Best Laid Plans
Felt too much, did she feel a thing?
Long, dark hair, never saw her cry
In two halves I was torn
My maybe love who wouldn't even try
-- She Wants Revenge "She Loves Me, She Loves Me Not"
Today marks another milestone in my life, it is my 10-Year Anniversary being owned by shackled to married to M. We were just a couple of dumb kids bumping into life and each other trying to figure out who we were when we tied the knot. And look at us, now we're just a couple of dumb adults doing the same thing.
We'd planned a long time ago that if we made it to 10 years (our biological parents didn't) we would renew our vows in numerous locations (it was different place every time we discussed it). And there were talks of cruises, trips around the world, and last year we landed on going to Mexico and that was final. Then our plans fell through a few months ago and we decided we'd take a cruise. Then that fell apart. The day before yesterday we planned to go to Orlando for the weekend and that ended poorly. And then today, I dropped by her office to surprise her with flowers and to take her out to lunch but she'd already left with her crew.
Tonight she's going out with her sisters and undoubtedly I am working all weekend, and neither of us are really broken up about it. Seems like there should be something more though. Something to celebrate that two kids from broken homes crash in to each other as teens and decide to take a stab at being a family. Maybe a cookie, or a badge (as M commented this morning), something that says "Hey, I can still tollerate the ass I married ten years ago!"
