Big Day O' Celebration!

Oh. Hi. Today and tomorrow are going to be pretty exciting for many many reasons. The biggest reasons being:

1) It is my aunty MHP's birthday today! Some people feel pretty blase about birthdays....but I'm pretty sure the majority of the members of our family really know how to celebrate birthdays. They are definitely joyous days indeed. (*ummm, my b-day is 08/04 yo.)

(oh, yes, and it was my brother's b-day on Monday and I didn't give a little bloggy to him for which I apologize. I did call him and all that jazz. He had a great day and I'm proud that he, too, knows how to celebrate! He's part of the group mentioned on MHP's blog as "May Birthdays")

2) My cousin DJ is an ultimate Chicago Cubs fan. Despite many other family trips to Wrigley, he has never managed to be along. Today we get to fulfill a hugely important dream of his to get to a game at Wrigley. It is going to be so awesome.

3) Along with cousin DJ, there's everyone else that will be at the Cubs game! My cousin Mel (just as excited as DJ), birthday girl MHP, the venerable Iwanski, AND (AND!) I have Bethy and Kevin flying all the way from DC! It's exciting!

4) Worthy enough to make this list: I'm going to have a "real" ID to drink a beer at Wrigley. Last time I was there I was clearly over 21, but because my WI license still had the red box around my picture, they refused to serve me a damn beer. Jerkfaces.

5) Tomorrow we (Beth, Kevin, Jean, and I) have a trip to Door County WI planned. Who knows what is going to end up on "The Clipboard of Fun" (best itinerary phrase EVAR) once we get up there. I really like Door County....ummm.....just ignore all the people up there and it's all good.

6) Because of aforementioned Door County trip tomorrow, I get to play Jukebox Friday TODAY! I really really wanted to find the song "Middle Management" by Bishop Allen for todays' post, but they don't have any videos made of this song. If you get a chance to listen to this song, please do so. For some reason, it screams "BASEBALL" to me and seemed fitting for today. Instead I'll kick it old-skool today with some INXS. The reason for INXS is that I once knew a guy up in Door County who looked like a shorter version of Michael Hutchence. He even wore his hair exactly the same way. I even drove Michael Hutchence look-alike to Green Bay to buy a beautiful white guitar once. WEIRD. RANDOM. MEMORIES. I love INXS songs and this one especially puts me in a great mood. How fitting for this grand early Jukebox Friday!

Catch y'all in a few days. *muah*
