A brief interlude from ZOMG RL! This may bore you wow people. Move along, nothing to see here.
This Year (4 year anniversary)
Husband and I are sitting on the couch while Twig is watching Madagascar 2 (“LION MOVIE LION MOVIE LION MOVIE LION MOVIE” ok ok you can watch it again.)
Husband: Soon we will have been married 4 years.
Me: Oh crap, that’s today?
Husband: Nuh uh, it’s Saturday.
Me: Our Anniversary is the 14th.
Husband: The 14th is Saturday.
Me: No, it’s today.
Husband: No it’s Saturday.
Me: No, remember, the gas bill was due on the 13th which was yesterday?
Husband: Oh crap, we suck.
Me: totally.
Last Year (3 year anniversary)
(over IM, 3pm, January 14)
Me: Am I supposed to be mad that you forgot or are you supposed to be mad that I forgot.
Husband: Forgot what?
(Pause)
Husband: Oh crap!
The Year Before (2 year anniversary)
(Twig is barely 2 weeks old. In a sleep-deprived haze, I grab some masking tape and a sharpie to label a bottle of pumped breast milk with the date. Hrm… 1/14, looks familiar…)
Me: Oh yeah, happy anniversary.
Husband: Whatever.
Oh God. So it's NOT just us? I thought my SO and I were just particularly lame in the romance department.
My last birthday… he gave me teaspoons. Yes.
Ha, the 3rd Year anniversary is something that could totally happen between the bf and I, haha.
