Feeling 32- August 6, 2013

32 seems like one of those birthdays where it’s just a birthday, you know? It’s not 30. It’s not 35 when you can run for president. It’s not 33, which I’ve always considered significant because that’s how old Jesus was when he died and that’s when my Mom said her metabolism slowed down. Damn. One more year. I better go get  a snack now.

Breakfast the morning of my birthday!

But, when I turned 32 on Saturday I did think of it as significant. 32 is the age I’ll be when I become a mother for the second time. That’s pretty awesome. I don’t know about you, but I’m feeling 32.

“32”, my silly, incomplete and half-assed version of Taylor Swift’s “22”

It feels like a perfect night to dress up like preppies

And make a run to Target, uh uh, uh uh.

It feels like a perfect night for feedings at midnight

To fall in love with babies, uh uh, uh.

Yeah

We’re happy, sad, messy and busy at the same time

It’s miserable and magical.

Oh, yeah

Tonight’s the night when we forget about the deadlines.

Its time.

Uh oh!

I don’t know about you

But I’m feeling 32

Everything will be alright

If you keep me next to you.

You don’t know about me

But I’ll bet you want to

Everything will be alright

If we just keep living like we’re

32, ooh-ooh
32, ooh-ooh

It seems like one of those days,

This playdate’s too crowded.

Too many brat kids, uh uh, uh uh

It seems like one of those days,

We ditch the diaper and end up training

Instead of wiping.

Yeah,
We’re happy, free, confused, and lonely in the best way
It’s miserable and magical.
Oh, yeah
Tonight’s the night when we forget about the heartbreaks
It’s time

      Ha! Thanks. I like Taylor Swift okay. She’s a little over exposed, no doubt, but at least she’s not a hot mess strung out on smack, you know?
