almost a week. . . .happy birthday to me. . .

i'm ashamed to say it has been almost a week since i have blogged. . . what a week it has been. . . .i've been doing the 8am to 8pm work thing, and it seems to have been rip on brendan week too. but, such is life. . .

i had a trip planned next week to go visit my uncle gene in kentucky with ewa - i had been talking about this trip for about 4 months now, and yesterday my boss 'unapproved' my vacation. . .i'm not going to get into specifics, but needless to say i am pretty pissed off about. gene is one of the most important people in my life, and going out the farm to visit him is one of the things i enjoy most in life. on top of that, i couldn't wait for ewa and gene to meet. . . they still will - only i won't be there. . . .ewa is still going - she is in a wedding in nashville that weekend (only a few hours from gene in kentucky), so she is going to spend a few days with gene - she will love it. . . i hope to get many drunk calls from the two of them. . .

on top of it all, today is my birthday - i am the ripe old age of 28 today - i plan to celebrate by getting blindly drunk tonight. . . is there any other way?? this is also ewa's last day of work at her old job, and kicks off 3 weeks of vacation for her in between jobs . . .

ok, the stomach is rumbling and some of the work crew are taking me to lunch . . . until we meet again . ..
