Today is my anniversary of wedded bliss with Salty D.
In all the years we've been stuck to each other, we are fortunate to have laughed ourselves silly far far many more times than we've wallowed in misery. This is a good marriage.
The only major conflicts and fights we ever have are about finding parking spaces. Everything else is easily resolved now. It took a few years to get that right. I'm not sure we'll ever get the parking lot fights resolved but it ain't worth going into therapy.
So I feel kind of sad for people who break up after a year or so of marriage because "It didn't work out" or "It was too hard." If you have a good thing before you move in together and sign papers, then you need to give it more of a shot than just a few months. That's my sweeping generalization. Relationships are hard, just like life.
Celebrities, I'm not talking to you, because if you didn't do shotgun weddings and divorces six months later the magazines would not hold my interest, so, keep it up.
We decided to stop buying each other gifts. Today, D. says "it's all about the boobies."
We're going on a poker run/bike rally for Breast Cancer.
Last nite we went out so he could get the best veal parmagiana in the whole wide world - yes, just a mile from our house - and I had a piece of chocolate cake that the owners made that was the most incredible slice of chocolate heaven EVER.
Later today we're going to see a band at a tavern and some guy named Tommy Ramone is gonna be there. I'm pretty sure my intestines will fall out of my body when I see him. So, that will be a good time for sure.
And now I'm running late as usual, so I must make myself suitable for D. and his mistress (the motorcycle.)
Congratulations on your anniversary! :)
