Back From the Beach
Not an Olsen twin movie title - just my life. I flew into Atlanta yesterday on a sunrise flight, just missing scary storms and tornados as CNN would tell me. You wouldn't know what was raging below from the clear, sunny skies 30,000 feet above.
It was a quick trip and I was sad to go. Even sadder when my mom called me after lunch today to tell me that she was just calling from her spot by the pool to say hi. Cruel.
Busy weeks ahead - leave for Las Vegas two weeks from tomorrow and I'm so excited I can hardly stand it. I haven't been since 2001 and while I know the city has exploded in popularity, a place like Vegas can't change too much. Attending a cocktail party and a black tie dinner while I'm there, which means unlike my recent trips to Jamaica and Florida, I can't get by with packing just gaucho pants and bathing suits. (That's my favorite way to pack.)
I think I might go back to Sarasota with my mom in June, to celebrate my 30th, but then I thought: Is it pathetic or immature to spend your 30th birthday with your mother? Shouldn't I have a fabulous husband who will plan a fabulous party for me at our fabulous home? I knew I was forgetting to accomplish something. . . .

Aren't you the traveller? I am a bit jealous because I *lurv* Las Vegas (that's where I spent my birthday last year).
Someday you will have all the fabulousness (is that a word?) in the world, you'll see. Btw- I was unfortunate enough to spend birthday #30 (on a Saturday night) home. Alone. Sad but true.
Posted by Paulie [eatl/ga] on April 4, 2006 07:13 PMI don't think there's anything wrong at all with spending your birthday with your mother. I mean, she did birth you, after all. Regardless, we need to plan what we're going to do for our 30th birthdays this summer...
Posted by T on April 5, 2006 11:34 AMI've been reading for a while, but need to comment on this one. There is NOTHING wrong with spending your 30th with your mom! My mom and her best friend took me to Mexico City for the week of my 30th and that birthday remains one of my best ever!
Posted by Shelly on April 6, 2006 08:03 AMThere is nothing wrong with spending your 30th with your mom. The point of birthdays (other than gifts) is to spend them with people who love you and that you love. You and your mom sound like you really enjoy each others company - what a better way to spend a birthday than that. A fabulous husband will find you eventually - take it from me as am turning 40 this year and didn't meet my fabulous man until 36. He was worth the wait.
