So, yep, I turned 30. It feels a lot like 29.
You know who else is 30?
At least I'm in good company.So, in honor of being
here is some random crap about me. (I know, yawn, right?)- My favorite food these days is Tootsie Pops. Order of preference is red, orange, purple... if anyone wants the maroon, brown or those disgusting peppermint ones, they are yours.
- Without my contacts, I am pretty near blind. My left eye is -4.25 and righty is -4.00. I sleep with them in.
- I eaves-drop all the time. Sorry.
- I do math equations (please excuse my dear Aunt Sally - style) to get the time on the clock or phone numbers and birthdays to balance out.
- My favorite chore is yardwork. My least favorite is putting away the laundry.
- In case of a medical emergency, I am O- and have had blood transfusions.
- If I could live anywhere I would live on the beach in Newport.
- I would love to have 6 kids, but will probably only have 4.
- I hate long nails. On me or you. Bleh.
- Although they are fantastic, I think massages are a waste of time and money.
- My house is usually a mess.
- I am prideful that after three kids, including twins, I don't have stretchmarks, even though I have absolutely nothing to do with it.
- If I didn't need a real job, I'd dabble in fashion design.
- I don't get stressed out, basically ever, because it doesn't help anything.
- I am obsessed with the bug man coming to my house regularly. I feel like bugs are a sign of filth, and although it may be messy, I don't want my house to be dirty.
- I don't think babies are cute. Precious, yes, but cute, no.
- I am a master on Microsoft Word and memorize fonts.
- I played the french horn in 6th grade band. I was 1st chair, and last chair, and the only chair.
- I have a very acute sense of smell.
- I watch tons of junk tv. I talk about Real Housewives, the Hills and Project Runway like they are my friends/enemies.
- I laughed when I saw a girl tumble down a spiral slide recently. I still laugh when I see it in my head.
- My biggest pet peeve is when people schedule my time.
- I hoard ribbon.
- I prefer silence to noise.
- I rarely see movies. The last movie I saw was 4 Christmases. The last one before that was The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe.
- I have never lived more than 4 miles away from my parents.
- My perfect day would consist of sleeping in until 8:30, waking up to a clean house, eating banana bread for breakfast, hanging out by a pool in the morning, eating chipotle for lunch, taking a nap, going for a bike ride, eating ice cream for dinner, watching tv without commercials and going to bed. (Never did I mention a shower.)
- I love to smash lightbulbs.
- I have a pervy sense of humor, close to that of a 13-year-old boy.
- Though there have been a few bumps along the way, I am pretty close to where I thought I would be in life by this point. I chalk it up to good planning and being incredibly blessed.

#27 sounds like the best day ever! I can also verify that you do have a pervy sense of humor exactly like a 13 yr old boy and I like it! Happy birthday Sara!
Oh and I hate you for never having stretch marks
happy 30 sara!
i love this list, especially your perfect day. you are hilarious & awesome. i bow to you for #12 & #14.
I read all of them and now i am nervous that i did your biggest pet peeve - i hope i havent schedule your time before - if so - i blame it on someone else :)
i like your perfect day - showers are totally overrated and putting away laundry sucks!
Happy 30!!! My eyes are even worse,and I TOTALLY aggree on the nails!
Happy Birthday! Your perfect day is my prefect day! And I agree with Carol, showers are overrated.
Happy birthday! Oakley looks so grown up all the sudden! Hope you had a great day!
It's nice getting to know you a little more. I always thought there was more to Sara than meets the eye!!! =) Hope things are going well for you guys!!
Bleh - red, orange, purple Tootsie Pops? The only ones I kinda like are the brown ones, so I'll take those off your hands.
Also, if you ever need another blood transfusion, and have time to request a donor, Kirk has O- and would gladly give you some. ("When do I die?")
Lastly, even though I love ya, I have to say I hate you for not getting any stretch marks. Jerk!
BTW- Happy birthday to the cutest, most amazing, talented, and fun 30 year old I know!! (And I know a lot of 30 year olds!)
Sara Lee Jane Brown Jones Palmer--you are an amazing (dare I say?) woman! But it's hard for me to think of you as really being a mother of 3, etc. In my mind's eye you're 14 and playing house. Loved your list of stuff about you. Although I don't understand about the math equations/phone numbers, etc. Anyway, a belated happy birthday. I read your blog eagerly and am grateful to be able to keep in touch that way. As I mentioned, you are amazing. Love, Aunt Dona
Aunt Dona, let's hope that Sara wasn't still playing house at age 14. :) Happy birthday sweetheart! And I totally understand about the bugs=filthy house, no wonder we are almost twins.
Well, #28 explains what happened to my outside lights a few weeks ago! Have you ever considered designing a fashion line for those that are stretchmark challenged and blessed with an abundance of cellulite?
I love this post. These are all of the reasons that I think you are so great! You put it into words so well. And you have a lot of the same wierd things that I do!-Except for tootsie pops, yuck!
Your babies are HUGE! Way to go Oakley for potty training, and flashing you every once in a while! And the pic of the babies smiling at each other made me get teary! Miss you!
Happy Birthday Sara, welcome to the 30's! Love the list of random things about you, I feel so much closer to you now. Long nails are gross...that reminds me I need to cut mine.
Hi Sara... I check your blog pretty darn regularly and I think you are a crack up! Hope your birthday was great and I am so happy all your boys are home together, now. Have a happy day! Jen
Happy Be-Lated Birthday, Sara! I hope you had a great day! You look really great!
Sara, your posts are something I eagerly await and the pictures of your family are priceless!
Happy 30th birthday even though you'll always be the little girl at my wedding in her cute red dress.
But I do have to one-up you on the blindness scale. My contact prescription is -9.0 for my right eye and -9.50 for my left. In order to read a book without my contacts in (and why would I even bother) I have to have my nose touching the page and one eye closed and maybe I could make out the letters.
But that's just vision. You totally win on the mom scale, the patience scale, the humorous scale, etc.
Love, cousin Kel
