I was just out getting a card for our anniversary tomorrow (15 years!) and noticed a sign in the store that October 18 is "Sweetest Day." So I'm posting here just to remind you that you still have around 3 weeks to get your cards and candy for your sweety. Don't wait until the last minute, because the Sweetest Day card selection isn't very big.

A Hallmark holiday, for sure. But my mom always thinks of me, and that makes me feel good. It's a nice thing when your spouse or significant other thinks of you, so I'm all for Sweetest Day.

Happy Anniversary, Mr and Mrs glatt! Will you do the "crystal" anniversary thing?

Is that a euphemism? I'm not up on all the kids' slang.

Yeah, I'd heard of those traditions. I was just kidding. You know, are me and the missus going to try the "crystal thing." Nudge, nudge, wink wink.

Seriously though, this year we planned that to celebrate, I was taking the day off and we'd do something together like go out into the country to pick apples and hit a couple vineyards. But it looks like it will rain, so maybe we'll catch a movie or hit some museums. Have a nice meal at home with the kids for dinner.

I bought a tv last week and we kind of decided that was my present, even though the whole family will be using it, and so I bought her some jewelry for her present. The tv cost a lot more though. And it's got liquid crystals, so I guess it counts.

Friday night we'll have a babysitter and we're going out to a very nice restaurant.

Thanks! We're pretty pleased with it too.

But all plans are off for tomorrow. Little glatt came home from school with a 103 fever, so he'll almost certainly be home from school tomorrow and that blocks all plans. So we'll shoot for Friday instead. Weather should be better then too so it's probably for the best. Also, the jewelry I ordered that was supposed to arrive yesterday but didn't ship out until today will show up at my work tomorrow, so it's better that I'm there to receive it.

Great for both of you - things seem to work out in the end, don't they?

Post Ho
Politico

Meaning: where's all the chatter about McCain "suspending" his campaign? WTF?

I figured there'd be a huge fight, er...discussion regarding this seemingly bad decision.

wow. like clockwork.

as soon as it gets the tiniest bit cold at night, my carpal tunnel acts up and my hands and arms go painfully numb.

time to get out the braces.
