Two Years, Already?April 2, 2008
That's teh bunnie Rabbitch Herself In Person there on the left, and Lovely Mandy on the right at our wedding in Vancouver. Ahhh. That was good.
We spent the last few days in San Simeon, celebrating our second anniversary. I know, can you believe it? We can't. No, really, we can't. A great two years. Here's to many more! Pictures of Hearst Castle to follow when I get them off the camera.
We had a wonderful mid-week celebration. And I have a co-worker working for me tomorrow, so I have another day off tomorrow, a day that I might well squander on frivolous pastimes. Like laundry. Grocery shopping. I might write a bit, but given the fact that I've completed the novel's fourth and final (for now) rewrite, and I've sent my query off for agent review, I'm going to be happy to do nothing at all. (And whee! So happy!) I might go to bed soon, even though it's only 9:15pm. Reading in bed until the book drops out of my hand: one of my favorite things in life.
This morning:
The view from our dog-friendly beachside hotel (Best Western Cavalier, San Simeon). What a cute black dog!
Harriet has something to TELL YOU!
It is that Miss Idaho gets all the fun with Lala:
Clara, our border collie, was boarded with her phenomenal dog-walkers, and we get her back tomorrow. I'm sure she'll come back with her learner's permit or something. Thank god. I'm going to send her to the store for more beer.
E.T.A. - I was just browsing the blog for that wedding picture, and I went to April 2007, instead of April 2006. I am ASTONISHED that we have had the kittens for a year this month. That is ridiculous. And it was a year that I told you Digit was gone (psych!). I yelled at Lala (who is playing Super Mario on the Wii), "Did you know it's been a year since we got the kittens?!?"
She said, "That explains why they're so big!"
Happy Anniversary! And no, I can't believe it has been 2 years! But I have loved reading about your deliciously happy marriage every chance I get. Big smooches to the both of you! And the fur-kids.

My god, she's brilliant.
(It's also because you keep feeding them.)
Happy anniversary, babies. I think that's the last time I wore a skirt. It's 'cause you're special.
I think it's time for you to come back to visit, don'cha know?

Aw. You guys are so cute it oughta be illegal. Wait a minute. It is, by golly! Is that why? Good for you: for being married two years, for the beachside celebration, and for taking an extra day off to do the really relaxing things like laundry and grocery shopping.

Super Mario Galaxy is amay-zing! I call it SPARKLES because of the little star bits. Sometimes it's easy to get sidetracked from a level's mission because I'm obsessively collecting SPARKLES. Must. Collect. SPARKLESSSS.
Congrats on 2 years! Dang, I'm gonna get all misty.

Happiest anniversary, sweetie!
Coincidentally, I just mentioned your wedding stole when we were recording our next episode (pardon the past/future tense thing).
Thanks for being a model of love and togetherness!

Happy Aniversery! Your 'vacation' looks heavenly it is so nice you were able to take the dogs with you.
When you mentioned Lala playing with the Wii it reminded me of this Http://www.thinkgeek.com/stuff/41/superpiipii.html?cpg=70H
Aren't the Japanese scary?

I can't believe it either and I've never met you - just follow along happily through the blog. And Digit the un-dead - can enough ever be said about the happiness of him being back? Reading your blog makes me happy!

Wow, time flies! Happy anniversary! I think this means you're due for another Canadian trip. Have you heard of a little city called Montreal?

I love the pic of sunbathing Miss Idaho.That's a great picture of the two of them and they look color coordinated. A sweet moment. :)

Aw, what an amazing two years! Here's to many more (perhaps a little less dramatic in the critter department, though--I'm not sure your readers can stand it).

Happy anniversary! I had not remembered that Rabbitch was there. Too cool.
I just realized yesterday that part of our "beach vacation" plans this summer were for us to go up to Vancouver BC for a bit and meet up with Janice! Whee!
