Happy Anniversary to me!

[pyesetz]

Yesterday was the 13th anniversary of my marriage.  Among other gifts, Wifey gave me:

1. A 12" Eeyore plushie.
2. A book Furry Logic with cute animal pictures and sayings.
3. An admission that LJ user stuffedwithfluf is actually her sock puppet.  Better read this fast, folks!  This may become a friends-only post after a rolling pin and some dishes go flying past my computer...

It's amazing the things you still don't notice after knowing a person for half your life!  I mean really, Wifey is a Mama Bear?!?  This is a woman who sometimes meows but never growls or roars except with words--and it seems she's been hiding her preference for Barry Manilow for 20 years because she knows I like Billy Joel.

When I first showed Wifey my Furry homepage, her response could be paraphrased as "A Dog?!?  But you act nothing like our new puppy!  I married a hyper feline/melancholy donkey--where did this dog come from?"  Maybe that's why our marriage is so *normal*; our crazinesses don't mesh.

Some choice quotes from the Furry Logic book:

• [Beaver] I would be unstoppable, if I could just get started.
• [Penguin] Always remember that you are unique, just like everybody else.
• [Lion] All power corrupts; absolute power is kinda neat.
• [Penguin] The quickest way for a parent to get a child's attention is to sit down and look comfortable.

I brought the plushie into the office and nestled the book in its paws.  If a program isn't going well, I can always cuddle my Eeyore and think of Wifey Wuv.  *Melts into a stereotypical furry puddle.*

Hey! I haven't actually thrown anything at you in a really long time! And if you ever do drive me to violence I intend to do it right. Why use a wimpy little rolling pin when we have that big cast iron skillet?

"It's amazing the things you still don't notice after knowing a person for half your life!"

I've been saying that to myself a lot lately. Furry? What is this Furry of which he speaks?

"This is a woman who sometimes meows"

That's a hold over from my single days when the only people I had to talk to after a long day at work were cat #1 and cat #2. If your roommates meow, you learn to meow back!

"and it seems she's been hiding her preference for Barry Manilow for 20 years because she knows I like Billy Joel."

Oh, no, no, no! I DO like Billy, but that was just too obvious to put out there as an interest. Are you familiar with Barry Manilow's "Weekend in New England" It ran through my head a lot during our courtship ("I feel the change comin', I feel the wind blow. I feel brave and daring!, I feel my blood flow. Oh with you I could bring out all the love that I have. With you there's a heaven, so earth ain't so bad")

"If a program isn't going well, I can always cuddle my Eeyore and think of Wifey Wuv. *Melts into a stereotypical furry puddle.*"

Awwww! I guess the cast iron skillet will be staying in the cupboard for awhile.

El Kabong!

Now we have kid #1 ("Rroarr!") and kid #2 ("I'm a monkey, feed me a banana!") and «kid» #3 ("Bow wow! Arf! Arf! Arf!").

But of course!  As you may recall, I made a tape about 25 years ago that had that song on it, along with Safam's Leaving Mother Russia.  Leaving New England was great for my allergies, but I'm starting to think that we've been living in the Mid-Atlantic region too long now.  Time to flee the sniffles again!

Which one?  Courtship #1, #2, or #3?

I thought of that song several times yesterday.


"I feel the change comin', I feel the wind blow... earth ain't so bad"

Careful!  The sappiness level of this post is already red-lining!

Latkes for Hanukkah?
