Wii heart Neiman's-Tim and I celebrated our first anniversary yesterday. We had dinner at the Dream Cafe. This is where we met in 2005. We also exchanged gifts. We don't normally do the gift thing but have decided that each anniversary we will buy a gift for the other that is the traditional gift for that anniversary year. This year was "paper". Thinking of a "paper" gift was hard. Trust me, my husband does not want monogrammed stationary. This is the man that at one point thought that boxer shorts made great oven mitts. This is not a stationary man. So I gave him a book on Wii Tips. Now we don't own a Wii so I had to get him the Wii as an accessory to his gift. Yes, I pushed the limits on the "paper" gift. Now my gift...he handed me a $1 bill as a hint. I had no clue so he gave me an ugly brown shipping box, which further makes my argument that he would not have appreciated a traditional "paper" gift. After, I sort through the packaging paper there is a very pretty box with a ribbon proudly stating the store name "Neiman Marcus". Maybe he would have liked the matching card/envelope set? My sweet husband bought me the MK wallet that goes with my purse. It is to hold "paper" money. Even if you all think we cheated, we had fun and are going to continue this next year with "cotton".
Reefs-I love Reef flip flops!!! My friend, Wendy, introduced me to them last year and now I refuse to wear any others. I needed a new pair, specifically in brown, so I headed to the mall this morning. The first store did not have them. Next store did not have them. I was pressed on time so I almost considered buying a pair of Roxy flops but just could not make myself. Third store had them! Now, I had to call Tim and tell him I could only find the pair I wanted at Nordstrom's and the price was a little different than normal. The tone of his voice told me he was not too happy about this (he was leaving the bank, preparing for my "Third World Excursion"). What he didn't know is I still had some North Park Gold left from school so my reef's only cost $1!!! Actually, 93 cents to be exact. He laughed.
Gotta go finish packing!
