I’m normally not a big birthday celebrator, but I’ve been thinking that I should do something for my 30th birthday, coming up next year. I don’t like big parties in general, but especially not for me. But last night, I thought of something that I clearly wanted to do for the big day. I went home and told Matt to guess what I wanted to do.His first guess was accurate. Skydiving. As much as it pleases me that he knows me so well, I had hoped that I could stump him. It wasn’t too hard for him to guess, since he knew this has been something I’ve been wanting to do for a long, long time, and I’m tired of saying, “I’ve always wanted to do that…” and never have gone. He wasn’t as psyched about the idea.
“I don’t want you do die,” he said.
“I won’t die! You didn’t die, my dad didn’t die,” I said. “Besides, it’s better to do it now before we have kids, so that if I died, it’s not like I’m leaving any kids without a mom.”
“But you just said you wouldn’t die,” he responded.
Hm. Good point, but I still want to go.

Suzanne: No Potter costume today. I wore that costume three years already, so I’m going back to the TMNT costume tonight. :)
If you get up the nerve to go skydiving by April(and I know for you it would be a HUGE deal!!), we can go together. :)
Comment by taffystay 10.31.07 @ 11:09 amOhmigosh! I always thought about it briefly, but I never said - I REALLY WANT TO GO SKYDIVING!! Though it would be fun. Do they allow cameras? If they do, try and take pictures! (although, can you imagine if it falls? They probably don’t)
Comment by susan 10.31.07 @ 11:45 amMatt is so funny. I love how he plainly says, “I don’t want you to die.” hahahah… I think you should do it Mel. Remember to buy the video so I can see it the next time I’m in Seattle.
I’m going to be a cup of coke this halloween. Kristi and I are working the bumper car booth at IFF and she’s a hamburger. Together, we’re a combo meal. : )
Comment by Melanie 10.31.07 @ 3:21 pmI don’t want you to die either. Please tell me you did it after the fact.
Why not a marathon or something like that instead?
Na
Hey, how about you and I go somewhere for our birthdays? I’m off in February!
Comment by Na 10.31.07 @ 4:31 pmSkydiving sounds fun! I went to Chipotle for my 30th birthday. I paid for my own meal. But at least I got to see my nieces :)…
Comment by sacrod 10.31.07 @ 6:09 pmSusan: When Matt went skydiving, he actually held his camera!! I don’t think I trust myself to do that, though.
Na: I think there would be a greater chance of me dying if I train for a marathon. hehe…we should look out for cheap flights around that time!
Comment by taffystay 11.01.07 @ 9:20 ami second matt’s thought: i dont want you to die!! but you know, it could be really fun too. and you only live once, right? :)
Comment by traci 11.01.07 @ 5:29 pmoh, you should do it mel! You’re more likely to die in a car accident (well, I don’t actually know that it but it sounds like a convincing statistic…)

I don’t want you to die either, Mel! :) Part of me always wonder how it would be like, but as you know me, I’ll probably die trying to get myself up there to do it.
Are you dressed up as a Potter today?
