29

So today is my 29th birthday. Yeah! Happy Birthday to me!! I always get sooo excited about birthdays!
I couldn't help but wonder why everybody always wants to be 29 over and over again. People say things like, "29 and holding!" or "29 with 12 years experience."
Is it that good that they want to repeat it? Or is it so bad they want to go back and redo it? I mean why not pick 19 or maybe 16 or how 'bout 23?
BUT as I thought about it, I realized that when you are 29 you are most likely done school, started your career and/or family, and starting to get settled in who you are. Why go though the fun of doing that all over again? Although, I wouldn't mind going back to school at ALL!
At 29 you are still young enough to do stupid things, but old enough to realize which stupid things you can get away with, and those you can't.
So I guess I'll just look forward to this year with a sense of excitement, knowing that next year I can say, "29 with 1 year experience!"
