my very UNmerry b-day

okay, so am I narcissistic or am I just really insecure with my growing years? I KNOW that it is the latter. Tomorrow is my very UNmerry birthday. The big 3-0 has come upon me like a thief in the night. I am officially over and out of my 20's, the years of "splendor in the grass". I know that I have many more great years to come, however, this momentous birthday is going to hit me like a ton of bricks. But I take stock in this...that I still look good!

You look GREAT! And happy 30th! I knew it was your birthday tomorrow even before reading this. I hope you have a good day and don't worry about getting older. 30 sounds scary but c'mon, it's still so young! Are you guys doing anything special? You should buy yourself 30 of something.

Happy Birthday!! Welcome to the "30" club. It's not that bad once you get used to how it sounds. You do look great!!

Janelle, don't be such a downer on 30. Although what do I know, I still have nine more years before I reach that age. You are very pretty and will stay that way for the rest of your life. By the time you're 70, I'm willing to bet you'll still enjoy taking pictures of yourself and dressing up for Halloween.

I'm leaving another comment. I think Amy is funny too. And I'm kindof laughing that all of Lesley's comments say Jared! So, birthday girl, please tell us what you are doing to celebrate!

Well, I'll say this... Michael is a lucky man...
So, Janelle... I just turned 30, too... and I'm lovin' it! I'm impressed that you could take a picture of yourself and have it turn out. If I tried to take one of myself it would look like a Chinese phonebook!

Party hard on your 30th!

Congrats on making it this far!

And Les Dawg... we get the hint... we'll check out your new blog.

My top 10 favorite things about Janelle:

10. Seeing the evil queen picture on your blog. Are you crouching in that picture?

9. Learning that you read Stephen King novels for fun.

8. Your brown wax ice cream decoration. Do you still have it?

7. You are beautiful! (and yes, I am jealous)

6. Your artistic side--you can make anything look good--you pick cute outfits, you paint on blank canvas and it turns out like a real painting that you actually hang in your house, etc. You sew (let me refer back to the evil queen costume) I could never dream of doing these things.

5. You used to give me cinnamon rolls when I came to see you at work.

4. You have 3 BEAUTIFUL children. I wish I could see them more. You are a great mother.

3. You always remember birthdays and do kind things for people on their birthdays.

2. You have thoughtful, well-formed opinions on important things.

1. I love you Janelle. I wish we lived closer!!! These are just a few reasons I love you--there are many more. I hope you have a great birthday.

Janelle-

Happy Birthday! I am loving reading all of the comments. What are you going to do for the big day? I am pretty sure you need to pamper yourself! I am glad you and your family live so close! I will never forget the kindness you extended to our family over the last year. Have a wonderful birthday and keep posting beautiful pics of yourself! I love it!!
