FANTASTIC EVENING A++ WOULD LIVE THROUGH AGAIN

I just did something I have NEVER EVER done before.

I requested my birthday off from work.

It's on a Friday this year, and it's just after power on here at work will get into full swing, so I have the feeling I will NEED the time and the three day weekend. Best of all, I have a free paycheck the Friday before, so I think I am going to go somewhere for my birthday. Because I CAN. I don't usually make a great big deal about my birthday, but I think this year I'm going to.

Because I CAN. And because I want to.
