a lot of people fear turning 30 like it's the time that you have to start thinking about the color of your coffin (oooo, how about a nice, dark cherry wood?). however, i was told by several people into their 30's that turning 30 means you don't have to worry about all the crap from your 20's anymore.
i am fine with that. when i think back on it, i worried about a lot of stupid stuff in my 20's...like Y2K and running out of Stridex pads.
i have also thought back in the past couple of weeks about what i thought about turning 30 when i was 20. when i was still in college and watching Felicity on the WB i thought my life would be certain things by the time i turned 30.
here are some of the things i thought...
-i would still be living in nashville (didn't happen)
-i would have lots of money (ummm....no)
-i would have babies...that's more than one (none that i know about...wait...that's a no)
-i would be fully into a career that had something to do with what i learned in college (still headed that way)
-i would still be driving a car (i just drove a car again for the first time in over 2 years...not counting the car i drove at Disneyland when i went there for my birthday this year - see pic)
-i would never be tied to my cell phone (i constantly hear phantom rings...it never stops)
-i would have great friends (yay!)
-i would be in love (double yay!)
-i would still love to watch the show Felicity (i fully admit this has happened...thanks Netflix)
i guess the 20-year-old Megan would be kind of confused if she saw my life at 30, but i think she would still love it...i mean after she got over the whole time travel thing.

Great posting, Megarita! I was a little unsure about turning 30 until I heard a recent song by Merle Haggard about how he wished he could be 30 again. It made me want to enjoy the present, not live in the past. If only I could find re-runs of The Practice...
