Not quite 30

Heathertruett — Sat, 19 Nov 2011 21:31:26 +0000

I noticed I don't relate as well to 20s. I'll be 30 in Jan. I've been married 10 years and have two kids. I rarely spend time with people my own age. My life is pretty focused on family, homeschooling my special needs child, etc... So, mind if I jump in here?

*takes a bow* My husband swears I've been 82 for years. 30 is a breeze in comparison. ;)

The real question is: did you bring drinks?

If I did, you could have them all, b/c two drinks make me vomit. ;)

We rarely binge drink and occasionally we get into tipsy territory. Only two makes you vomit...? I don't think you have the Alcohol Flush Reaction gene, so what are you drinking? Everclear? :)

What part? :)

Lol! I may exaggerate a bit. Once, I had 2 appletinis, completely not thinking about the glass of wine I'd had earlier in the evening. The result wasn't pretty. My older brother tells me we take after my Dad's family and cant hold our liquor.

Lexington as a kid; Louisville for the past six years or so. I went to college in Williamsburg and was stationed at Fort Campbell for three years. So I've spent roughly half my life in the Bluegrass State. Yourself?

I was born in Prestonburg and we lived in Van Lear until I was 4, when Dad joined the Army and moved us to SC. I grew up in SC, but it has never been home. Did you watch our lovely win today?

I had to work during the game but watched the highlights. Was very excited :) I had the pleasure of spending a night in Prestonsburg a couple of months ago. I ate a surprisingly good plate of spaghetti at Jerry's restaurant. If I ever am craving spaghetti like that I guess I'll have to make the drive back to Prestonsburg, as I think it may be the only Jerry's still in existence :)

Possibly. I was able to go home for a visit, last May, due to a funeral. I don't think I could live in Eastern KY as an adult. The racism that still thrives there made me irritable most of the trip. At the same time, my heart hurts for the poverty there and for the beauty being stripped away by mining. I'd like to move back and be part of the solution somehow.

Wow, never knew there was an official term for the red face thing. I've seen it a lot, but luckily I don't suffer from it.

Ok. I'm officially 30 now.
