A Happy Birthday, indeed

My family all hugged me and told me Happy Birthday this morning, and they called it in to my radio station.  On the way to work, the station interviewed Trace AdkinsYup, it was shaping up to be a great day.

When I got in to work, I had a gift bag (beer and Pringles) and a couple of cards on my desk.  Then, I saw the McDonalds bag in my chair.  It was my favorite, a fruit and yogurt parfait and a gift card!  I got many birthday cards, and even some gambling money for Vegas.  LOL

I got home to cards from the family, and a few in the mail.  My mother-in-law called me today, my aunt called me, and my sister-in-law sent me a text.  Yup, everyone treated me like a star.

Now, I must finish packing for my trip.  Tomorrow's entry will be from Sin City.  Don't worry, I only play the penny slots, and there's not much time even for that.  I don't stay out late, and I spend most of my time working.  Still, it's fun to see that side of life.  I would NEVER want to live there, but it's an interesting trip.

This is also going to be my longest business trip ever so far.  6 days away from home.  Think good thoughts for my family, would you?  Kevin's been told that he has to go back to work on Monday.  The timing couldn't be worse, with me leaving town, but Mom said she'd help.

OK, back to wedging too many items into a single suitcase.
