WTF? DH and I went to dinner with another couple friend of ours a few weeks ago. Her parents have a house on Cape Cod where she spends a lot of her time in the summer. Anyway, we asked her when she was leaving and she said she wasn't going until the 16th. We then agreed that DH and I would hose 4th of July at our house.
With this in mind, we talked to a bunch of our friends and started inviting people. Another friend invited us out to her place, but we said we couldn't because we were hosting at our house. Well last night I sent out e-mails to our friends with details for Saturday. Guess what? Original friend who set up plans for the BBQ? Yeah, she e-mailed me back today that she had never heard about getting together at our house and now in fact has other plans.
How freaking irritating! That is just so f-ing rude. We turned down several invitations because we thought we were hosting this thing. Don't get me wrong. I love having people over to the house and being the hostess, but with a whole bunch of other stuff going on, planning a party isn't the easiest thing in the world. Now it looks like it will be a very small gathering, which is fine, but I am still mad at this woman. This is not an isolated incident. She is regularly inconsiderate about stuff. Grrrr.

30's
As of today, I am 31 years, 7 months, and 27 days old. In more reasonable terms, I'm 31 and a half. After over a year in my thirties, I have made some observations.
1. It is a LOT harder to lose weight. I know I bragged about my success last week, but I also know that a few years ago I would have seen twice as many results from my work. Oh well, at least I am making progress.
2. My skin requires more attention. I worked outside a lot this year, and I really began to notice how much older I was looking. I blamed the elements, but I am beginning to realize that my skin is just different! I never needed to be vigilant about washing twice a day, moisturizing, toning, blah blah blah. Well my friend works for Arbonne and gave me a sample of their skin care line. Wow! When I cleansed twice a day and toned and did the moisturizers my skin immediately started looking better! Now there is just NO way I'm spending $250 on a bunch of soap and lotion, so I hit up Whole Foods and stocked my cabinet with Jason and Alba products. I can already see an improvement over the past 10 days. Maybe I'll rethink that whole botox thing. I never saw myself as a botulism in the face kind of girl....
3. I cannot drink like I used to. This clearly relates to #1 as well. Before Friday, I hadn't had a drink in over two weeks. I had one beer Friday, one beer Monday, and then came yesterday. I worked out with my trainer early in the morning, but I really cut back in my food to try and counter act those beers. I then went to graduation at my old school. I ate a small plate of the buffet dinner then faculty grad party started. I had three gin and tonics. I am ridiculously hung over. The combination of little food and not drinking is amazing. I called in sick to the barn today. Damn I feel old.
It is just amazing to me how all of a sudden it has really hit me that my 20's are gone.
