Saturday Part Deux - Some Enchanted Evening.....

After our trip to IKEA we were set to relax and take a little nap before going off to our first anniversary dinner at the fancy M on the Bund. We set our alarm to give us an hour plus before we had to leave. We got up at 5pm and was about to take a shower and I remembered I never bought a hair dryer (You all know my hair issues). Will suggested I just get dressed up and go with wet hair (hello? I know he thinks I’m beautiful no matter what I look like, but this is 1st anniversary dinner!!!). I start to cry. Although he was still tired, my wonderful husband offered to make a “quick” trip to the store to pick up a hair dryer. Bless you my knight in shining armor (geez I’m such a pain in the ass).

I jump in the shower, get dressed, get my make-up on, iron his pants and shirt and now it 6:05pm…my hair is starting to frizz. I text him–Where R U? 5 minutes later he comes through the door with the hair dryer and looking like shit.I knew he was tired (heck, I was still tired).I make the offer to cancel dinner since he is tired(I bluffed thinking he wouldn’t actually choose this option).He agrees to cancel dinner, I start weeping (again)–I know he’s tired but boohoo it’s our fancy dinner. I feel really bad because he feels bad but of course I still pout and go to the bathroom and passive aggressively scrub my makeup off (I’m such a ….fill in the blank).

From the bathroom I hear gagging and come running in to find Will projectile vomiting his lunch into our stock pot by the bedside. Okay now I feel *really* bad because he *really* is sick (I start crying). I take him to the bathroom where he proceeds to empty the contents of his stomach (curry tuna fish). I bring in ginger ale, melba toast, wipe his forehead and lit a few candles to bring this some enchanted evening to a memorable close. I love this man, I love him I love him I love him. Damn Chinese cooking. I love him and bless him for loving me.
