The first time I cooked anything in the oven, it looked like a college dorm room playing Grateful Dead.
Ha! This is where the cognitive dissonance sets in, because that's when I would have freaked out and called someone.
I'm picturing her talking to him in the hotel room scene, with the carefully placed pillow, and she'd be having a perfectly rational conversation with him, possibly commenting on his physical development and any interesting structural deviations from the norm.
Apparently I am just a leetle too much like Temperance.
Once upon a time, silver anniversaries were what grand-parents had--or older parents. Legally, today is only Hubby's and my 24th anniversary, but we were living together with no plans for doing otherwise for a year beforehand (stupid Utah landlords who insist on a man and a woman being married). God, we were so damned young, and if I knew then what I know now, I'm not completely sure I'd have done it. But I did, and I have, and I've spent half my life with the man. I'm not counting on a golden anniversary, a couple of times the silver one could have been rendered unattainable. Here's to my beloved, who I don't think has remembered, but he might, and I refuse to be one of those sit-com women who have tantrums because he may have forgotten. I'm just glad to have him next to me in the night--even if he does hog the pillows.

send it out with Shir's fellow students?
Happy anniversary Connie! Congratulations to you both!
That's a lovely statement, there, Connie. Congrats on your silver-plate anniversary.
And, right there with you; we wouldn't have gotten married except for the whole part where the USG doesn't pay to send girlfriends overseas. (19 years last Wednesday).
Congrats on your silver, Connie and Hubby! For a person who supposedly doesn't care about marriage, I'm awfully sniffly right now.
That's wonderful, Connie, and a lovely tribute. Happy anniversary.
I am on FIYAH today with productivity, both work and personal. Woot!
Connie, you brought a tear to my eye. What a lovely commemoration.
Bless both your hearts and your union.
