One down, 60 to go... or more

July 3 2006 is my one year anniversary. Please hold your applause. I thought about doing a sweet, mushy post to honor my love for my husband. But please, is that me at all? No. So the next best thing is a story about married life.

Ok. I love my husband and all but people David is backwards. He is methodical and practical and everything that I am not. Oh and I love him for it. But it drives me nuts sometimes. He likes to use every little pocket in a suitcase, or put things in drawers just to have something in there. Weird.

My story begins by a weird smell in my fridge. So I bought a new baking soda thingy. It still stunk. So I threw out, milk, eggs, cherries, apples, old soda, practically everything. But, since the rents were coming I said, I am getting the clorox and bleaching the whole fridge. Well, I take out the drawers to bleach them first, (I don't use the drawers for anything, they are empty ALL the time) and what is in my veggie drawer?!?!?!

MEAT!!

(yes all gasps and vomiting can commence now) I never ever ever buy fresh meat, unless I am cooking it that night. So, when is this meat from you ask? May, the middle of may. Yes. I know. It is from when we went camping. David emptied out the ice chest and, what a sweet heart, right. I mean really it was nice of him to do.

But true to David he put it in the drawer and I had NO idea anything was in there. Well needless to say it was gross, and smelly. And I am a poet and I could really go in to detail here but I won't because I love you all too much.

Well I finally found the smell in the fridge, and I made a new rule for our relationship.

-No hiding meat products. Place all perishables in plain view.

So, that is my cute story about how fun and exciting married life can be.David is still out to sea, somewhere. Which is ok, it is just another day. Next year he will be in the gulf or possibly on his way home. So cross your fingers anniversary number three will be spent in the same hemisphere. But I will get a phone call and I got beautiful orchids!! I have never gotten them but they are so gorgeous. Awwww thanx David (who will probably read this blog and to his horror is the meat story. love ya baby!)

ps-My parents made it in town ok, and the weather is just perfect, as perfect as a day in spring. certainly stories of our adventures will be posted later. and yes the fridge is smelling great.
