Thinking about Thirty....

30th birthday party supplies
In the spirit of my quickly approaching 30th Birthday (2 months from yesterday), I have decided to intermittently include Top 30 Lists to pay homage to my first three decades. I hope you enjoy. My first 30 List is affectionately titled:

30 Things I Have Learned in (Almost) 30 Years!
  • Always follow your gut feeling…always
  • Even your closest friends and family will let you down… forgive them and move on
  • Taking a bath helps a stomach ache
  • A little mascara and lip gloss go a long way
  • Bleaching your entire head of hair is not a good idea
  • Raw cookie dough will not make you sick
  • It is ok to dislike golf
  • When people tell you who they are….believe them
  • You can not singly be responsible for another person’s happiness
  • Exercise always requires a sports bra J
  • If you can not tell whether it is a shirt or skirt...you should not buy it
  • The rules do apply to you
  • Sweet, good, kind men should always finish first
  • Tell people how you feel about them…even if they don’t reciprocate
  • Live life without fear and experience true adventure
  • It is ok to say “no” and free your schedule for things you enjoy
  • Black and brown can be worn together if done tastefully
  • Be kinder than necessary
  • Cute high heels are almost always worth the pain
  • Mistakes foster compassion for others. Never say never…someday you might find yourself there
  • Lamar’s Long Johns are worth the calories
  • Single guys normally don’t just want to be your friend
  • Applying makeup in the car is sometimes a necessity
  • American blow dryers do not work in Europe…even with an adapter
  • It is better to be overdressed
  • People notice hard work
  • Repeating the same behavior will bring you the same results
  • Expect speed bumps and freight trains…God often teaches us the most valuable lessons at our lowest.
  • Accepting a challenge simply for the purpose of having a challenge…is pointless
  • Nerds win…embrace it!  J
