AAAAAAAAAAAAAAUUUUUGGGGHHHHH
I'm 33!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
33.
three-three.
33.
thirty and three.
My joke is usually "(insert age) and barren" It was really funny when I turned 30. Still kinda funny at 31. Then around 32 people got that kind-of funny-uncomfortable laugh thing going.
This year, it's just going to be sad. People will sigh and shake their heads. The ones with kids will place their hands on my shoulder and say, "It will happen... someday." Then they will return to their homes talking about how sad it is that Amy is so old and still doesn't have kids. "Aren't we lucky, honey, that I am so fertile?" the woman will say.
Well, I'm not gonna say it this year. This year, instead of feeling bad, I will revel in all that I can do: I can sleep until noon. Every day. I can drink champagne. When I'm done with my Asian shift, I can play Sim City 4 for the full 5 hours before I begin my European shift. Then I can play again, until 4 in the morning. I can go to Lucky and still buy jeans in size 0. My husband buys me fun gadgets for my birthday, like a mini Ipod. I can spend my break tomorrow getting a massage. And an eyebrow waxing. And a haircut! I am going out with all of my wonderful friends to eat chicken wings and pizza and drink beer while we play video games. And I have these wonderful people in my life who have said the following to me, all within the past 24 hours:
Peggy, bosswoman: I am so happy you were born. I ADORE YOU!!!
Andie, MIL: We couldn't have picked a more perfect daughter!
Joan, Mom and head decorator: You're one of the best parts of our family.
Jason, husband and partner in crime: I love being us, with u.
Boo, dog-child: *snort* *snort* lick lick right on the lips.
I've got it really good. I'm really happy to be here to see this day.
xoxo A.
