I stayed up having a beer with my dad last night -It's so great to see him. My parents came in to town to watch our kids/house while my wife and I go out of town. A friend from High School/College is getting married this weekend in Memphis, so we are headed to TN. I've never been to Memphis before, not sure what to expect. It's our 10 year wedding anniversary this weekend and I had a big night out planned at a fancy restaurant (in memphis) and my wife said, "nope, I want to get some cheese, fruit and champagne and stay in our hotel room all night." -I'm totally, completely and 100% cool with this. You know how each anniversary has a specific type of gift you are supposed to give? Well, this year is diamonds. DOH! -I have a good friend that is a smithy in Ann Arbor and she helped me find something nice for my bride. A common complaint from my wife is that I have more attention to detail in my business life than I do in our personal life. It's true. So, I put together a powerpoint presentation of the state of our marriage: Where we started, where we are and where we are headed. It's pretty cool, I think she'll appreciate it. 10 years. It really is amazing. I'm looking forward to some time alone. That said, I'll be away from Hubski starting tomorrow till about Monday. I'll probably have a few moments here and there to check in, but have a great weekend everyone.
That awkward moment when you laugh out loud in a starbucks, sitting alone at a table.
You're getting hosed, homeboy. The traditional 10 year gift is aluminum or tin. That diamond thing is a recent cash grab by the inventors of such brilliant ideas as Sweetest Day and the like.
Oh, don't worry, the band is made of tin and the "diamonds" are a painted aluminum alloy. She'll never know.
I thought about this too. Here's my conjecture: the librarians are only archiving what people do, not suggesting what they should do. They probably see in periodicals and the like what trends are now being observed, and they are studiously documenting. That, or some enterprising librarian whose 10th anniversary was approaching is pulling a fast one on her husband.
I appreciate you giving librarians the benefit of the doubt. Who ever heard about librarians on the take. On the other hand, the fictional librarian Lillian of Hubskina is sending a bunch of Heros of Hubski to Tidder -- she's probably on the take. Don't trust her. eightbitsamurai
It is also my parents' anniversary this weekend! The 6th. My mom is taking my dad to a Dallas Cowboys game. He is a lifelong fan but he has never seen them live. At first he was very blase about it but I think it's a perfect gift, especially as she doesn't give a shit about football, and now apparently he is getting excited. That means that I get the house to myself this weekend! Nothing crazy planned, no parties or anything, but it will be very nice. I hope you have fun TNG. And I hope your wife is like "Honey I didn't tell you I wanted to stay in the hotel room so I could watch a powerpoint presentation" and then pulls you around by the tie, and graceful fade out
The powerpoint thing made me laugh, but it's cute. I think she'll get a kick out of it. And congrats on 10 years :)
