Today The VP and I celebrated our tenth anniversary. I solicited elsewhere for some gift ideas, but decided against the traditional tin or aluminum. I got him the same thing I bought last year. And the year before. Nothing. And once again, he outdid me by hauling out the greeting card he had hidden away in his sock drawer.
I take it back. I did do something for our anniversary. After all, ten years is a bit of a milestone, no? I shaved my legs. Yep. I was a bit sorry to do it. Due to the cold weather this past week, I've been wearing long pants and forgoing the daily ritual. Another day or two and I would have been just getting past scratchy and prickly. Oh well. He's worth every nick.
Other happy news today: Hoocher was tried by the staff of the nursing home and found not guilty due to extreme provocation. I talked to the volunteer coordinator today; she asked me to bring him back. She didn't blame the other dog, but she made it clear she didn't blame Hoocher either. She checked with the director of the place, and Hoocher was emphatically encouraged to return. So we will return on Tuesday and Hoocher can once again commence hitting up the old folks for popcorn and a spot on the end of their beds.
Finally: Good luck to Bob and Ross at the Chicago Marathon this weekend.
Now, I'm off to bed and to reassure The VP I won't draw blood when I crawl under the sheets and snuggle up next to him.
Have a great weekend.
Posted by Cathy at October 7, 2005 10:31 PMHappy Anniversary! Wow, ten years passes quickly, but then, we have filled it with a lot.
Mark mentioned you stopped by yesterday. Hope you're enjoying this nice weekend. We're of to the annual Norwegian Supper at church. Mark's bus boy supervisor this year, Eric will be waiting tables, Jenny manning the bake sale (for which we've been baking our little hearts out: double recipe of krumkake, Norwegian butter cookies, 4 loaves white bread, and 6 dozen cinnamon rolls - our house smells deeelicious!), and Sydney and I will pitch in where needed. I may be waitressing. A fun note is the History Channel will be there to record for a Christmas special exactly what a Norwegian Supper is all about. Good thing we don't have smellevision, you know, lutefisk and all...
We're so glad Hoocher has been reinstated! Nursing Home Tuesday wouldn't be quite the same without him.
My congratulations and best wishes on your anniversary.
May you have many more.
