This week is our 25th (silver) anniversary. I think of all of my life's accomplishments, finding a woman who would put up with me for 25 years ranks as #1.

Instead of the standard roses, this year I called a national florist chain (after their website would not allow me to enter the correct delivery date) and ordered an anniversary bouquet. They had 2 different anniversary bouquets, both called 'The anniversary bouquet' with similar product codes. Marci loved it, but when I got home I realized 'They had sent the wrong f***ing anniversary bouquet'. Call me crazy, but when you pick something to attach a very personal sentiment, you have a picture in your mind of how it should be. I had looked over both and picked out one that was unlike anything I had done in the past. It had roses, but it also had Stargazer lilys. It had complexity, texture, and what I hoped was a nice smell from the roses and lilys. I ordered a larger arrangement.

Instead I got a smaller arrangement with more roses and alstroemeria, a boring white flower, in a vase that I rejected because it reminded me of a funeral urn. I called them today and told them to fix it.

Now I know how bridezilla felt.

On a brighter note we had dinner with my parents to celebrate last weekend, Marci and I had dinner alone during the week, and we are having dinner with friends this weekend to celebrate.

Maybe I should change my Cellar name to 'The Silver Surfer'. Naah, I'd probably get sued.:p
