Catching Up

Oh how I miss my blog sometimes. The last couple of days have been so busy, and yet there were so many things I wanted to post. First a couple of family service announcements:

Happy Birthday to my father-in-law. The best f-i-l a girl could land. Back when The VP and I were dating, I knew our relationship was special - the stuff of future marriage talks. But when I met his folks, it sealed the deal. I wanted into the family, even if I didn't marry The VP. Buppa, you're the best!

I would also like to announce that today is our anniversary. Nine years of marriage. And it is also the third year in a row that I forgot. Yep. Completely forgot. I got a euphoric phone call from The VP late this morning. "Happy Anniversary, dear!" I'd tell you what my answer was, but this is a family-oriented blog.

So, I spent my anniversary running errands and spending a couple of hours with an attorney and our accountant. Time to update the will. It was fairly painless, although I almost choked when we were discussing guardianship issues and the attorney jokingly said, "I hear it might be a little more difficult getting someone to agree to take the younger one." The Governor's reputation has spread.

Before the attorney's office, The VP and I stopped at the Godiva shop in the mall to buy my mom some chocolates. The guy helping us was very enthusiastic about chocolate. He rang us up and asked for our phone number. We completed the sale and left. As we're walking out, The VP says,

"What a wasted opportunity!"

What do you mean?

"Well, that guy is working in a mall. In a shop. In a CHOCOLATE shop. How many women do you think come in there each day? And he has to ask for their phone numbers!"

So?

"That guy was gay. What a wasted opportunity."

Hmm. Never thought of it that way. Perhaps a lot of gay men eat chocolate too.
