Bragging Rights

Excuse me while I brag.
It won't take long and it will be over quick.

1. I made the dean's list. Or president's list. Whatever you want to call it, it only took me forty years to make the honor roll. Pretty exciting stuff.
2. Today is my brother's birthday. The same brother who once put duct tape in my hair and later served in the Gulf War. I think he's pretty special.
3. All of our kids were happy at the same time. The husband and I were actually able to pull off an after-school surprise pizza/movie theatre outing that pleased everyone.

Days like this don't happen very often.
How's that for short and sweet?
