27 moment of (almost) 30

i recently celebrated my 27th birthday, it was absolutely amazing so full of love and super intimate...pure perfection. but for the first time ever i actually felt like i was getting older. please tell me i'm not alone here, tell me you experienced at least one of my "shit i'm almost 30" moments!

  1. i had 2 too many drinks the night before my birthday that i wasn’t able to consume alcohol at any point of my birthday weekend
  2. i went to three parties my birthday weekend: one for a two year old, a five year olds, and a set of 13 year olds
  3. i didn’t wear a “freakum dress” or “in da club dress” at any point during my birthday celebration
  4. in fact i didn’t even buy any new clothes for my birthday
  5. when i said i didn’t want anything for my birthday except to be surrounded by loved ones i meant it
  6. i cried for the entire week leading up to my birthday for no apparent reason, it was like birthday pms
  7. i got home from my birthday "party" before 11:30pm, it started at 8:00pm
  8. i received a gift certificate to a doctor’s office
  9. and was happy about it
  10. i was mistaken for being at least 3 years younger by at least 5 people (this one is just an ego booster for me)
  11. (until #10 was followed by:) “you look good for your age” wtf does that even mean? i’m done!
  12. my lovely younger sister now starts every sentence with “you’re practically 30 jacqueline"
  13. 99% of my pintrest boards are about: weddings, nurseries, and home diy
  14. i spend 99% of my nights on pintrest building my dream home and planning my future childs christmas photoshoots
  15. hangovers last a solid three days and are brought on by only two drinks
  16. i stopped giving a shit what people think about me 
  17. being in a healthy relationship is normal now 
  18. i laugh at the stupid shit i did in my "younger years" aka last year but don't regret it 
  19. the guaranteed morning "flat stomach" is no longer guaranteed
  20. i am turning into my mother 
  21. my savings account actually has something in it 
  22. the only part of the mtv vma's i related too and understood was the n*sync reunion
  23. junior high and high school kids annoy the shit out of me because they're so disrespectful, fresh, and obnoxious
  24. people are encouraging me to get knocked up, it wouldn't be frowned upon even though i'm not married. it's like people are watching my biological clock for me 
  25. nick at nite used to be: i love lucy and bewitched now it's full house and friends wtf?
  26. sleeping in for me is waking up at 9am
  27. the fact that i have this many "shit i'm almost 30" moments
