So after a hideously stressful week at work, tomorrow I'm hitting the highway and heading home to celebrate my youngest brother's 21st birthday....and you can officially consider my mind blown that it's actually here cuz wow, I remember him when he was all of 10 minutes old and 21" long. So yeah, not only is he officially legal all over the world now, I think I've also sprouted about a million more grey hairs just thinking about it.
So what do you give a young man for his 21st?
Before you all start to chide me for being so clearly useless when it comes to being a big sister & gift-giver, know this:
a) he's *impossible* to shop for....he has few interests (aside from video games) and the Vancouver Canucks (that he lets us know about anyways) - he won't wear the clothes I've bought him and doesn't drink (and I don't have any sort of contact to get him some of what he does indulge in)
b) he's going with his dad to visit his sister & her family (including the new baby) so the money will actually come in handy when he's in London/Paris/Berlin as I'm pretty sure he doesn't have much saved on his own
So that's my big plan for the weekend - what are the rest of you planning? Any crazy good fun on the horizon? Let me live vicariously thru you all as I've apparently decided to voluntarily exile myself to the crack of Satan's ass (yes it's that hot & while not on the map, it is my pet name for the city of my birth - but it's not all bad, we are also the home of the world's largest teepee) for the next 48+hrs.

Having little experience with such major coming of age birthdays (my middle brother was not around for his 21st & I was at university for mine), I was a little stumped until I decided to stop being creative & just give him some cold, hard cash.
