Thanks for your wonderful comments, people.
I now know that:
1. The quiet life is too much to ask for - blame the freaking world! But drama makes life interesting. Very true, Fudge.
2. I am not a natural risk-taker, I apparently don't know what I want, and I fear the unknown. I know I'm boring, okay Jim!? But I'd much prefer a granny-type existence of pottering around, gardening, cooking, knitting and reading.
3. Upheavals that we create are better than the ones we don't. Yep, deemacgee, and many of the upheavals from the past 18 months which have caused the most angst are the ones out of my control.
4. I haven't yet reached my peak of boringness yet until I talk of baby sleep times and poo. But that's not entirely true, Ginchy - you can post much better, and cuter, photos than I can - and new mothers have very interesting things to ponder.
5. Amanda is afeared of getting married!! Quick - put the girl in a white dress! Gaaah!!
6. There's nothing wrong with Rich, Rich is lovely. And has gorgeous blue eyes.
7. I'm guess I'm glad I'm not one of "those girls" anymore, but I *did* like the attention, Cazzie. Doesn't matter that I'm happily married, I do miss being noticed! Turning invisible sucks big time. But hey, tragic karaoke sounds great.
8. I need to get my head out of the sand and take part in some practical decision-making regarding all of this. Thanks for the advice, Jilly Bean.
9. I am mutating fast into Phase 2 of my life. Or maybe I'm already there! Gaaah! I love Mr Guinness' excellent theory (go forth and read, good people), but I never thought he'd call me a mutant!
10. My 30s are going to be better than my 20s, if I'm anything like JPD. Which is bloody great! Yayness!

I'm so afraid that a married Amanda would be so much less interesting to read about!
And thanks for the comment. You made me blush...thank goodness no one's here to see it.
Oh, and per your last post: Check out this very old blog post; it helped me make the decision to ditch my secure job for the uncertain world of self-employment. Either way, it's a good read:

Jezzy, a lot of what you said in your previous post strikes a chord... I think you and my wife may be evil twins perhaps. :)
Seriously though, I reckon 20's are overrated. Well, *cough* not that I would... ahhh... *ahem*... know any better... ;)
M'lady Jezzy,
NEVER would I call you a "mutant", but a traveler of the journey we call life.
As good, or as bad, as anything in your mind can desire or fear, it is YOU that allows it. Allow only good, only caring, and your journey in life will be well worth the trip.
Mr. Guinness
Jezzy,
I published the remaining three parts of my "Phases of Life" on the blog. I apologize if it offends anyone, or is deemed depressing...it just kind of got away from me and took on a life of it's own.
(You're still early
"phase 3", relax and enjoy! Enjoy Hubby, enjoy life, and enjoy waking up to sunshine and warmth every day, regardless of the weather.)
