20th anniversary week continues!

okay...so yesterday was our "official" anniversary day.
Our picnic has been put off until this evening, and it will be in front of the TV catching up on Burn Notice.
We had a bit of a situation to deal with last night. Bjorn crashed on his bike commuting home from work.
This meant I had to assist with hosing him down with Bactine and applying some bandages. We only had energy for some
Mexican take out after that (and watching some season 2 of True Blood).

Woohoo! who says we don't know how to celebrate?

In homage to the Discovery Channel....

August 1 brings us Shark Week on the Discovery Channel. My husband and I FINALLY caved in and got cable (for the reception - those digital TV antennas and close proximity to MSP airport don't mix) a few months ago. Hence, it will be our first Shark Week as a couple.

But we've been married 20 years. This week. So we decided that we needed to celebrate our 20th wedding anniversary with a week long string of events (some big, some small, some not really events at all...but work with us, we've never done this before).

So we're celebrating 20th Wedding Anniversary Week (restraining order free since 1990!)

Sunday: Como Zoo and brunch

We'll see what else happens this week!

PS - My niece will be moving close to the HQ of the Discovery Channel in MD (in honor of shark week?)

I've simply GOT to start blogging more!

Would be a pity to let this space go to waste.
