I've figured out the real secret to looking younger. Just don't wash your hair and wear a sweatshirt and cargo pants and flip flops. This is my ensemble as I ride the train home from the airport. Even though I'm carrying a very official looking briefcase with a very fancypants business logo on it, the rest of my garb apparently says teenager. Two women got on near me and asked if I was here to start college. They're not from here, though. If they were, they'd know that this is just what a 30-something portlander looks like :)
I guess I'm considering 28 30-something now. I feel 30-something, but not in a bad way. My husband turns 32 in three days. That's pretty soon. He never cares about birthdays so his always sneaks up on me. And my parents' 47th anniversary is tomorrow. That's great.

Ha yeah- I'm trying to learn to put on make-up to make myself look older! The exact opposite of what all those women think they're doing with it! Part of me gets really annoyed when people are like, "Are you an archeology student?" or, "Is this your first job?" Grumble grumble. I'm a professional!

I suppose I should learn to appreciate this, but I'd like a little of the authority and respect that comes with age. Maybe when I start to gray...
