Whenever the summer hits, I get that feeling again. The blood immediately retracts from my extremeties. My throat becomes dry and hoarse. My body begins to shake uncontrollably. My eyes roll back into my head. This is it. I know what is approaching. My wedding anniversary.
Seriously though, it's always strange trying to figure out what to do for my anniversary. I'm fortunate enough to have been with my wife for nearly nine years now. The ninth wedding anniversary calls for pottery or willow. Should I get her a pot in the shape of a willow tree? There's always so much pressure. The worst part is when she says, "Oh, there's no pressure at all. I'm just happy to be with you." That's when you know it's on.
I think maybe we should try our honeymoon again. We flew to France to escape the "Country House" hype. It was so rushed because we had so much to do at the time. Now we have all the time in the world. It's nice to know.
[Not to be a follower or anything of the sort, but I'm taking a little hiatus. This has been a long time coming, and it's my issue more than anything else. My Dave chemistry is not feeling up to par, and I'm far too much of a perfectionist to tolerate that of myself. My solution is to just take a little time, shake it off, get it back together. I can't say how long I'll be, but the last time I took a hiatus I wound up being more active than ever. This probably won't be the case this time, but it's nice to think about. See you all whenever.]
Edit for clarification: [This isn't a real "I'm going away into the woods for five weeks" sort of hiatus. It's more of a posting/AIM hiatus. I'll still be around in comments, so you'll hardly notice, I promise.]
