I have the most romantic husband I could have ever wanted. At midnight we gave each other our anniversary gifts. My main gift to John is a set of brushed steel dice. http://www.rpgshop.com/product_info.php?products_id=36638& I made him another dice bag to go with it, as the one I made for the wedding is now too small to fit all of his dice. I also got him a Pac Man game for his Nintendo Advanced. I thought I did really well in the “meaningful gifts” department until he showed me what he got me. I once told John about a favorite movie I had when I was a child. The Last Unicorn. He found it on the net and ordered it from Amazon. I was speechless. I had no idea what to say! I couldn’t even say I love you or thank-you.
I went to give blood on Wednesday (as I'm sure you have all already read on John's blog). Everything would have been fine except for the soup that I eat after. In the middle of the blood services building they have a concession that serves cookies, juice and soup for those who just donated. Apparently the nurses have been trying to get soup taken off the menu because it will make a donor faint every time. Something about the blood rushing to the stomach to digest it. Anyway, because I was feeling bad, John went and canceled the rest of our anniversary celebrations. But we carried on the next day. On the way home from the blood clinic, we stopped at Superstore where we got the Back to the Future trilogy and a portable DVD player. (The player came in handy yesterday while I was waiting to see a Dr. at a walk in clinic.)
We went to “The Big Mall” on Thursday and designed the tattoos we’ve been wanting for a very long time. I also bought him a really nice set of Sushi dishes and a matching set of dragon chop sticks. We eat at this really nice place, Edo Japan. I think there’s one in Metrotown. They had this really nice steak dish that made our mouths water for a few hours after. I’m planning on getting the recipe so I can have all our friends over and we can use our new dishes! After food we got the tattoos done. Mine says “Dragon Wife” and John’s says “Tiger husband”. It hurt, lots. Mine still feels like a bad sun burn.
