavish vacations (Hawaii, Egypt, Mexico, Korea, Mars), cars (Hummer - yeah I said it, Maserati, Camaro), homes (summer home, winter home, vacation home...), shopping (Paris, Rodeo, New York...here I come!!), donations (spend a little, give a little)... then I wake up.  And realize that in real life I haven't hit it big (yet).

I have been religiously buying lotto tickets.  Don't worry I don't go overboard, I limit myself to one lottery ticket a week.  My husband thinks it's silly, but occassionally I will win.  Last week I won $10!!  This will pay for lotto tickets for 10 weeks!!  In the back of my mine I think, if I keep buying, one day I will win.  It's a vicious cycle.  But for this small fantasy I am willing to splurge $1 a week.

Happy Friday!

Now that I live in Oregon every day is a casual day.  My personal rebellion?  Dress up Fridays: skirts, heels, a little skin.  Also now that B hooked me up with tons of Urban Decay - I'm obligated to paint my pretty mug every morning.  Don't worry - I'm not complaining :)  I'm just starting to remember that I like to dress up.

Rant of the day?  City of Beaverton residents are up in arms over the city spending 5K of city funds for a Mexican Independence Day celebration over the weekend.  The argument they make is that the City does not do anything for the United States Independence Day, but now they are spending tax dollars on, of all things, a Mexican Holiday!  I wonder, would this even be an issue if it was a St. Patrick's Day celebration?  Just wondering.  Psst... should I even mention that we live just North of occupied Mexico?

Well at least this is a 3 day weekend :)  Hubby and I plan to go to Machete.  And don't expect any more postings until next week... "Machete dont text"

first entry

Starting a blog out sounds so important.  Who knew it would practically set itself up?  I'm not sure if I started this for narcissitic reasons or if I have anything relevant to share with folks.  I guess we will find out...
Stay tuned ;-)
