And then I bought him an aluminum bucket...

Friday is our 10th wedding anniversary. I could go on and on about how much has happened in 10 years and how things have changed but stayed the same and love grows and kids kick your ass, but lets get on to the important stuff. Like what are we getting each other for our anniversary. It's a biggie, after all.

Well, the powers that be, lame as they are, decided that the 10th anniversary gift should be tin. Tin, really? I mean, what am I supposed to get him? A can of soup? OK, moving on. The modern tradition for 10 years is aluminum...wait...C'MON!!!! I mean, who are these idiots? Tin and aluminum? Who were they- Alcoa stockholders?

Well, screw that. John and I are declaring a new tradition for 10 year anniversaries. Behold, the iPhone anniversary. That's right, we bought each other iPhones. And we will celebrate our anniversary by sitting close and staring adoringly into our iPhones while we download all the greatest applications. And send cutesy text messages to each other. Because THAT my friends is love.

Funyuns!

I surprised Jack today by going up to the school cafeteria to eat lunch with him. He was really excited to see me and even more excited to show me what he was eating...FUNYUNS! You know, those onion ring shaped chips that taste incredibly awesome and have no nutritional value whatsoever? He had bought them with his lunch account that I fund so he can buy milk. We have been packing his lunch every day at his request.

So when I saw him with FUNYUNS, I did a double take. Then I looked around and noticed 5 boys all around him, all holding FUNYUN bags. They were ALL scarfing them down. And not one of them, including Jack, had touched any other part of their lunch.

It suddenly dawned on me why Jack is bringing home a half eaten lunch the past few days.

FUNYUNS!
