Hah--today we went out to breakfast at our nearby diner-type place and halfway through Toby looked something up on his phone. I'm sure other people look at us and think "Oh, too bad, they can't put their phones away and talk to each other for just one meal!" What they don't realize is that we're usually looking something up that came up in conversation, to add to it, because it drives us both nuts not to have facts germane to a discussion when there's the entirety of human knowledge* right there at our fingertips. But I suspect I am preaching to the choir here.

At any rate, he looked at the date and realized it was our anniversary. We'd both forgotten it.

As the first anniversary gifts are supposed to be paper, we ceremonially exchanged napkins, then finished our meal.



* Well, not all of it, I admit.

Ha! That's awesome. Will wasn't even in the same state for our first anniversary. I spent it with my dog and 50,000 fleas. I like yours so much better.

Yikes, fleas! That was one of the things that drove us to get out of our rental and buy our house (well, the management company and owner not willing to spend the money on an effective way to get rid of the squirrels in the attic that brought the fleas, really).

You guys are almost as bad as us. We couldn't remember when we started dating, so we picked an arbitrary date. Then we couldn't remember that date. So...we just don't have an anniversary.

It does mean that you can celebrate your anniversary whenever you get bored, with the philosophy that one day you'll get it right!
