The Big 5-0

Well, today's the day. I'm officially 50 (pronounced fity). What have I received for me birfday so far? 50 $1.00 bills from my mom. Jimmy Buffett tickets (which I purchased myself), somewhat tipsy on Friday after work.
I sent out a Power Point presentation at work a week ago inviting people to come celebrate with me at Jax Pub. It had pictures from age 3 months thru to today. Everyone enjoyed it. And there was a good turn out at the bar. Now the shop floor got off work at 2:30 so I took a half day vacation to start early with them all. They were also celebrating receiving their yearly bonus.
I think I behaved myself rather well. I only did one shot of some kind of specialty drink and had beers lined up all evening. Everytime someone new showed up to the bar they also brought me a beer. At one point I had 5 beers lined up and waiting. I gave just one away to someone else who drank Miller Lite. The rest, I managed to take care of myself.

Then the wife showed up and she let it be known that it was time to hit the road. Bummer. But it was probably a good idea as I was starting to get a good head on. I'm just glad that my truck knows the way home. LOL.

So today, of course, I've taken the day off work. I received a coupon from Bergner's for 25% off to celebrate me birfday so I think I'll go do a little shopping later. Other than that, I plan to drink a few too many more beers today.
