Drool Piggys Have Feelings Too - well they do when they're about to hit 30!

Well, after many years of blogging I gave it up for a year or two and have taken the brave decision to start again. I think because this is a very new and very different chapter in my life it seemed apt to start over elsewhere. Don't get me wrong, I've looked over nearly five years worth of posting and can't believe that that person was me, but there you go, it just proves that Drool Piggy's have feelings too - to me anyway!

This is a pledge to myself: to keep this blog going and to be true to myself - oh, and to protect all identities, don't want to get into hot water!

So, to begin: I'm now verging on 30 - a figure that before was just a number but is becoming more real the closer I get to the big three zero. I have decided that, for fun only, I should be brave and put a list together of all the things I'd like to do before I'm 30... not so easy when you start thinking about it! Do you keep it fun only, a little naughty, a lot naughty, achievable, not achievable?? I've been wracking my brains over this damn list for the last three months and there's now only nine left to go! So, to date, here is my list in it's boring entirety (I'm sure I'll be adding as I go along!):

1. Pull my finger out and apply for my provisional driving licence (achievable)
2. Learn to drive (achievable)
3. Pass driving test (50/50 achievable!)
4. Get my first tattoo (fun and it will freak my parents)
5. Join the gym AND stick to it (who knows if this is achievable
6. Book a fabulous holiday with D (achievable AND fun - ohhh, kill two birds with one stone!)
7. Make new friends (achievable and fun and I'm getting desperate!)
8. Play my flute again (achievable)
9. Divorce papers to be filed - this is not D who is the boyfriend, but The Psycho who is the ex-hubby (very achievable, not too sure of the outcome)
10. Celebrate the Big Three Zero with champagne, cocktails, champagne cocktails and most importantly with D

So, that's the top 10 albeit some of them very boring indeed but some are a necessity that won't get done unless I include them in a list. It will be interesting to see how many of them I manage to cross off before the egg timer comes to a stop! Oh, and if you're wondering about the a little naughty and a lot naughty entries on the list I decided to keep this one seperate and suprise D with them in due course.

I'm also a member of that other well known social networking site that everyone you meet asks if you're on and if they can be added as one of your "friends". I've added a fair few old "school friends" and even though I'm not quite 30, yesterday it made me feel very old. One old school friend, slightly younger than me has four children, which is fine, except her eldest is about to start secondary school very shortly - my tummy flipped - when did we all become old enough to have kids that age? Surely we're not long out of school ourselves? So, i've already been married, awaiting a long sought after divorce from The Psycho and now with D, but I don't have any children of my own yet. Is my biologicial clock starting to tick? Thsi is something I'm going to have to ponder on a bit longer - not sure I'm ready to face this question yet, but something I will return to no doubt in the near future.

I suppose the big question is, does hitting 30 make you old?

Just realised the time and I should be out of here! I'll ponder on the big question and come back later I think.
