Or “Today is January 3rd in My Mind”

January 3rd marked the two year anniversary of My Lovely Wife foolishly agreeing to marry me. (Sucker.)

HOWEVER…

On January 2nd of this year, we made a binding contract with two clauses (which I will now share with you, my playdough-digesting readers):

BINDING CONTRACT

Clause the First: We would not celebrate our anniversary until Friday January 5th.

Clause the Second: WE WOULD NOT BUY EACH OTHER AAANNYYYTTTTHHHIIINNNGGG FOR OUR ANNIVERSARY THIS YEAR.

We made this agreement. Forcefully.

And then I paused. And looked deep into her eyes and said, “REALLY?”

And she said, “Yes. Really.”

So… I went blissfully into the 3rd, safe in the knowledge that I would limit myself to repeated renditions of the “Happy Anniversary” song.

HOWEVER…

At the end of the day on the 3rd, I picked up My Lovely Wife from work. Where she proceeded to hand me an anniversary card. WHICH SHE BOUGHT FOR ME. She then proceeded to berate me for the fact that I had posted NOTHING on this site relating to the anniversary of our eternal binding.

I did the only thing I could.

I stated, and kept kept on stating — in an increasingly whiny aggrieved tone and spanning the past two days — the clauses of our contract and scolded her for DARING to break our solemn pact.

This… she mocked. And repeatedly dug her fingernail into my bellybutton. Which she felt was her due.

HOWEVER…

Time passes and that which did not occur on the 3rd has now come to pass on the 5th.

Thusly, and in accordance with our agreement, today is our — ahem — “anniversary”. [See Clause the First.]

So, in honour of the anniversary of our wedding day (and in payback of the mockery and bellybutton abuse) I hereby declare the next month (31 days starting now) to be “REASONS I LOVE MY LOVELY WIFE MONTH”.

Everyday will see me reveal one more reason that I love My Lovely Wife.

Um.

That’s it for the ground rules.

These reasons will not be in any order. Nor does this mean that I only have 31 reasons for loving My Lovely Wife.

But I am fairly certain she will use each reason as an excuse to dig her fingernail in my bellybutton.

Let the games begin.
