gun shy {and} thirty

I said I was over the whole creepy picture thing, but maybe I’m not.

I keep thinking about all the things I want to write about and then I do nothing about it.  Which isn’t normal for me.  Usually, I think about something and then I do it.  People that just talk about doing things, but don’t actually ever do them get under my skin.  I’m a doer. 

But now I’m not doing. 

I’m avoiding.  And doing pointless things like changing the background of my blog as opposed to writing on my blog.

I do this all the time.  When I have something important that I don’t want to do (like work stuff that I bring home–which I rarely do), I’ll do anything else but said work.  Like last night.  I was doing laundry like a champ.  For no other reason than to avoid working on a project.  It was 11:00 at night and I’m folding socks like there could be a sock shortage any second and all the Grahams needed to be prepared.  It was definitely one for the record books.

I’m a doer, but I’m also an all-star avoider.

These are just some of the many talents I possess.

On a completely random and unrelated note, I turn 30 in exactly one month.  I have no specific feelings about this.  Oh, except the feelings I have about so many people making a big deal about their thirtieth birthdays and the me-me-me, let’s throw a party thing.  That’s super-annoying and seems immature for someone leaving their twenties behind. 

Also random, I’m so much better than I was a decade ago.  And last year, actually.  So that’s how I’m going to celebrate the big 3-0, being better than I was last year.

And I also might do some reminiscing and embarrassing pictures, but mostly just be happy I’m better than I was.  Still a work-in-progress, but more done than yesterday.

    Nail on the head about the parties!!! I’m all about celebrating me on my birthday but wow! Some of these parties are insane. Maybe it has to do with where we are in life. When you have struggled, had children, are married, etc…..partying just does not hold any sort of appeal.

    Great post! Makes me excited to turn 30. I’m definitely ready to put these awful 20’s behind me. Glad to see you blogging again!
