Dressed up and drinking

On September 6, 2008, Brad and I got married.
Which means that this Sunday, September 6th, was our first wedding anniversary.

Yaaaay!

The first year of marriage has been lovely, and it has gone by fast. And in honor of our reaching this little milestone, I was absolutely planning on a blog post -- a cute little essay about the ups and downs of Brad and Kat: Year One, beginning with a revisit of the wedding, and ending with some sort of whimsical yet poignant observation about the nature of marital love.

Yeeeep, that's what I was going to do.... until around nine o'clock last night, when a brief but highly memorable incident involving some recalcitrant beets and a contaminated box of pasta and one glass of vino too many caused one half of our marital team to end the evening in the fetal position on the floor of our very hot, very smoky, very purple-stained kitchen. weeping.

Weeping and covered in beet juice.

(In the interest of preserving my dignity a bit of mystery, I won't be telling you which one of us that was.)

Anyway, all of this is to say that one of us is too exhausted from sobbing amongst the beets to update his or her blog in any meaningful way right now.

But I know I have to give you something, so here: This is a picture from our anniversary eve in which my husband looks handsome as all get-out and I look like I've been roofied.


You're welcome.

Keep that photo in case you need it for evidence someday.

I see a theme in our marriages...you look roofied in that picture, and I'm convinced that last week Wes roofied me. That is the only thing that can explain why I woke up in bed, at 2am, wearing my work clothes, jewelry, and contacts, with no recollection of the evening or how I got there.

OR I'm a two-beer lightweight who can't drink like she used to.

Aaaaand HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!

Good heavens, I've been reading Pink India Ink for just over a year then.

Whatever you are wearing in that photo is undeniably fabulous.

Maybe you look a tad roofied, but in a hot way.

Ummmm, what?! No, I'm sorry, a year has not gone by. I'm afraid you are mistaken. You may want to double check on the date of your wedding. Don't forget. You had a lot to drink.

And you do look a little comatose.
Did you get taken advantage of? *wink*!
