on a friday night, three girls and two boys headed to watch (gasp) 13 going on 30! i think it's definitely a sign when the last two movies i've seen in theatres have been the former and the prince and me. not to mention that mean girls opens next week. wow i'm so cool. so because of that, i'm inspired.

when i'm 30 i will have:

partied in amsterdam, stolen a kiss under the vatican, come face to face with mona lisa, sealed a business deal on a yacht in the mediterranean, sipped martinis on the coast of sicily, hiked the great wall, eaten everything and anything in hong kong, bought my grandmother the most beautiful ruby ring because she loves the deep red of ruby, taken my dad heliboarding in british columbia, rented a ferrari for a day, walked the red carpet, been published in the los angeles times, attended a new york city fashion show, shared a banana split amidst the rain on a winter's day in chicago, two BA's, an MA, and a JD, driven a moped along the cobblestone streets of rome, stood at the very top of the eiffel tower, felt the lingering pain of heartache, disappointment, immense joy, sorrow, faced fears, waltzed with a gorgeous man in the palace, skinny dipped in thailand, fallen down only to get up again and live - all this, and so much more.
