May is almost over, and I can hardly believe it. Life seems to move at a snail’s pace, but also lightning speed at the same time. Just a few things I’ve been mulling over recently:

• My mom and sister have been saying it for years, but I’ve really removed a lot of color from my wardrobe. Lots of greys and especially blacks (it’s slimming, right?) which is exactly the opposite of what I’m attracted to. It might be time to change that.
• As I’ve been engrossed in The College Prepster over the last few days, I’ve begun to think about how I was much more polished in high school/early college. Mentally and physically.
• The blog has also reignited my long-lost passion for wearing pearls every day. Straight-up classy.
• I’ve wanted a getaway to Boston for as long as I can remember. It just seems like such an historic, magical city. Hopefully, it happens sooner rather than later.
• I love smushy faces. Especially on English bulldogs.

It appears as though mine, on August 29, is pretty common.

Glamour recently released a book based on a 1997 story in its magazine called “30 Things Every Woman Should Have and Should Know by the Time She’s 30.”

I’m turning 28 this year. And I’m not one to base my life decisions on something printed in a women’s magazine, but it’s fun to dive into the list and mentally check off what applies to me. A short excerpt from the list:

By 30, you should have…

• One old boyfriend you can imagine going back to and one who reminds you of how far you’ve come.
• A decent piece of furniture not previously owned by anyone else in your family.
• Something perfect to wear if the employer or man of your dreams wants to see you in an hour.
• A purse, a suitcase and an umbrella you’re not ashamed to be seen carrying.
• A youth you’re content to move beyond.

You get the idea. You can check out the rest of the list here.

This is me. Encompassed in one gif.
