Thoughts on turning 30

Um, I noticed I have little wrinkles around my eyes.  I took a beauty quiz and this is what I was told:

To ensure that your skin feels as hydrated, balanced and refreshed as possible, cleanse with a gentle, creamy cleanser like CHANEL Lait Confort Creamy Cleansing Milk, $45. Follow that up with a hydrating eye cream like CHANEL Pécision Ultra Correction Eye Restructuring Anti-Wrinkle Firming Eye Cream, $85. (It contains radiance-boosting soft-focus pigments that mask fine lines — bonus!) For an ultra luxurious experience, treat your skin to an intensely moist eye-patch treatment like CHANEL Ultra Correction Total Eye Revitalizer, $125, which can smooth wrinkles and other imperfections within 10 days.

After your eye cream sinks in, apply a rich moisturizer with SPF for day (try CHANEL Précision Ultra Correction Lift Lifting Firming Day Cream SPF 15, $150, which also comes in an SPF-free, nighttime version). Should you prefer a lighter texture, try CHANEL Hydramax + Active Teinté tinted moisturizer, $60 for day and CHANEL Hydramax + Active Moisture Gel Cream, $70, for night instead.

Basically I just need to spend $535 and I’ll be young again?  Free from wrinkles? Forever 20? WEEEEEE!

Honestly?  20 sucked. SUCKED. I’ll take my 30 wrinkles, if it means I get to keep my 30 self esteem, my 30 happiness and my 30 confidence.

I like me now.  If liking me now means wrinkles?  I accept!  Wrinkles = Grace in small things.

Also, have you ever walked by the store Forever 21?  EVERYTHING IS UGLY!  Maybe it was just the things they had in the windows…. Maybe it’s not all ugly?

Outtakes

Brian is a fly fisherman.  He’s kinda snobby about it (In a fun not serious-way he calls the other kind “worm dunkers”- but that doesn’t apply to ocean fishers????)

Anyway, we were freezing out asses off by the river having our engagement pics taken and he reaches down, pics up a rock and hands it to me.

He says “Under the rock you can see the little nests of the bugs my fish like to eat.”

But then of course, we had to pose with “the rock”

And once again I prove that I BLINK IN EVERY PHOTO.

He makes me laugh and he makes me smile.

I totally washed Brian’s cell phone last night.

In the washing machine.

It was awesome.

In which I admit to the seismic sensitivity of a rock

Well, maybe not even a rock. I don’t know- do rocks feel earthquakes? I mean are they aware of them? Because apparantly there was a 6.0 earthquake and I missed it completely. Not many people here did feel it- It was in Northern Nevada so its not as if it was right under my feet.
I am claiming that the reason I didn’t sleep well the last half of the night was the fact that I could feel the earth’s stress.
The local DJ on the radio I was listening to claims that since his dog slept through it there was no earthquake and go to work already. He says there is no way his dog is that dumb.
All I can say is- major fault lines= sometimes having earthquakes. And if its big enough to worry about I’m sure I’ll notice it.

Brian just bought a new(used) game- called Sarge’s war. Its little plastic army men. And you shoot at each other. I’m so bad at video games, I play with no skill and much nerve.
We went head to head and guess who’s ass got kicked twice? You might guess mine but you would be wrong baby! SO SO WRONG!
I was red- here is a screen shot from the game:(not my game, just something off the internet)

Pay attention to the top part- this was pretty much me- kicking said ass while he just stood there.
He says I’ve emasculated him enough tonight, and he’s not playing with me anymore.
