I have a pretty amazing track record for wearing white to do potentially very messy activities (like eating Italian food or going anywhere there are children) and coming out unscathed. Take this look – I wore it to a wine tasting event which turned out to be all reds, and we were seated the whole time.  I had a lap just begging to be dripped on, and check it out – no Tide Pen emergencies.

This can only mean one thing: one day, when my streak comes to an end, it will be in epic fashion. A flock of bird will all take a simultaneous dump while I’m eating on a patio. A PETA protester will mistake my faux fur for the real thing and throw red paint on me. My car will break down, the only available rental will be a convertible, and when I’m on the highway, and the truck in front of me will bust open, spilling its cargo of glue and tomatoes.

Whenever that happens, I’ll be sure to blog it.

I had a birthday last month, so I’ve now had enough time to get used to the new age I lie about being. I like to go with a 9-year deficit. Subtracting 10 is much easier, sure, but when I turned 30 I didn’t want to be too young for a cocktail because who deserves cocktails more than the 30-somethings of the world? We spent our best years surviving a recession, and now we have lame things like jobs and mortgages and kids, and when we go to the doctor, we hear things like “this is a common complaint at your age.” Meanwhile, we’re still young enough to worry about whether we might outlast the ozone layer.

So when I turned “25” a few weeks ago, you better believe I put on my finest adult onesie and ordered a cocktail called The Elder Witch. Happy birthday to me!
