Signs you may be ready to leave your twenties


10. The word "club" makes you break out in a cold sweat and you don't own a single halter top, a curling iron, or a push up bra.


9. You spent two weeks looking for the perfect commuter bag, that was age appropriate and didn't make your back/shoulders hurt, then bored all your friends with a running monologue about the features of said bag.


8. You recently purchased a "skort" from an outdoorsy company because it was "practical," and you wear clogs almost every day.


7. You think guys in their mid-twenties are cute until they open their mouths and say something. Anything.


6. You can't sleep without melatonin, valerian, benadryl, wine, or some combination therein.


5. When a kid starts screaming at a restaurant, your first reaction isn't to smother it with a paper bag. Babies start seeming endlessly fascinating.


4. One night of stoned grazing causes you to gain a whole pound. Jogging starts to seem like the only viable option for fitting into your pants.


3. Someone mentions the latest 'it' band playing at the Showbox and your first reaction is "who?"


2. You compliment your 60-year old coworker on her outfit from Chico's... and you mean it.


And the number one reason....

1. You're spending your birthday dinner at an all-organic restaurant with your husband and mom, because that's what you wanted to do.

30 rules, and don't let anyone tell you any differ'nt.

If they do, point 'em out, and I'll punch 'em good.

Sorry I missed your party, and sorry I won't see you until Halloween-ish. I owe you and your hubby way too much of my happiness...

So far, my 30s have kicked ass, but that's mostly been because I've had you around. I guess you'll have you around as well, so your 30s should also kick ass. Right?
