I don't want to turn 34.
34 is a scary number. Because 34 is right before 35, and I don't EVER want to turn 35.
I'm not done having babies, and my fertility is already in the crapper, but 35 is when things are supposed to *really* get bad fertility-wise. And if I do get pregnant, want to know what the term is for a pregnancy in which the mother is over 35? A senile pregnancy. Isn't that nice?
So, yeah, I'm really not to keen on turning 34, what with all the senility lingering just around the bend. So I've cooked up a scheme -- if I'm not in the country or time zone in which I was born, then 34 won't be able to find me, and therefore I can bypass all the age-changing.
And so I'm going to Paris.
Yep -- for several lovely days at the beginning of March, I will be in La Ville-lumière (City of Lights) with my wonderful husband. I have dreamed of going to Paris my entire life. It's always topped my "Places I want to see before I die" list. I can't even really believe I am going. Somebody pinch me!
Now, what should I pack....?

ok, now i'm officially reallyreallyreally jealous. i've obviously never been to paris. i do know that every time i've traveled it's been dry in hotels and such, so don't forget your chap stick!
Oh, Maggie, that's so exciting! And don't worry about 35, I really don't remember it being bad. Or maybe I just don't remember it. After all, I am...hold on, let me check....oh, yea, I'm 38 now, and....what was I saying? ;)
so I can understand your qualms... But for a different reason. when i was in high school I had a "feeling" that i would never A) have a baby and B) die at 35. When those things come true (even just one) I am sure my 35th year of life will be torture...
But Paris? Maggie, that's so wonderful!!!! I am super jealous! My birthday is in march too, can I tag alone? :)
Paris sounds great. 35 is just a number. Enjoy both!
