Growing Older
October 12th, 2011 § 2 Comments
I turn 28 next week: that’s not old, according to anyone I know who is even just 1 year older than me. But it’s still older.
Descending from youth is way more fun than ascending to adulthood. Why? New mysteries. One: why do my knees hurt when I’m just sitting peacefully? Two: It appears my esophagus is aging less gracefully than the rest of my internal organs: I can’t seem to lean over within two hours of dinner without puking a little. It’s totally gross.
Next Monday the science experiment called ‘Audrey’ is turning its 28th year: what new discoveries are in store for 2012? Only time will tell.

Aging seems hard, but I have to say 28 was a good year for me! I turned 30 this past June (!!!) and it still feels weird to say, “I’m 30″. But, I look better now than I did at 20, my life is very complete, and 30 feels pretty good! Happy early Birthday!
Thanks, Erin! 30 sounds like a good number, I just hate these even-numbered birthdays. I am SO looking forward to 29!
