Enjoy the good things in life when you're young. Like the bitter sweetness of young love.[/caption]By 30, you should have ...
1. One old boyfriend you can't imagine going back to and one who reminds you of how far you’ve come.
CHECK!
2. A decent piece of furniture not previously owned by anyone else in your family.
I guess my beanbag doesn't count!
3. Something perfect to wear if the employer or man of your dreams wants to see you in an hour.
Hm...must invest in a designer dress that's chic and sophisticated yet sexy and glam!
4. A purse, a suitcase, and an umbrella you’re not ashamed to be seen carrying.
check, check and...check!
5. A youth you’re content to move beyond.
meh...I don't know if i'll ever see THAT day!
6. A past juicy enough that you’re looking forward to retelling it in your old age.
ohhhh yeah!
7. The realization that you are actually going to have an old age -- and some money set aside to help fund it.
Realisation - check, money...not so much!
8. An email address, a voice mailbox, and a bank account -- all of which nobody has access to but you.
Check to all three!
9. A résumé that is not even the slightest bit padded.
Check!
10. One friend who always makes you laugh and one who lets you cry.
Yep! Lucky enough to have those!
11. A set of screwdrivers, a cordless drill, and a black lace bra.
Haha! *makes note*
12. Something ridiculously expensive that you bought for yourself, just because you deserve it.
Ticket to go see Madonna live in concert?
13. The belief that you deserve it.
Oh HELLS yes, after the year that I've had?!
14. A skin-care regimen, an exercise routine, and a plan for dealing with those few other facets of life that don’t get better after 30.
I'm trying to get those in order now... but the exercise one is on n off.
15. A solid start on a satisfying career, a satisfying relationship, and all those other facets of life that do get better.
Check, check and I'll work on the rest!

By 30, you should know ...
1. How to fall in love without losing yourself.
Oh...yeah - how can you fall in love WITHOUT losing yourself? I guess you shouldn't lose who you are, but you should lose yourself in the feeling. Isn't that half the fun? And why it feels so good? Cos you give everything you have... and then some?
2. How you feel about having kids.
Can't wait. As long as it's with the right person! The more the merrier, as long as we can afford to give them a good life.
3. How to quit a job, break up with a man, and confront a friend without ruining the friendship.
Yeah, these are all things I'm going to have to learn. Serious confrontation issues...
4. When to try harder and when to walk away.
I believe with the right support, I figure these things out!
5. How to kiss in a way that communicates perfectly what you would and wouldn’t like to happen next.
Let's come back to this later, shall we?
6. The names of the secretary of state, your great-grandmothers, and the best tailor in town.
um...I have time!
7. How to live alone, even if you don’t like to.
Been there, done that, and actually, quite enjoyed it.
8. Where to go -- be it your best friend’s kitchen table or a yoga mat -- when your soul needs soothing.
Mine. I know where to go, even though I don't always end up there.
9. That you can’t change the length of your legs, the width of your hips, or the nature of your parents.
Sigh...I guess.
10. That your childhood may not have been perfect, but it’s over.
noooo! I also am in constant denial of change.
11. What you would and wouldn’t do for money or love.
I believe that's something I'm aware of, but it's probably also something that changes as you grow up.
12. That nobody gets away with smoking, drinking, doing drugs, or not flossing for very long.
This is true. Even if your best friends with oncologists, dentist, pulmonologist and other doctor types!
13. Who you can trust, who you can’t, and why you shouldn’t take it personally.
Figuring this one out slowly...
14. Not to apologize for something that isn’t your fault.
Raaaa!
15. Why they say life begins at 30
Can't wait to find out! Or no... I can :D
