So basically it's a win all around for me, cuz I get to drink some yummy milk and get paid for it. Oh, actually there's another happy thing that happened on Wednesday- one of my friends' birthdays was on Monday, so Wednesday night we had cake for her and watched Saving Mr. Banks and just general hanging-outy-ness, which is always a blast. Plus, you know, cake. Then Thursday I was actu
