Two years today. Gracious!
We have no real plans because Sinead's week has been pretty insanely awful, father in hospital and brother starting his radio-therapy. She got home last night after one, having had to drive all the way home from Stansted Airport which is a bit of a schlep. Poor wudgy.
I wanted to plan something quite special and extravagant and really spoil her today, but a) we have no money and b) what she really wants to do is sleep past noon and sit on her bottom and just not think.
So, I made her favorite carrot muffins and I'll bring her a cuppa and a muffin round abouts 11:30. And I'll do my best not to say "Seen this one" when she turned the Simpsons on. Might be the best anniversary gift I could offer actually.
One thing that I've realized this anniversary is how different Sinead and I really are. I guess that I always knew that, but it was really brought home when I got into an (admittedly tipsy) discussion last night about what I should do for her this anniversary. All the suggestions of cheap/romantic options were things that I would absolutely love but, upon reflection determine that Sinead would actually not only not love them, but really really be resentful if I suggested them (get up and watch the sunrise together, case in point). I think it's good to have lives independent of each other, but where's the point of too much diversion?

It is all about Yin and Yang I guess. Opposites sometimes make the best couples (they might drive each other crazy at times but...). They balance one another throughout life, especially when it counts. Just think of how amazing it is when she or you find something that is delightful for the other when it includes going beyond what you want and truly knowing her and what it is that she would like. Hey, when I find the guy that is able to do that with me... fabulous! That you considered her desires over yours... that speaks about how much you love her and how right you are together, in my mind.
That said, I do hope that she gave you something that you like... sharing a sunrise or sunset, being treated like a princess... you know, the romance!
Consider how boring it would be to be with someone just like you!
