1) Thirty has been AWESOME. I thought twenty-nine was pretty ruling (and it was – it was the year of Joshles and getting engaged, of Tex, of Kate getting engaged, and so many other rude things), but 30? Completely badass.
2) I’m enjoying living in NJ more and more all the time. I’m finally feeling like I know my way around, and I’m not terrified to drive here anymore (as much – I still won’t attempt Rt 46 at rush hour, and stayed in the passenger lane of Rt 17 the entire five minutes I was on it last week, but I’ve gotten much better). I also keep waiting to run into The Situation at the mall. I’m sure I never will, because the town where Jersey Shore takes place is about an hour and a half south of here, but still. (I keep forgetting that NJ is a much bigger state than what I’m used to (geographically and population-wise).) I’d really love to see The Situation at the mall, though. How funny would it be to try to get a picture with him, and then have him act all douchey?
3) I’m back on Lush, for like the millionth time. I highly recommend Dark Angel, which I’ve never tried until now, but everything else I’m using is an old favorite. Big is still the best clarifying shampoo ever, and nothing makes my hair shinier than washing with Big and conditioning with Coolaulin. I found the Lush closest to me this past week, and it’s one that is in a Macy’s store, which ruled, because I received a Macy’s giftcard for my birthday from my future in-laws, and Josh insisted I spend it on myself, and not on something off our registry. I stocked up on all my favorite products, including some bath bombs. I like taking baths here because our tub is brand new. It rules. Anyway, I got Sex Bomb, Happy Pill, and Magic Mushroom, and as I was checking out, the Lush girl, who was super stoned and completely ruling, said, “Check out those bath bombs! Woo! Sounds like a good night!” Hee!
4) Wedding planning is going along pretty smoothly. I have a fiance who insists on being involved in all aspects, which is both good and bad. Good, because it means this will be his wedding too, but bad because the decision making process takes so much longer when there are two people’s opinions to take into account. I’ve been trying to compromise on a lot of things, though (for example, having a DJ, sending STDs, our first dance song, our cake cutting song, having parent dances at all, where we are sitting, etc), and I feel like I’ve been successful. It’s hard for me to not just take charge and plan it already, but I do want Josh to be involved, and we have six months to settle out the little details, which is plenty of time.
5) I made myself a hoodie with ears yesterday. I realize that I am 30, and no one is emo anymore, but I don’t really care. I am wearing what I want!
