i’m taking turning 30 as a dare.

we’ve been loving all your comments this week, but we hope you’ll all bear with some rather meager postings next week…

mine and Eve’s birthday is on wednesday so the hubby and i are taking the dog on a (what, what?) ROADTRIP! woohoo!
we’re staying in portland, or the first night, and then on down to stay with eve and her hunny in california (it’s right back where i started from). after a day of shopping for birthday presents with mum (who taught us everything we know), we’re heading over to the coast for some bbq-keg-beach camping with a big group of friends! after another night of beach camping in oregon, i’ll be back posting with a vengeance next month. it’s going to be madness. about 2,500 miles all told. expect to see lots of check me outs of new birthday outfits (no, not nudity, you perv)!

Thirties, you’re not approaching. you’re not waiting in the corner, ready to pounce. i’m clawing my way into you on my terms.
in the meantime, check out some of our favorite and most popular posts from the last few months:

beautiful photos of young, hip runaways – i can’t take the credit for this beautiful post, it was actually Eve’s husband’s idea, but it turned out to be stupidly popular (received over 5000 visits via Stumbleupon) and has been quite controversial. really, they’re just photos, people!

going commando in painted-on jeans – another uber-popular (and also completely ridiculous) post, thanks to Stumbleupon.

Painful or Hip? – Eve’s snarkiest post to date. love it.Go Jane: go get some glasses – my snarkiest post to date.

fashion revolution! power to personal style! an argument against trendspotting. – my call to arms to the fashion-oppressed.

Sneaker Peeker – Eve’s homage to the sneaker. this post was featured on Elle.com!
