Wanting to stay young...30 is approaching!

Posted Friday, January 18, 2008 12:22 AM

I don't know what it is, but I'm 29 and got married in October.  Now, with the prospect of 30 a few months away and now being called a "Mrs." (so weird!)...I feel like I'm going out of my way to be very attractive...dressing very well, makeup, etc...and trying look HOT.  More so than before.  I live in Chicago (in the city) and I have these strong urges to go out all the time to the bars / lounges...I guess I have the fear of slowing down and not making the most of my young years (and the time before any babies!).  I just feel like there's not enough time..I have a professional consulting career...that there's not enough time left for me to be me...and just go out and have a good time.  I work long hours and make good money...I deserve it!  This has nothing to do with my husband....he is great and parties along with me...I think it's just worrying about turning older and having the pressures of having a child.

dont worry!! i think the way our culture really focuses on women staying young, it is hard not to feel that way as 30 approaches.  I am all for women feeling sexy and attractive, no matter what age, so go out and get yourself make up and clothes.  And just like people wonder when you were getting married before, they will wonder when you will have kids.  I think its more of a conversation piece than pressuring...at least when people ask me! so dont worry because they will not be there raising the child, you have to be ready yourself.  And just think about all the sexy celebrity moms that have kids and are looking great in their 30's and 40's !!! (of course nannies help, but you get what i mean)  i think its great!
