National Margarita Day :: Yep, that was the holiday that I hope you didn’t fail to celebrate yesterday – February 22nd. One might think you need Facebook(which I haven’t had for a year now!) to learn of such holidays, but that’s not true. My friends are so amazing that they inform me of such awesome things in real life. Have a margarita if you haven’t already!

Happy Valentines Day :: I took a field trip during work yesterday and was mesmerized by this donut making machine.

Lola Versus :: I don’t think I have mentioned Saturn Returns(read THIS if you have no idea what Saturn Returns is and have any interest in learning) on this blog even once yet. Crazy, since the title of this blog could very well be Saturn Returns.

I can only explain the tumult in my soul these past few years as Saturn Returns. Okay, maybe that’s a little dramatic, but maybe it’s not. And yes, in reality I’ve been true to my all too reflective self and can give a better explanation than an astronomical phenomenon for the emotional ups and downs and questions of my heart, but when I don’t feel like rehashing all those things it can be summed up that Saturn paid me a visit.

One week from today I will be 30. 30! I thought I was ready, but I am not. What I am ready for though, is for Saturn to get the heck away from me for the next 29 years(at 58 when she returns again I will be prepared!).

I’ve been sick this past week. I hate being sick. I know no one likes being sick, but I always take my getting sick as a personal life failure. I was unable to fend off the germs. I was unable to take care of myself. Ugh, massive fail.

Getting to the point. While sick, I watch the movie Lola Versus. I feel like it was a good prerequisite to turning 30. The movie isn’t great, but I could relate and the reference to Saturn Returns made it poignant for my little life.
