[one year] 11:28 PM
So how did we spend our one year anniversary?
Well, after Boy pulled his back during kickboxing he spent most of the evening splayed across the couch hopped up on a pain pill watching Miss Congenialty 2: Armed and Fabulous. I made mac'n'cheese, bought a dozen roses, sour patch kids (his favorite next to lemonheads), and sat through Transporter 2, which was actually enjoyable.
He said, "I'm sorry this is how we're spending our anniversary."
I said, "Why? This is us being us, never making a big show of things or needing to do something."
It's true, happiness is a big comfy couch and someone to sit next to.
Later in the evening I went to a bar and scored some pills to ease the pain.*
* I had Jason bring some of his surgery left-overs to help Boy get through the night before the doctor tomorrow
it has been my experience (extensive experience) that non-descript, unidentifiable pills are often the best.

You must have married an action hero. Or a stuntman.

Posted by: Boy at August 30, 2006 8:12 AMCongrats on the one year-ness!
I agree wholeheartedly: your anniversary is YOUR day, and you should spend it just being a happy couple (well, maybe minus the back pain) and acknowledging your love.
Nothing beats candy, comfy couches, and mac'n'cheese.
For our 3 year, Stephen and I lounged around the house in our PJs all day and went for dinner at a little Italian place around the corner, made plans for Year Four, and had some wine. No serenades, planes writing things in the sky, or people jumping out of cakes.
