Alles Gute zum Geburtstag

It's anniversary week in the Nosuch household. First the wedding, now the wife's birthday. The good news is having them occur so close to each other means it's unlikely I forget both. It also means only one period of frantic shopping to cover two of my essential spousal obligations. And, as time goes on, I can probably blur them into one celebration, making things even easier.

And even though I gave her a nice new iron for our anniversary, I think the ironing board will still be a surprise for her birthday. We will see. It took me a while to come up with a good "matching" gift set.

I hope she doesn't read this before she opens it. It took a shitload of wrapping paper to wrap the damn thing.
