*whips out block of string cheese* I have no energy to be a polite hostess, so you'll have to help yourselves to the cheese today.
So tomorrow is our 6th wedding anniversary. We have been having some relationship stress lately, so neither of us had made any plans for tomorrow. I have to work a 4 hour afternoon shift, but that's not a huge deal. I figured we'd go out to dinner on Saturday night & make an effort at a nice "date."
However, in the last 48 hours, life has gotten in the way of any anniversary romance:
1) Chris has poison ivy. In his ears, on his arms, on his face, on his neck....and on um, *points down there*...yeah...there. Note to men: Never mow in unknown areas, then come in & go to the bathroom.
2)My 11 year old niece, whom we adore, called last night. She asked me if she could come over Saturday & spend the night because her little brother has a soccer tournament all weekend & she doesn't want to go. Doh! AND she wanted to come home with us Friday night because her family was leaving so early Saturday morning. Double Doh! I told her I'd have to check with Chris & call her back. I agonized & discussed with Chris. I called my sister & said "thanks a lot, dork." She of course had forgotten it was our anniversary & felt semi-bad, although was determined to still find a solution.
3) Patio work. We've gotta get this thing done & this weekend is the time to do it.
So tonight we'll be picking up the stone and celebrating our anniversary. We'll either hit a restaurant on the way home, or pick up some seafood to cook up at home. Not my perfectly envisioned time, but we'll make do.

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY KIM!
Oh Lord, poison ivy "down there"?? That sucks.
Sorry to hear about your wrecked anniversary plans. I'm sure it will all work out.
There could be a silver lining here though. Is there a lotion for poison ivy that you could perhaps use to your advantage?
*nudge nudge, wink, wink*
Maybe pick a night next week that you can spend alone?
Happy Anniversary.
Heh, you don't wanna hear about our anniversary. Your's sounds wonderful comparatively.
*smooch*
Oh yeah, Happy Anniversary! *smooch*
I'm scouring the Lake Michigan maps for our perfect new home, Breezy. :-)
And carey, that's exactly what I suggested!
He has poisin ivy down there? *gigglesnort* Sorry, I just can't help laughing at that.
As long as DH remembers our anniversary with a card, I'm happy. If we go out to dinner on a more convenient evening, that's ok with me also. I don't put too much into actual dates of events. As long as they are remembered.
Happy Anniversay Kim & Chris!!
*giggles at the unfortunate location of the rash*
Soaking in Aveeno Oatmeal body wash is very soothing. Take benadryl.
I am horribly allergic to Poison Ivy so I recognize it at all times and from a great distance, lol. Chris should learn this. It is just as likely to provoke a reaction in midwinter, when only the bare stems are sticking about the snow.
Nowhere is it written that you must have a traditional date on the 'day of' to celebrate an anniversary. I think building an anniversary deck is a lovely thing to do! Think of how many future anniversaries you can celebrate on that deck!
Aww, sorry the plans aren't going well. I think next week will be all around better, for everyone.
At the end of the day, you just have to hang in there. It is what it is. *grin*
Happy anniversary!
MMMMM. I just had a sweet tooth & hit the cafeteria. Aside from the snackwells, the most nutritious chocolately snack I could find was a Power Bar. It's the uber fibered up whole grain series in chocolate pb. It's sooooo yummy!
*pats self on back for passing up the dark chocolate Nestle's stix, chocolate cake, bread pudding, choc chip cookies, donuts, and ice cream (including mud slide!)*
*whacks MM*
LOL at MM.
*spanks Kim*
I'd have gone with the chocolate cake. It's almost the weekend. We all know that we can eat whatever we want on the weekend.
Nookie <--- always looking for an out when it comes to eating chocolate cake
I'm always looking for a fork when there is chocolate cake.
Happy Anniversary. *smooch* Celebrate with a nice quiet, calm, romantic dinner one day next week.
Poison ivy in the ears canNOT be good. Let alone the pee pee. yikes. Make sure it doesn't go in anywhere.
If he's got poison ivy "down there," you certainly don't want poison ivy "in there."
Celebrate next week, and happy anniversary!
Take a raincheck.
When we were married (eloped) there was no time for a real honeymoon, so we didn't take one.
We joke that he still owes me one. We've been all over the world on vacation and each time we joke about whether that makes up for it or not.
Our anniversary celebrations take the same, loose, feel. Matter of fact, you helped us celebrate our 24th when we were in Niagara. Our actual anniversary wasn't until the end of the month, but that was our celebration, nonetheless.
Don't sweat the actual date. Simply enjoy the time together.
Happy anniversary! (And, commisserations from dh to Nolay for his "condition". He's been there, too. Owww.)
Happy Anniversary!
*smooch*
Happy Anniversary!
Do not.. I repeat do NOT get poison ivy on any mucous membranes.
Have some cheese instead.
