Good morning!

[ivyblossom]

Ugh! The hotter it gets the harder it is to do this "morning" thing. This "it's the edge of night" thing. This "my eyes are still gummy" thing. And it's not supposed to be this hot in August. It should be cool in the evenings so I can wear my pretty knitted poncho (care of boniblithe).

With the gummy eyes and the heat and the sleepiness, I don't even want to think about how old I am. I claimed to be roughly thirty for the last three years; can I now call myself roughly thirty now that I'm over thirty? It's just one over, it's still in the "roughly thirty" range, right? Not that I'm all that upset about it, but just the same. I'm like a bunch of pennies. Roughly a 30 of them.

I wonder how late for work I can justify being.

Happy Birthday! And yes, I think "roughly thirty" still works perfectly well, for now. :D

[ivyblossom.livejournal.com]

Yes, for this year at least. :)

It seems to me that claiming to be "roughly 30" before you're 30 should give you more right than most to continue to claim it for a few years afterwards as well.

(Oh, also, Hi. I used to read your journal, and then stopped reading a lot of journals, and recently remembered yours existed and how much I enjoyed it, so I've added you back.)

Happy Birthday!

That was good thinking on my part wasn't it, saying I was roughly thirty when I was 27. ;)

Happy birthday, love. :) *snugglepounces*

Also? I HATE the gummy eye thing, and I get it all the time. Especially in summer when it's hot and my allergies are going nuts from the harvesting.

I wonder if I secretly have an allergy. As far as I know I have none. Though, taking those antihistamines to help me sleep probably has something to do with it.

Happy Birthday! *smooch*

Bottoms up! Thanks!

Of course you can be roughly thirty! It's perfectly true!

*sympathizes with morning problems* It should definitely stop being so hot. Right now.

I almost miss the snow. I may need to be reminded of this at some point.

Happy birthday, ducks. Many good wishes and nose-rubs and breezes of coolness to you.
Oh, and if it's any consolation, my roughly thirty is definitely rougher than yours. :D

[ivyblossom.livejournal.com]

Rougher, but oh-so much hotter. ;)

In my opinion, 30 is still young and hip age!

Happy Birthday <3!

[ivyblossom.livejournal.com]

Yes, it is! Sadly I'm not really 30 anymore, but I agree with you anyway.

[zeralot.livejournal.com]

in my books, roughly 30 could mean anything between 28 and 35...

Hey! Happy Birthday!

Happiest of happy birthdays, albeit belatedly. I think you are pulling off the "roughly thirty" thing spectacularly. Keep it up!
