Grumpy Beastie's Other Lair

So this weekend was my mom's birthday. She is very sensitive about it. Amazingly, she ended up having a good time. She got my card on time but not my present. At work the announcer announced my mother's birthday and age every hour on the hour and then whenever she felt like it. The people my mom works with made her up a big gift basket of random stuff, which my mom ended up likening. They also make her a t-shirt and a cake. Even the truck driver that she always flirts with gave her a present. After work, Jen's mom and my aunt took her to dinner, drinks, and a concert, which amazingly enough my mother also liked. My mother is in just absolute shock that she enjoyed her birthday and I’m very happy for her. The next day she went to dinner with my sister (the oldest one, the only one that counts, duh.) I have yet to hear how that went.
Jen also finally got her video that I made her for her birthday (its only about 4 months late). She likes it very much and I’m very glad.
I’ve taken up watching Star Trek in the mornings 'cause I’m awake and there is nothing else on at 6 am on a Saturday except old Star Trek. This week they had intergalactic hippies on the show, which I found highly amusing and have no idea why I’m telling you.
Only 4 more hours till I get off work.
