Turning thirty

Well, I am turning thirty in a little over a week now. At first I was in denial about this, preferring to ignore the upcoming event. But now that's it's looming over me like an alien space vessal from Independence Day, it's a bit harder to ignore. So I am accepting it. In fact, I have decided to open my arms wide in my acceptance of it. Welcome, you fine big number. You have such a lovely round zero there. And the three! Why, threes are so in style right now! In fact, I've heard that threes are the new twos!

Actually, I've decided to use this change of decade as an excuse to try a few more changes. I have never been one to wear make-up, except when I'm on stage, but, in honor of the big 3-0, I have purchased a variety of new things. I've never owned an eye pencil before! And what is this about plucking eyebrows? Do people really do that? In fact, I am such a novice at the whole make-up thing that I actually bought a book to tell me how to do it. It's called, get this, Making Faces. It's actually filled with some really lovely pictures and interesting ideas.

I've also done something that is shocking, even appalling to some. I have, *gasp*, cut my hair. Not just a trim, either. I cut off over 10 inches, AND got layers put in it. Whoa.

So, presenting the new, grown up, 30-year-old me:


Sorry it's a bit blurry. New me needs new camera.
Oh, and take a gander to your right------> for some new pictures of my little Jady Lady. She's soo cute!!!
