A Little Epiphany - (and a newbie delurking)

[Dia]

Rollercoaster...

Good news: We will be having a family dinner on our anniversary.

Bad news: I am paying for it.

Good news: Got my 1st paycheck, offered to take family to dinner on H's choice of nights.

Bad news: H picked Friday, our anniversary, with no apparent recognition/realization that it is our anniversary.

Good news: Since I'm paying, I will pick the restaurant.

Neutral news: H may well be oblivious about the anniv. esp. since we think of it as "Labor Day" and not "the 4th".

Bad news: means that gift cert. for the nice restaurant *isn't* being held in reserve for me.

Good news: well, this is about what I expected, and at least now I know.
