Wisdom from the elders

Erin, take it from your older and wiser compatriot. Thirty ain't so bad. I've been thirty for ten whole days, and I gotta say, I have no complaints. In fact, it's been awesome. Although more than half of those ten days have been spent in Sydney, Australia, repelling down waterfalls and going to all-night raves, so it's perhaps not a fair judgement.

Still, I think thirty is cool. I'm not gonna give you some bullshit about thirty being the new twenty. But I will say this - thirty is the new sixteen. Yay - you can finally drive a car!

Happy birthday, old lady, and have an awesome party.
