So today was my anniversary, and it didn't go so smoothly.

An anniversary:

1: I got up this morning and to my surprise I had a lovely card left for me from my wife, which plainly said "Happy Anniversary." It still didn't register.

2: I got a text message from my wife once I was at work, which plainly said "Happy Anniversary." Oh crap. I sign up a couple hours of vacation for the afternoon.

3: I leave work and head to Hallmark to buy a card, a Willow Creek figurine, a gift bag, and some tissue paper. Things are looking up.

4: I get home and my wife opens her gift, at which point she tells me it's the same one I got her last year.

5: Then she tells me I got the same one the year before that, too. Now she has 3 of them. :/

6: She calls me out on "Who put the tissue paper in the gift bag so nicely?" I cannot lie, it was the girl that rung me up at Hallmark. :(

7: She calls me out on "Did you even remember it was our anniversary?" Uh... :facepalm: I told her I thought the card was a lovely gesture, and that I didn't notice the "Happy Anniversary" in big letters at the bottom.

8: We go out to eat at Fatz here in town, which actually went pretty well. Things are once again looking up! :)

I LOVE YOU BABY! HAPPY 8TH ANNIVERSARY!

(Please God, let it be our 8th...Thanks)

Nah, it's all good. She's not even mad. I told her I would exchange the gift, which is actually a Willow Tree (whatever, it's some little wood thing from Hallmark), but she said it's fine, she'll just put it in another spot. Somewhere along this hectic road I must be doing something right. ;)
 
Facebook saves me from forgetting!!! Glad it worked out for you..
 
If you have an iPhone set a reminder, could be a life saver.

That means you can only read it when you're out gallivanting around with your wedding ring off.
 
You sure she's not going to smother you with a pillow one night while you're sleeping? I'd sleep with one eye open for the next few weeks!

why would you ever see the inside of the ring?
Unless its there just to remind you when taking it off before flirting w/ floozies
 
I take it off every night before I take a shower and put it back on every morning when I put my watch and dogtags on. I also take it off when I work on my truck. I dont mess around with floozies. My wife will kick my @$$. Im not gonna do anything to mess up the good cooking I get.
 
A user name change to 12bullets wouldn't be out of the question.
I think that 1 bullet may cure this little issue. Anyone who cannot appreciate a kind and honest gesture deserves no gift.
 
This brought back a bad memory. I forgot my wife's birthday a couple years ago, just about like you did with the anniversary. I got up, had breakfast, she just kept feeding me rope during this entire period acting normal never even laying a hint. :flipoff: Never even registered what day it was. So around about 11:30 in the morning I was sitting in my office making some slides for a presentation that afternoon. Got around to put the title and date together, and thought boy that date (April 5) sure seems familiar for some reason....then the oh shit moment hit. So now what to do, continue to ignore it, come clean, make something up.....no real good options there. So I came clean and gave her a call. Like a damn volcano erupting, she was not at all pleased with me. The worst part was I had a card and everything ready to go but didn't use it because it had gone pear shaped so badly. So the next year comes around, I am on top of it this time around, but use the card I had left over from the year before. Which would have all been fine, except for some stupid ass reason I thought it would be funny to mention it was the card from last year, whole damn thing went south again. I hate birthdays now. I had been married to her for 15 years at that point, what made me think mentioning the history of that card is beyond me, I should have known better. So now I have it on my outlook calendar with bells and whistles leading up to April 5 for the next 20 years. Hell after that, probably neither one of us will be wanting to acknowledge a birthday anyway.
 
Hearing these stories remind me why I'm single, keep em coming! Hahaha

no offense but what a baby ass.
 
Here's my ex-wife story...
Back in late 2004, she bought the first 05 Mustang GT in the Asheville area.So one Saturday, I snuck out, went to the muffler shop and had full custom Flowmaster exhaust put on as a surprise. On the way home, I stopped and grabbed myself a biscuit. When I got home and showed her the surprise, she was pissed because I didn't get her a biscuit.
Yeah, I have a thing about anyone who doesn't appreciate a kind gesture.
 
Don't get me wrong, she wasn't bitching and raising hell. She was picking more than anything and had a smile on her face the whole time. She's a good woman and I'm lucky to have her, she continually puts up with my shit, and a lot of it.

When you realize you forgot the birthday, you should have called made reservations at a restaurant, got a sitter lined up, and then "surprised" her...I wanted you to think i forgot your brithday to make the surprise better babe

Thats works well...or uh.....so I heard.
