I heard the following list on the radio. It's things every woman should STOP doing once they turn 30* and it's frightful how many of them I do....and can't see myself stopping anytime soon.
Buying clothes from the junior section. Hey on the rare occasion that I can still fit into something from the juniors section I'm totally getting it- especially when it's on sale for like $4.99
Forgetting her parents’ birthdays. Growing up I only had 3 birthdays to worry about forgetting: my mom, dad, and brother. Now that I'm married and have in-laws and nieces and nephews, I have 15 to remember so unfortunately there's a very good chance I will miss a few here and there. Thank goodness for birthdayalarm.com- without it, I wouldn't even know when my own birthday is!
Making out with her BFFs at bars for attention. Uh...BFF's: any takers on this one? I couldn't get you to make out with me without the help of a roofy and I'm fresh out.
Making out with her boyfriend at bars for attention. Again, not without the help of a roofy. Adam and public displays of affection? Not so much.
Filling her bed with stuffed animals (really, even one is too many). That's 3 in a row that I don't do! I've never been a stuffed animal kinda girl, they kinda creep me out.
Carrying a torch for anyone she hasn’t seen in the last five years. I married the one torch I carried. {insert the girlish coo "ahhhhh" here}
Rebelling against her parents for the sake of rebelling against her parents. My last act of rebellion wasn't really "rebelling" it was more like "I'm an adult- see what an adult I am, I went and bought a house without asking for your wisdom on what kind of mortgage I should get!" And I will be paying the price for that act for years and years and years. And years.
Declaring an entire gender “all jerks.” But a lot of them are- and that's just not my fault. Stop being a$$holes and I'll stop calling you all jerks, fair?
Holding a grudge against anyone who wronged her in high school. I don't really hold on to grudges- however I am excellent at automatically hating someone that I've never met just because my friend hates them. You wrong my friend, you wrong me pal and you do not want to get on my bad side!
Being “that person” who had a bit too much to drink at the office party. Sometimes someone has to take the bullet so the party can be entertaining. And it just so happens that every single year, I'm the one that steps up to the plate. You're welcome. And I'm sorry.
Crushing on Justin Bieber. Nah, he doesn't do it for me. But Zac Efron, his slightly olderbut still way too young for me doppelganger- now THAT'S another story!
Thinking she’s got it all figured out. Yeah I made that mistake already with buying my first house. Lesson learned.
Engaging in sibling rivalry. My brother and I avoid this by simply not speaking to each other for 11 months out of the year. It may not work for every family but we've never been conformists.
Trying to get by on her looks. If I had the looks I'd totally do it! Don't judge me- not all of us have ph.d's in....well....anything smart.
Living paycheck to paycheck. Okay, let me make about $40,000 more a year and I won't. Problem solved.
Expecting a man/knight in shining armor to swoop in and save her. Pretty sure the entire nation thought Barrack was going to do this- I couldn't have been the only one. My mortgage is still upside down pal, starting swooping.
Wishing she had someone else’s life. Okay, make mine better and I won't.
Expecting everyone to drop everything because it’s her birthday. But it's my birthday!
Measuring her self-worth by a number on the scale. Ya see I think we should all do this, it's a good investment. According to my scale, my self worth has gone up exponentially over the years and it just keeps rising. The stock market may crash but that scale stays nice and high. Take that Dow Jones.
Romanticizing her 20s. Well if your 20's were as awesome as mine were, you'd romanticize them too. They WERE awesome.
Blaming her mother for all her issues. Good thing I blame my father. Whoo, dodged that bullet.

You'll have to watch. I heard of a new 'Obama' program for upside-down mortgages. It allows the bank to 'forgive' part of your loan, reducing it down to the current value. Don't know where you'd check it out...but it might be worth trying to track it down? I'd like to see someone I know get something out of BHS (other than screwed).
Your M-I-L
This list kind of made me depressed...are we really no longer in our 20's?
A couple notes....
Does Fifi creep you out? Allison LOVES Fifi and I am afriad she is going to think she's her's...yeah, not so much little one, Fifi is mommy's!
Although it makes you feel better, The ENTIRE nation didn't think Barack would save them... although you're for sure not alone on this one.
Romanticizing your 20's...I am SO guilty of this one. Are we really not in our 20's anymore? If not, how can we get back there?
I have a few more thoughts but I am not sure they are apporpriate for the world to view so we'll have to chat!
P.S. You would need a roofy!
