Mom's 50th Birthday Extravaganza
Adrenaline. That word and all it denotes and connotes accurately describes much of today's happenings.
Let's start from last night, around 20h00. I left work late because Dave asked me to put his closing numbers up. Which reminds me, I'm going to check it right now...
--->>>
Okay, just got from checking his sales numbers and I found a mistake. Sorry, David, but this is what happens when you ask me to do something late on a Friday afternoon the day before my mother's birthday. Like I didn't have enough fucking things on my mind. No more favours.
<<<---
I got home late last night, around 19:30, actually. Didn't have time for dinner, which is as per usual this week. I opened the door to my room, dropped my bag on the bed, picked up the car keys off the glass table and walked out of the house. Somewhere in-between all that I convinced JR to come with me.
We went to Staples #1 to look for an easel and some kind of board to put the picture of my mother on to; a poster for guests to wish her happy wishes. Went to Wal-Mart to check out prices. Went to Staples #2 to grab foam easel. They didn't have foam board. Will have to wait till the morning 'cause it's 21h00.
