How to Say I Love You
August 11th, 2007Today, my fair reader, is my EIGHTH anniversary. Yep, Prince and I have endured living under the same roof for 8 full years now.
So, I buy him this VERY sweet card. It was cavity inducing.
Then this conversation ensues:
Me: Happy 8th. I’m SO happy that we are past our 7th year.
Him: Why?
Me: 7 was a hard year. It was the closest I’ve ever gotten to feeding you rat poison.
Him: Oh how sweet, you were thinking of poisoning me?
Me: Well, only a little and only for short periods of time. It isn’t like I planned it and purchased rat poison or anything. YET. (I say with that warning face.)
Him: Could you get me a cup of coffee, without the rat poison, please.
In case you were wondering, there is no amount of explaining that you were NOT planning on poisoning your husband — but making a joke.
(And in case anyone was curious, we don’t OWN any rat poison. Nope, none. Yes, I checked.)

Congratulations to you and the Duke! B and I have been living together for 7 and our 7th wedding anniversary is coming up in November. I like not being there yet as we can tease each other about how itchy we are going to feel.

You guys have more anniversaries than I can keep up with! We, on the other hand, have just one of the normal kind, and we sort of occasionally mention the anniversary of our engagement, we just don’t actually know the date - it was the Tuesday before Thanksgiving. About a hundred years ago!
Hope this one was a good one - I know it’s been a crazy week for you guys!

Happy anniversary! Sixty-four more, and you’ll catch up to what my grandparents got.

As an FYI, final death threat count on the day:
4
I think that’s a new record!

Slightly belated, but sincerely felt, Happy Anniversary!
Now I have the Flintstones anniversary song in my head.
