My next birthday is looming. After you reach 30s, birthday change from "coming up" to "looming."

I have experienced a "compliment" (today is official quote day) quite often in the last year. The compliment--always from a teen or twenty-something--is, "Wow. You don't look 33!"

As a 33 year old am I supposed to look like the crypt keeper?

To all those in their tweenties, I can promise you that the generation ahead of you gets younger every day.

    Beth, every time I mention a date prior to 1991, or tell them how old I am (32), I get the comments and snickers. When the kids exaggerate and tell me I must be something like 36 or so (based on their fuzzy math), that brings on the guffaws. My next birthday is coming up (looming seems so "final"). I wish you happy early b-day wishes, and know you'll wear the next year as fabulously as the years before!
