addiction

We have been celebrating our anniversary on July 26th for many of the 24 years we've been together. At some point over the course of those two dozen years we just decided to pick a date that we could call our anniversary. It certainly helped in tracking the years gone by. But the date was basically made up... invented for convenience.
Now -we have a new, 'real' date. So we will celebrate then, but for old times sake, we thought we should at least honor this day with a dinner out.

Plus we were too tired to cook on Sunday.

Tired in a really good way.
Tired in a way where you may just need to nap a bit. Perhaps several times during the course of the day.


So after we dropped off our little overnight guests we went out to be served. To have someone bring us food and drink while we sat, relaxing and enjoying each others company.

It was just after dinner that our addiction reared its ugly head.
We were full.
We were tired.
And yet there, right there, on the way home was...
Starb*cks.
Home to the highly addictive Frappuccino.
What the hell do they put in those things?
We simply
had.
to.
have.
one.

There we were physically exhausted, stuffed full of sushi only to be topped off with a huge cup of frozen caffeine.

Not only did we clean the kitchen, vacuum and put away the port-a-cribs when we got home - but we poured another glass of wine and enjoyed it by the firepit.

Ahhhh. They are tasty. And cold. And refreshing. I actually want one right now.. the morning after... I could use one - just one...a small one - then I'll stop. Really.

Happy Anniversary!

As far as addictions go, that one is not too bad. It's legal, it's relatively affordable, and socially acceptable. Could be oh-so-much worse...

We had to pick a date as well about 18 years ago. We could go with when we met, when we really started dating, when we committed to one another, when we signed domestic partner registry, when we got married in shul, when got married by the state.

Like you, we've usually celebrated in July, our "picked out date". But we've got June too. Then there's October, when we met, when married in shul and when we decided to get legally married, we picked the same dang date in October, so we'd BOTH remember it! ;-)

Mazel tov on 2 dozen years---the pic is absolutely adorable. Dunno what crack they put in frapps, but many people find them irresistible...as I'm sure you still find your wife after all these years.

Don't know which one is cuter!

Bing and I celebrate our anniversary on the day that we first um....did it. You know. That stuff. There.

But, whenever someone asks us what day we use, we always lie our heads off and say it was the day that we first kissed....

By the way, great photo...
