So tomorrow is Heather and My six year anniversary. Holy Crap I cant believe its been 6 years.

The most important thing  I have learned about Heather in six years concerning holidays and special dates:
Never attempt to send her flowers because she will always attempt to sabotage your plans.

Since I've known Heather I've tried sending her flowers to her work only to have her decide the day of that she will take that day off. So year after year I have to figure out what she is going to do before she does it.

This year our anniversary is a Saturday. She normally works Saturdays, but knowing that she will probably attempt to sabotage my gift of flowers.. I went and ordered flowers for me to PICK UP personally.

I'm picking up her FLOWERS TODAY. A DAY EARLY. I will give her the flowers tonight when she gets home from work. It will be surprising, which is great! And it also allows me to avoid her sabotageness.

Because sure enough last week she told me she took Saturday off to spend with me. So that means I would have no sneaky way of getting the flowers to her without her suspecting something.

And even more sabotageyness She decides last night that she DOES want to WORK for 3 hours on Saturday.

See how crazy she is with making decisions? Its annoying but its also why I love her. She keeps me on my toes.

But the best news is that since I'm giving her, her flowers today that I don't have to worry about any of her craziness ruining my gift of flowers.

I may have wrote about this before but there is a flower shop down the road from our house called ANGEL ROSES. Its run by a Japanese Man and his American Wife. They are very very nice.

Saturday when I went in to visit, I brought Phineas and the man immediately asked if my wife was Oriental. I sorta cringed and said yes my wife is Korean. We had a polite conversation about the flowers order and about Phin.

But here is a question to my asian and asian american friends.. do you like the term "Oriental?"

Heather and her sister Joy HATE the term Oriental because they say its how you describe a rug not a human. But the fact that this Japanese man said it made me wonder..  Anyway he is an older man and his english is limited (so maybe that's why he used the term "oriental") or maybe its an older term as well...  hmmm deep thoughts.

Our 5th Anniversary is this month. That's a big deal. Unfortunately we are beyond broke. So Heather and I decided that we will credit card a nice dinner and see a movie while our next door neighbor babysits Phin. Its not much for such a big day but I guess its all we need right now.

Honestly with Phin around, we are always too busy to do anything too relaxing anyway. The most down time we get is when one of us is watching Phin and the other gets an hour to chill. Heather will take a bath and I will watch Phin. If Heather watches Phin, I get an hour of video games.

I told Heather I'd make it up to her if we get a bonus check again this year.
