When I was an angst-ridden teenager I most seriously believed that I would be dead before I reached 30. I thought that the Bell Jar was dreamy. I never imagined getting married or having children. I thought I'd just enjoy things for awhile - travel, see lots of good shows, meet people. I was totally ridiculous - sort of dark and brooding yet optimistic and goofy.
Well somehow I managed to turn 30 this week.
It was a nice birthday. I had a delicious dinner with my husband and kids. I ate cake. I got some nice gifts including flowers and unbelievable handmade chocolate from the amazing Gail Ambrosius. I didn't stick my head in an oven and barely feel a year older. Life is good.
In other news, I finally registered a domain name for Space Oddities. All of the most obvious names were taken so I'm going with www.space-oddities.com. For now this domain will just go directly to my etsy shop. Eventually I hope to develop a lovely site that will be an all encompassing stop for everything space oddities. But yeah, that may take awhile.
I would leave you with a photo of 30th birthday treats but my computer is being wonky and does not want to let me upload it. Maybe tomorrow?! Good night!
make time to make.

Happy Birthday.
You and I would have been quite a Plath-inspired pair in our teens!
Happy birthday! So glad you decided to stay with us. (I always preferred the Virginia Woolf method myself--walk into a river with pockets full of rocks.)
happy b-day!
it's weird, but i totally never thought i would make it to 25 when i was a teenager. when i did i kind of thought... hmmmmm... now what.....i thought i would just paint in greenwhich village for a while and then vanish or something...
xxoo n
Thanks for the birthday wishes everyone!! I'm glad I'm not the only one who was a little bit uncertain of the future. Ugh. Aging is not nearly as tragic or predictable as I imagined. :)
