Happy Birthday to Me!

Today I can no longer say I'm "in my twenties." No, today I am officially 30--definitely a grownup.

Yesterday I asked Ben how old he was, and he said, "One." I asked him how old I was, and he said, "One!"

I explained that I was 29, and tomorrow I'd be 30.

"Thirty-eight!" he said.

"No, thirty," I told him.

"Thirty-eight!" he insisted. This morning he was still claiming I was 38.

People say that having children ages you, but I didn't expect it to be this bad.

Thanks to this birthday calculator (which I saw via Milliners Dream), I found out the following:

Your date of conception was on or about 3 June 1975, which was a Tuesday.

You were born on a Tuesday
under the astrological sign Pisces.
The year 1976 was a leap year.

Your birthday falls into the Chinese year beginning 1/31/1976 and ending 2/17/1977.
You were born in the Chinese year of the Dragon.

As of 2/24/2006 1:54:08 PM EST
You are 30 years old.
You are 360 months old.
You are 1,565 weeks old.
You are 10,958 days old.
You are 263,005 hours old.
You are 15,780,354 minutes old.
You are 946,821,248 seconds old.

Your age is the equivalent of a dog that is 4.28884540117417 years old. (You're still chasing cats!)

There are 365 days till your next birthday
on which your cake will have 31 candles.

Those 31 candles produce 31 BTUs,
or 7,812 calories of heat (that's only 7.8120 food Calories!).
You can boil 3.54 US ounces of water with that many candles.

In 1976 there were approximately 3.1 million births in the US.
In 1976 the US population was approximately 203,302,031 people, 57.4 persons per square mile.

The moon's phase on the day you were
born was waning crescent.
