Precisely a year from today I will be Mrs. Andy Flood. Today is T-minus 365 days until my wedding date, and therefore it is our negative first anniversary.
I always thought it was a little weird to be able to predict a milestone like that. Like there's no way I'd be able to tell you when my first child will be born, or when I will die. But I can tell you when I will get married. Odd.
Andy and I figured the day couldn't go by unmarked, so we're doing a little bit of celebrating. We tried to sleep in this morning, but woke up at 8 anyway, as usual. We went and got apartment insurance today. Holy crap it's expensive here. We're paying more than twice what we paid before, for a third of the coverage. Then we went shopping for some work shirts for me (didn't actually find too much that I didn't feel too old or too poor to wear), and caught a matinee of Wall-E, which we enjoyed. And we did all this by walking.
We'll have a little champagne with our dinner (leftover spaghetti) and watch some downloaded television before turning in. How boring, I know, but I think it will be nice.
Wedding presents are wedding presents. First anniversary is paper. Second is cotton. Third is leather.
What do you get someone for their negative first anniversary? A Dishwasher. It arrives tomorrow. So it's our Dishwasher Anniversary.
