I felt quite a bit better after writing the previous post, just getting that out of my system.
When Amy came home from the office outing, she told me that the Seymour guy I’d been complaining about didn’t even show. So the office females started talking about how he sounds like a girl on the phone and how he says “peekaboo” in place of “hi.”
So enough of that. The guy’s got enough problems.
-
“Your friend left a message,” my mom told Amy when she got home,
“She said happy anniversary.”
“What?” Amy and I said simultaneously.
Then it dawned on us.
“You didn’t know, did you?” we asked each other, clearing each other’s conscience.
Our wedding anniversary. Our TEN year wedding anniversary. We both forgot it. Again.
“We’ve been married for ten years,” Amy smiled.
I read that the tenth year anniversary present is something tin or aluminum to represent malleability and flexibility. (Diamond stores will tell you it’s diamonds though.) We didn’t intentionally get each other anniversary presents but coincidentally, I scheduled dance class for us this Sunday. Plus, I also got Amy (and myself) a netbook this week – she really enjoys using it … in bed … to look up sales at Target in bed, I mean. That’s certainly more romantic than crotchless lingerie she would never wear. So it all worked out.
We laughed about our forgetfulness. Shortly afterwards, we put the kids to bed, and promptly passed out next to them in their separate beds.
Such is marriage after ten years.
TECHNICAL DIFFICULTIES
On an unrelated note, I recently discovered that some versions of Internet Explorer don’t show the link-filled sidebars on this site’s main page. I may try to fix it eventually, but man, why are people still using IE at all – Firefox is just better and safer.
What bothers me most is that it looks (to some IE users) like I don’t link my online friends or anyone else for that matter, which is lame, especially in this dying age of non-commercial non-celebrity personal blogging. Thanks for sticking with the nearly extinct, my friends (by now, only friends still read this).
For now, I’m going to do it old-school and actually make a PAGE of LINKS. I added some people I’ve been meaning to for a while and removed some that aren’t updating anymore (but if you start again, tell me!). If you don’t have a nickname, it’s because I couldn’t think of one, find one, or I probably don’t know you well enough to offend you. (I particularly like the nicknames I gave to sweet GG’s site – Double Gs and Tracy’s group blog – Party of Foxy).
