Today was our ninth wedding anniversary. We didn't do anything special for it--it falling on a Tuesday and all (we might get a sitter and go out Saturday). The kids and I got Denise some flowers and cookies (and I added a book and dice).
Not a card, phone call or e-mail from any friends in the know or family, though so that kinda blew.

This site is about me, my daily rants and/or raves, feelings or whatever I should choose to spout out of my keyboard at any moment. If you choose to stay, be prepared that you may not like what you read. If you don't think you can handle it, now's the time to leave. If you aren't sure you want to see it. Now's the time to go. If you've decided to take that risk and you've still managed to read something that offended you, well that's too dang bad. You've been warned.

I'm so sorry, I had no idea. Well in my habitually late nature...
Happy Anniversary!
Aimee
Oh crap...I am so sorry...did not look at the calendar. To make up, I can watch the kids if you want to go out Friday night...boys will be gone Saturday so I wont have much for entertainment then :( But I will watch them either day.
and following Aimee's suit...
Happy Anniversary!
Love
C
cograts on 9years.
It always surprised me as well that anniversaries never quite get the acknowledgement they deserve. I mean, it's one hell of a lot harder to make it to your next anniversary than to your next birthday, eh? Congrats to you both!
Aimee, Chrissy and Shel: Thanks. I didn't think any of you knew (wasn't sure on you, C.) so I wasn't whining in your direction, in case you felt I was.
Thanks.
9 years is pretty impressive. However, I've always lived under the impression that anniversaries are things best celebrated by the two who are in the marriage and have had nothing what-so-ever to do with the celebration of anniversaries other than my own... ever. Nor do I intend to. Because... it just doesn't seem right. I know I'm the odd one, right? But maybe some of your other friends and family live under the same philisophy....
Anon:
Why celebrate anything of anyone else's then? To me, that viewpoint seems somewhat selfish.
People's birthdays have nothing to do with other people but we still celebrate friends' & family's birthdays, and engagements, graduations, weddings...
Am I to assume you don't celebrate these events with the ones you love either? For me, that's a little bleak.
Aside from that, it isn't as if I seek big celebrations or anything like that; I just think that if you know someone you love or care for is celebrating a happiness, you acknowledge it.
