Today is Earl’s birthday, and he’s celebrating it the way he wants. He’s working from early morning to mid-afternoon.
I’m a big devotee of doing whatever you want on your birthday, but I assure you that I wouldn’t be working if this were my day. In fact, I NEVER work on my own birthday. So while Earl did what he wanted, I decided to be a stand-in for him in terms of fun. I went to the Hot Dog Cart for a true Chicago dog at lunch. Then I took a nap, followed by an hour of roller blading. Granted, Earl has never roller bladed, but since I was his proxy I did what I wanted. It was wonderful.
Around 5 PM, we went to dinner – my treat. And then we bought a new Weber grill, something I’d had my eye on. Which means that even though it’s Earl’s birthday I’m the one who got the gift. It couldn’t have been a better day!
