A Pause for November 11

In which I am grateful

On this Veteran's Day I ever-so-briefly hang up my Snark Hat to thank my mother, father, step-father, brother, grandfather, grandmother, and grand-uncles, just to mention a few relatives who who have served or are serving either in war or in the active military. I owe you more than I can ever say. Thank you.


In which I am smugly celebratory

As Fate would have it, today also marks my very own wedding anniversary, that one special day of the year when the Anonymous Husband and I can sit back and smile in self-congratulation and swap stories about how crazy our exes were* in manner of completely insufferable Smug Marrieds. *No, really.



It's also possible I'm being a sentimental sap and paging through wedding photos while enjoying a champagne onesie (complete with pink bendy straw, naturally, but in an actual wedding flute so as to keep it classy) and eagerly awaiting the arrival of the AH.

More tomorrow, dolls, as I have much to discuss about that High Priestess of Prep, Kate Spade, as well as a certain anti-prep arch-nemesis (and hyphen-queen, apparently) of mine and her new reality show. In the meantime, please feel free to add to my open Q&A session which I will leave open for a few days yet, lest I be forced to invent my own dialogue . . .

Happy Anniversary!

And as one who actually discussed crazy exes with AH, I can say Yes, they were quite crazy indeed.

Bless your grateful heart for stopping to honor those who have made so many sacrifices, and in some cases the ultimate sacrifice, for our freedom. I raise my sippy cup to you, my fashionable and patriot sister.

And Happy Anniversary, lovely bride.

oops, I meant, patriotic. I must have spiked the milk...

Bon anniversaire!
(Which really means "happy birthday" but it sounds fitting...)

Any special plans?
That is - aside from celebratory champagne swilling from pink bendy straw.

Happy Anniversary!! I am also very excited to have finally found someone I "know" who used WL at their wedding. We booked them pretty early on and I'm having regrets. Tell me you loved them...
