30 ~ 30

Thirty things about me on my 30th! (in no particular order...)

30. I am tall (about 5'9'').
29. It is impossible to find pants that are long enough. So I am always ordering 'longs' from catalogs or websites.
28. I hate cars with blinkers on the review mirrors.
27. I also hate onions.
26. I never went to my junior prom or senior ball... my 'boyfriend' (now husband) said he was too old and we went to Toronto for the weekend instead.
25. I lived in Florida and Texas when I was little.
24. When I came to NY after TX, I said "awesazs" instead of "always". This led to horrible mocking by other kids... now it only slips out if I have been drinking.
23. Maragritas are my favorite.
22. Pineapple-chili grill shrimp are my favortie too.
21. I have never broken a bone, but I chipped my tailbone once rollerskating.
20. I have never had stitches (except the ones after kids were born, and they don't count.)
19. I have been to Europe twice and often think the I lived there in another life, but did something bad in that life so I am now stuck here in the US with a man who hates to travel.
18. Lilacs are my favorite flowers (or is that a bush?).
17. I think parmesan cheese smells like vomit and I won't eat it.
16. I once cut my hair super short and wore ties to school. When we had our school pictures taken, the man said "Thank You, Son" to me.
15. I have 3 tattoos and I am getting a 4th one today. (pictures to come)
14. I once wrote a paper on Great Expectations but never read the book. My grade was 100%.
13. I once wrote a paper on Caravagio for Humanities in High School, then handed it in as a paper I had to write in college.
12. I hit the curb when I parallel parked during my driver's test and still passed. My sister had to take the test 3 times.
11. I love snow/rain.
10. If I didn't live somewhere that it snowed, I would want to live by the ocean.
9. I don't think all babies are beautiful, but say they are cute anyway.
8. I couldn't careless if I never bowled again in my life.
7. I don't know much about terrariums, but my sister just gave me one, so I better learn.
6. I think coming up with 30 things about myself is really hard, I am running out of ideas.
5. I crack my toes, a lot.
4. I played the clarinet in elementary school.
3. My husband's face after he shaves (with the pink Dove soap) is my favorite smell.
2. I drink coke, never pepsi... I hate pepsi.
1. Today is my 30th birthday!!

Happy Birthday. I want to see the tattoo. I have been wanting one for many, many years but I just don't know what design I want.

30, flirty, and thriving - woo hoo! I hope you have some fun today.

I once wrote a paper on Great Expectations without reading it, too. Cliff's Notes, baby!

Tammy... 3 out of 4 of my tattoos are butterflies, but the story behind that is for another day.

Anne... I didn't even use cliff notes!!

Sister,

Um okay, I have a question...I only know of 3 tattoos on your body. Your neck, shoulder and now your foot. The 4th? dare I ask who's initials are on your arse? JK! but seriously how could I not remember what it is?

Love your loving,
Sister

I'm not sure if I actually cracked my tailbone while rollerskating, or should I say roller-falling? but it hurt like hell for, what seemed like, years.
As I recall, I fell onto my knees first and then back onto the rear wheels which landed right between the butt-cheeks. Ouch!
