Five Years is Wood
What a freakin' pain in the ass it's been.
Originally, Tine and I were going to go away for our 5th year anniversary this October. We were going back to the same B&B on Cape Cod we stayed at on our honeymoon. So, feeling like we deserved something, we just booked it on the spur of the moment. Which should teach us a harsh lesson.
Turns out that Patty's is getting married again on that weekend (and this time I get an invite). That woman has been a thorn in my side since we were children, I swear. We don't find this out until last week. So that puts all our plans into upheaval mode. We have to bounce around a series of dates so we can still go at some point.
Finally, we settle on early November. Slightly out-of-season for the Cape, but not outright Winter yet. We call down to see if we can just perform a swap and damnit-all, don't they have some kind of full-up retreat going on that weekend. Doesn't show up on the website, but they can't help us. So back to square one where we start playing with the dates.
At this point we're close to calling it off, but I relent on several dates I had locked (all for BrikWar/NELUG stuff). I mean, we need this trip much more than I need to go to the PARV game. I even give up the Halloween game. Not my first choice, but I will if I have to and I'm sure OCD-boy will understand, even if had to go to his secret place and weep openly.
In the end, I dodged the bullet.
We settled on a weekend in late September that nicely fits into my Lego-world, so I don't have to cancel anything and break any hearts. It's earlier than we wanted, but at least it's still in season.

I'm sure Jonathan would have survived.
Or did you mean Gregger?
No he meant YOU, mr always-anonymous.
Anyway, you would have to give up Lego for your girl. Because if you choose Lego over sex you become such a huge geek that you create a geek black hole that sucks in all geeks and from which they can never escape.

You're just saying that to try and get in his girl's pants.
