The Carpet Anniversary

Doug and I were married five years ago today.

We've decided to take it easy this year. No cards. No fancy dinner. Most notably, no gifts, since we just spent six bajillion dollars on our remodeling project. In light of that, we've decided to rewrite the list of traditional anniverary gifts:

First: paper
Second: cotton
Third: leather
Fourth: linen, silk
Fifth: wood, carpet

It also doesn't seem right to celebrate today, given New York's Court of Appeals disgraceful ruling yesterday upholding marriage discrimination.

What a shock and a disappointment.
