The World's Common Tater

For once, it shouldn’t be hard to find good things this week. It would be sad if I couldn’t find good things in my birthday week.

1. I started out the week with a 90-minute delay at work, so my three day weekend had a small extension.
2. I had a reason to leave the branch again Thursday. Regardless of the reason, it’s always nice to get out of the building and see people I don’t normally see.
3. We got a yes to explore a possible class at work when I was expecting a no.
4. I went out with work friends after work on Friday night. It was slightly better than sitting on my couch watching TV.
5. We picked the kids up and went to lunch at Old Ebbitt Grill in DC for my birthday.
6. We spent a little time wandering around DC after lunch instead of heading straight home.
7. A lot of people took the time to say happy birthday to me on Facebook even though I’m a terrible person who never takes the time to do that for my Facebook friends.
8. My son’s presentation was accepted to a conference in Portland in June.
9. Kentucky beat Tennessee last night. Beating Tennessee is always good. Beating them when they are #1 is especially good.
10. I still have two more days off before I have to go back to work.

Here’s hoping I have a snow day on my list for next week.
