9 years and Big Bellied Buddhas




So...yesterday was our 9 year anniversary. It was a busy day..Al leaving for work at 5am, me getting April to school and then visiting preschools for Loubs all morning and doing some research in the afternoon. So, it didn't really cross my mind that Albert would walk in with a big box of Godiva chocs and a nice card. So, we all went out to 'Zen' restaurant, walked along the seawall and came in. Albert produces a big box, that is rather heavy and I think I already know what's inside. The guilt is bad. I know it's either a pair of shisa dogs or a jade buddha I had been eyeing at the shops. I think it's the buddha. I peek in, it is the buddha, a big bellied laughing green jade buddha, that I know wasn't cheap and second of all I hadn't even done anything special for our anniversary. I feel bad. I try and tell myself, well I did throw him a big semi-surprise party for his b-day recently. It doesn't really work. I'll have to think of something nice to do for him, isn't it supposed to be the man who forgets about anniversaries? But, even worse, I didn't even forget. Let's just say I procrastinated...and you know what that means? I will get to it!
