Yes, it is my birthday. No, I don’t care.
Actually, it’s tomorrow. I’ve never been one much for celebrating myself. Besides, the last interesting birthday happened a few years ago. At least it was interesting from what little I remember of that one. There’s no more milestones until there’s a 0 in the ones place. Even then, I probably won’t be that excited about it.
So what am I doing for my birthday? Well, I’ll start off by finishing up my work week. Then i’ll probably sleep a bunch, maybe run a few errands. I gotta come off the overnight schedule this weekend anyway, so sleep is gonna be wonky as it is. It’ll be typical St. Patrick’s Day dinner around here.
For the weekend I’m getting up damn early Saturday to go to MD for their Odyssey Tournament. That’s right, one isn’t enough. The way I see it, the MD tourney is just for fun - it doesn’t come with the hard work and sleepless days that DE’s does. After that I may come back to Delaware. Or, I might go to DC, depending on how the winds blow me.
Sunday night will be the family dinner/get-together/etc. I still need to figure out a dish for the meal. That I’m looking forward to, just cause its nice to have the family around. That, and my sister is making the cake (as she does most years) and has promised something very interesting. That’s my kind of suspense.
Also, I’ve had a few questions about why I don’t want anything for my birthday. It’s not really because I don’t want anything, it’s mostly because I just have expensive toys. I just don’t see the need for anyone to shell out the money for my crazy gift ideas. But that’s me.
