You can tell my mom is the mother of 3 boys....so I got this postcard from the Rock Bottom Brewery because I'm in the Mug Club...and it's good for a free appetizer or dessert on my birthday. So my mom gets it, and decides that's where we should go for my birthday meal. "Good food, and definitely good beer," she said. Only raising 3 boys could condition her to say that. I was really hoping my best friend would be able to come to Lakeville on my birthday...and then I could introduce that best friend to a Twins game...but I understand that that isn't going to happen. Kind of a bummer. So now it's going to be me, my mom, and my dad. Woopee! My oldest brother is in Iraq, his wife is in Iraq, my other brother will be on the East coast with his wife, and my cousin that's in town will be with her boyfriend. How lame am I? Oh well, it's just 22. My word...I'm getting old.

In other news, SA is going to get 10 times worse in like a week. There are 3 dependable workers there right now. 2 of them are leaving in a week. The other one is me. Damnit! One of them just graduated from high school and he is by far the most enjoyable SA worker I've worked with since ever. Thankfully, with the exception of tomorrow, I work with him every day during his last week. Also, he's just going on leave for college, so that means I might work with him over Christmas as well. So yeah...I'll be stuck working with a bunch of Douchebags for the month of August and a little bit of September. Of course, we just hired some character named Bill....we'll have to see how this "Bill" turns out. More details to follow.
