ten reasons why it’s okay i’m turning 33 on thursday.
1. I really enjoy double digits.
2. Thursday is a good day for a birthday, because not only do you get THAT day for your birthday fun, but you get Friday and the whole weekend after that to celebrate. Way better than a Monday.
3. Apparently, it makes me the same age as Alanis, Posh Spice, Kate Moss AND Ryan Seacrest. Ack.
4. If you add 3 and 3, that makes 6… which is exactly the number of espresso shots I require to think in the mornings. This will help me remember.
5. 32 was a minor wash.
6. Apparently, I’m in my “prime.”
7. The Canucks cannot POSSIBLY lose the Stanley Cup Playoffs on my birthday this year.
8. When my mother was 33, she had a 13 year old and a 9 year old. If she wanted to go out, she needed to pay a babysitter. With all the money I’m saving, I’ll be rich beyond belief by age 34.
9. For a short time, there is less than a 50-year age gap between me and my ideal man… Paul Newman.
10. You don’t have to show your age on Facebook.

Nerd alert: If #6 is a pun about prime numbers, I’m afraid you haven’t hit your prime yet. 33, after all, is 3 x 11.
Nerd alert over.

Every year, someone makes a prime joke. :)
No, I mean as a “woman”. Apparently we’re super hot at 33.
I can totally see that coming on in a matter of days.

When I was 33 I paid the 13 year old to mind (as in -look after) the 9 year old. And I paid the 9 year old to mind the 13 year old (as in - pay heed to ) It was a good system. It engendered cooperation, of either the commendable sort, or failing that, - the conspiritorial sort. (We won’t taddle on each other in order to maximize our earnings!) I think it would still work, as systems go (- even with a 33 year old and a 37 year old!!?)

In the immortal words of Joey Tribiani, I react to your turning 33 and the fact that I will turn 31 in a few months :
“Why God Why? We had a deal!”
