Great list, Sarah! Though, you should probably just go ahead and change #19 if you're going to spend much time around ANNE! That girl has a potty mouth! LOL
ReplyDeleteHEY. HEY. You shut your pie-hole, Colleen.
ReplyDeleteGreat list. And welcome to your thirties. Personally, my thirties have ROCKED. I like them much better than my twenties. I'm with you on the tattoo thing- maybe we can do tattoos one girls weekend.
And....Happy Birthday!
Hell yes, tattoo weekend! Oh shit I swore. Damn.
ReplyDeleteGreat list Sarah, welcome to the third decade of life. Love your next 10 years list.. might have to copy a few... Happy Birthday!!! :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a great list. I have to admit that I agree with Anne - my 30s have been SPECTACULAR!
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday!
TP
Agreed. The 30s do feel better!
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday!
Anne, how much did you struggle to say pie hole instead of what you REALLY wanted to say?? BAHAHAHA
ReplyDeleteYes, I know I'm asking for trouble.....
And Sarah! HAPPY BIRTHDAY! My 30s have been all about being a Mommy (Rachel was born just two months before my 30th bday), so of course, they are my favorite decade! I hope you enjoy yours as well!
what a wonderful list Sarah! and...a belated Happy B-D to you!
