Ok, I'm not a "super lady"...that was a Simpsons quote. If you haven't seen their 10th wedding anniversary episode, you should do that right away. After you finish reading this, of course.
Yesterday marked 10 years since the day Adrian and I married. So much has changed since then, but we still love each other still want to be married (to each other, haha) so I guess our first decade together is worth celebrating.
Adrian took the boys to school and woke me by sticking a dozen roses in my face. I was bleary from sleep and grabbed them by the thorns. These roses had the sharpest thorns I've ever touched. My finger still hurts. But they are beautiful. I'm a lucky girl. He also stuffed me full of my favorite chocolate and gave me an orchid lei as is customary in this part of the world, haha.
Our day was pretty boring. The kids were in school. Isabella is obsessed with me and wanted to be my Siamese twin all day. I guess that's not the appropriate term. Conjoined twin. She wanted to crawl back inside. Or be sewn to me or something. I played online as much as I could with my fire hazard laptop cord ("Is it supposed to make crackling sounds?" "NOOOO! It's shooting sparks! Unplug it! Unplug it!") and Adrian was exercising his fingers with Call of Duty 4 (he had to show his ID to buy it...haha...wouldn't want him being exposed to violence and war themes) while catching up on laundry (good husband!). Orian had Cub Scouts and the day seemed pretty non-eventful.
Adrian decided we needed to do *something* for our anniversary, so we all got dressed and had dinner at Outback. You know, the place that serves the food that people like Maso and Toblerone eat every day. You guys eat fried onions and steak at every meal, right? Haha.
It turned out to be a really fabulous evening. I started out with the Wallaby Darned drink (much later I realized it was a pun, d'oh!). It was champagne, vodka, and peach schnapps, with some sort of peach frozen stuff. It was yummy. Especially with the extra shot added.
What's a Wallaby? I'm going to google that after I post this.
I ordered the most expensive thing on the menu. I felt the need to set a precedent for high maintenance for the next 10 years. Haha. I had a wonderful salad with wasabi vinaigrette dressing (and we had an overcooked Blooming Onion...or is it an Awesome Blossom? Whichever one Outback serves). Are you enjoying reading in detail what I ate for supper? That's not the least bit boring, is it? Oh, I had another Wallaby Darned. My dinner was a rare 7 oz filet mignon and 2 huge crab legs. The steak was good but the crab legs were unbelievably delicious. I mentioned that to Adrian about 7 times. I also had sauteed mushrooms, as I am often known to do. Everyone else ate stuff. I don't know what. I was too busy with my crab legs and Wallaby Darned. Hehe.
We had a lot of laughs and conversation and I was really glad we brought the kids, even if the 10th anniversary is supposed to be an intimate, elegant thing (sorry, Simpsons again). The boys got huge sundaes, which is apparently something Aussies like to eat for dessert.
The boys were wearing their Christmas card shirts and Isabella was fashionable as usual, so we kept getting asked if we had just come from getting pictures taken. Next time I'm going in flip flops and sweatpants.
