Tomorrow is my 30th birthday. I don't know how I'm going to celebrate it, but it seems like such a milestone birthday that I would like to do something different. How did you (or how do you plan to) celebrate your 30th birthday?

I don't remember it. That could be good, could be bad. Just enjoy it with family, friends and loved ones.

I, too, am turning 30 in just a few days. I didn't have any particular plans, until the scheduling worked out for me to travel to Denver for LASIK eye surgery.
It certainly is a non-conventional way to celebrate - but at least I'm looking forward to it now!
Happy Birthday to you!!

It was a Friday. We rented a convertable and went to a drive-in movie. Think we paid $4. for the whole family. Kind of hard to remember because it was a few decades ago.
Happy Birthday two ewe.

When I turned 30, I went to my family's cabin on the river with my family- mom, dad, bro (& his family), aunt, uncle, cousins (& and their families)- and about 10 close friends. We spent the weekend floating, drinking, playing cards, and just hanging out. It was great. For a female friend we rented a cabin at the lake and just hung out drinking and reminiscing. We did rent a pontoon boat for a day and motored around the lake. A good time was had by all. What ever you decide to do, make sure your loved ones are there to share it with. And remember NO PHOTOGRAPHIC EVIDENCE!! It may come back to haunt you, trust me.

Happy Birthday to Angie and Rebekah! I have to say, I actually liked turning 30 - it was so liberating!! And I celebrated by going to the town in Louisiana where they filmed Steel Magnolias and eating good Cajun and seeing the sights. (We were doing an exam not far from there.)

I have been 30 for the past 29 years, and I'm proud to say that I have enjoyed every minute of it.

I don't remember what I did on my 30th Birthday, but I don't really get bent out of shape by "significant" birthdays either. I just look at my life, see if I'm where I wanted to be and have accomplished what I wanted by this time in life and re-evaluate. It's rather amazing how the life goals change with each decade. (oh yeh, there's also presents, cake, ice cream, presents ) don't fret - enjoy!

LOL I love your picture. Is this what you mean by Photographic evidence?
It is an example of what can happen, but luckily there are no photos of me dressed like this. Not saying I haven't dressed like this, but no photos. Unfortunately my "friends" and family do have some blackmail worthy photos of me. I guess no political career for me, except maybe the US Senate.

Oh, wow, this is a great post; I, too, am going to have the big 3 0 this year! Oh, wait a minute, it's the big 5 0 . The years are going by too quickly for me to think.
Just remember the adage: Stop and smell the roses. This will one day make sense to you if you've had children and weren't there (because you were always traveling)and now they're grown.

30 wasn't a big deal to me. I had a lot of fun turning 40. My birthday was 'Oaks' Day (the day before the Derby) and I live in the Louisville area. I walked in the Pegasus Parade the day before my birthday, had parties, etc.
Maybe the reason 40 was so much better than 30 was that I was much happier with my life and myself. I think that makes a HUGE difference.

I took the day off for my 30th. (Actually, I always take off on my birthday, we have a flex day for giving to United Way and I decided that my birthday was holiday worthy for me.)
I went and played golf with my Dad, later, my at the time girlfriend (now wife) took me to dinner.
Happy birthday, just remember, anyone who gives you black balloons tomorrow will have a birthday of their own some time.

Happy 30th Birthday! I got another child for my 30th - finally a boy! He was born exactly 9 months after my 30th.
