Today is officially my man's last day in the sandwich biz. I really can't believe it. 12 years is a LONG time. I think restaurant years are like dog years, or at least they sure feel that way. To celebrate, Bot 1 and I headed to the store to get a suitable balloon and card. (We affectionately refer to the kids as "The Bots" because of a Beastie Boys song that Bot 1 loves.)
Anyways, I hate card shopping. I struggle to find something I like every time. Luckily, there was a great assortment of stickers right next to the cards. I should add here that we were hoping to find a SpongeBob themed card and/or balloon because my man loves watching the show with Bot 1. I also thought it would be fitting to have Mr. Krabbs, a Sandwich King in his own right, on the card.
Once we spotted the stickers we knew just what to do. We bought a yellow, smiley face balloon and a cool enough card that we then doctored in the car with kick ass stickers. The result was better than we had hoped. To add to our great luck, we went to buy some scratch tickets for the card. I hardly ever buy scratch tickets, but I had a feeling one would be a winner. I picked out one and let Bot 1 pick out the other. When she was choosing, she hit the first button twice so we got two of mine. I told her that it was all fate, and that maybe she picked the winning card. Well, sure enough he just scratched the tickets and won on both! $100 on one and $10 on the other. I knew it!! A sign of good things to come I hope.
Once Bot 2 starts sleeping through the night and we find a babysitter, we will go out sans Bots to celebrate an incredible journey properly. I am very proud of my man and the place he helped build. Cheers and here's to the future!!
