You know you're getting older when...

You have to schedule an dermatology appointment to check out your freaky moles...

You pass up an opportunity to hang out at a pool in Santa Monica because you need to clean and do laundry...

You are sore from working out... three days later...

You watch Good Morning America...

You switch from watching Good Morning America to watching CNN...

You read Time Magazine instead of that People that's been sitting on your coffee table for two weeks...

You get an upset stomach from going on a late-night burrito run...

You write to-do lists and actually get everything done...

You have a four-step skin care routine...

You put sunscreen on 5-6 times while hanging out at a pool party for two hours...

You order a sparkling water instead of that last beer you were thinking about...

You wake up before 10am on a Sunday...

You worry about cancer when you're going to the Dr. for a check-up...

You yell at someone talking on the phone in the car in front of you and think "I should really sign that No Phone Zone" pledge that Oprah is asking people to sign...

You're only three months into being 30 and you feel like you are so much wiser and braver and know yourself more than you did four months ago...

But all these things don't make me old. Even though I do these things, I have so much more that makes me young and will keep me young.

I make an appointment to get moles checked out to live longer.

I pass up opportunities to hang out at pools in Santa Monica because I want to have fun tonight as a LOST finale screening party I'm having at my apartment.

I work out three times a week. Even if I am sore.

I watch the news and read Time Magazine because I care and want to know what's going on in the world. Not just in Hollywood.

I go to late-night burrito runs because I can stay up until 3am, get up at 8am and still put in a full day of work at WB and work on writing and producing when I'm done.

I write to-do lists and get them done because I have a full plate of things on my mind and responsibilities to take care of. If I didn't write the list, nothing would get done.

I have a four-step skin care routine because I don't have wrinkles and people say I don't look like I'm 30. I want to keep it that way as long as possible!

I put sunscreen on 5-6 times while hanging out at a pool party because I don't want wrinkles, getting a burn is painful and stupid, and I don't want to make another appointment with a dermatologist because I'm scared to get cancer.

I order sparkling water instead of that last beer because I want to continue looking and feeling good. Plus that whole drinking and driving thing is not something I want to do.

I wake up before 10am on a Sunday because the to-do list has to get done. Plus walking the dog on a beautiful, sunny day makes me feel alive.

I worry about cancer because I know that it happens. It could happen to anyone and I don't want to go out too soon.

I yell at a person on the phone in their car in front of me because it's stupid. I've been stupid many times. That's one thing I don't want to be stupid about anymore.

I'm only three months into being 30 and I feel like I am so much wiser and braver and know myself more than I did four months ago.

Oh yeah, and I still do things like skydiving, flip-cup competitions, silly sketches I film with my friends, goof off, watch funny movies, laugh with my friends until I cry, play pretend, shoot b-b guns in the apartment, plan trips to go white-water rafting, enjoy all the small things, and enjoy all the big things.
