I wanted to do this thing too that Cat and Joanne did, but I didn't want to push Joanne's down since this is her blog and I didn't want to post it at The Peevery since that isn't really the place for it. Anyway...

I was having fun in college, thousands of miles away from home.
I worked as an RA in the dorms.
I realized what it means to be a late bloomer.
I wasn't yet slutty.

I was 29.

My husband and I sold our condo and bought a new house.
We got a new dog; a girl dog. Then we had one of each.
I was unconcered about my fertility issues and started looking more seriously at adoption.
I wasn't yet worried about turning 30 but soon would be.
I had about ten gray hairs that I kept a diligent watch on, plucking them as soon as they appeared.
Today
I am leaving my third dot com at the end of the week, either to return to my second dot com or to move on to my fourth, but I am not sure yet which it will be.
I didn't get into film school.
My husband and I make a lot of money but we have a lot of debt.
I wish we didn't have any dogs.
I am the fattest I have ever been.
I just cut myself some bangs two days ago and they turned out really cute.
My teeth are getting straighter.
I am going to Hawaii in two weeks.
I decided to wait until I am 35 to have kids.
I recently discovered a gray hair in my eyebrow, but it is in the unibrow portion and gets waxed away every two weeks.
