...maybe I'll break out the assless chaps tonight...
Today is our three-year anniversary. By blogger tradition, I should be writing a sappy post about how much I love my wife, and what a great time we've had these last few years, and how she completes me, and blah blah blah. Then I'd post a picture of us on our wedding day, noticeably thinner and happier, and you'd all comment on how awesome we looked and congratulate us.
Can we just close our eyes and pretend that that all the above has happened and move on?
Cool. Thanks. When your kid wakes up sounding like the Enterprise will self-destruct it's hard to motivate. Besides, I'm a little sapped out from all the mothers/fathers/uncles/second counsins twice-removed days lately. And you probably came here for this anyway.
That doesn't mean we're not celebrating, mind you. We have a tradition of going away for the weekend for our anniversary, which we've accomplished precisely one time since the tradition was initiated. Last year we had some complications, and last weekend's wedding made this year unmanageable. We do, however, have a little something cooked up for this evening.
We've been invited to a press screening of the new Ed Burns movie, The Groomsman. I got an e-mail from Mr. Burns' associate
a few weeks ago who saw my sporadic posts on DadCentric and invited us. Apparently it's a comedy about five men in their mid 30's, who are struggling with
growing up, especially as it relates to the issue of fatherhood. Hell, that might as well be DadCentric's tagline. Anyway, the screening is tonight and Oodgie and I are gonna check it out and catch a bite to eat afterward.
Finally, free schwag! It may not be as glitzy as other things, but it's not bad.
Oh, and Happy Anniversary, Oodgie!
Well, happy anniversary, anyway. You guys looked a bit square way back then. (ugh)
Way to go on the free stuff.

I loved the little Lego people. Too cute. Happy anniversary. It is not a law that you have to write about it at all. Hell, I didn't even do a father's day post for my husband. The earth did not end. Have fun tonight. :)

You know I am just always trolling for a droolable Cusack reference sure.
Happy Anniversary. Without her you would be better -- well you know the rest..

Happy anniversary. We go on a trip every year on our anniversary weekend, too. It gets easier as the kid gets older, believe me. One year we missed altogether because we had a six-week-old baby. Enjoy your night anyway!

Happy anniversary, CBoy and Oodgie!

Happy Anniversary! We got married the day before Thanksgiving nearly 13 years ago (don't ask us the date--we never remember since it always moves!) That has always worked to our benefit to not have to spend Thanksgiving with relatives since that was our "Anniversary Weekend."
Congrats of the schwag!
