Of course by then I had just turned 34. *sigh* I just put that in writing for everyone here to see. Aren't you Generation Y. I think you're too young to be Generation X. I had my last baby in 2000!

I guess the 90's- graduated high school, my father passed away, graduated college, got married, and was pregnant at the end of it. (My daughter was born in Jauary of 2000.)I think I still have some flannel shirts laying around somewhere. I’ve never really thought about what decade defined me.

I like the way it sounds when I say it, but I don't like being reminded that I am 10 years older. I would love to have 10 years back. Don't get me wrong, I love my life and I'm very blessed. It would be nice to be young and carefree again. I’ve been avoiding thinking about 2010. I like the way it sounds when I say it, but I don’t like being reminded that I am 10 years older.
