I never consider my self as a romantic person. Yes I love pink color. Yes I love flowers. Yes I love Richard Gere’s old move - Pretty Woman. But that’s it. I don’t think I have even a drip of romantic blood in my genes. If you expect me to remember every (suppose to be) memorable dates or occasions such as birthdays, anniversaries…forget it. I am just not really that kind of person. Never was, never is, never will be.

Today is our 7th wedding anniversary. Just on Sunday hubby and I had a long and serious discussion (for the 100th times) on how can we organize our finance more efficiently. In a middle of painfully thorough discussion about things that ‘it’s ok actually not to buy unless it’s sale season’ and the good old ‘wants vs. needs’ paradigme, hubby suddenly said, “Do you think I still should buy you anniversary gift?”. My mind went blank for a while in panic. Gift usually does not corelate with the previously mentioned theory. The practical side of me won and I heard my self saying, “Well as long as you think I need that thing and it is not expensive I think it’s ok”. Hubby laughed his head out.

But what I was panicking about actually was ‘Oh my gosh! How can I forget! I have nothing for him! Even worse, I have not even think about it, do the gift survey and even worse, I have not fish for things that he desired!’ I felt beaten and miserable. Anyhow, considering that the cost cutting budget discussion has just been finished, I was pretty sure that hubby has cancelled his idea to buy me gift.

So this morning, I found my self very surprise when hubby pulled out a small gift from under his table. He bought a small red nike bag for me to travel considering that I’ve been travelling quite frequent recently. Gosh I feel bad that I have nothing but a kiss. I went to the office feeling a bit guilty. And to make things worse, a huge pink roses arrived on my desk this morning with a very sweet note. Now I am doomed forever!

Therefore, I have decided that now it isn’t really the time to do the cost saving. During lunch time, I browsed around the mall next to my office to find something. Gosh, my mind completely blank. I can not think of anything! Fortunately I remember that hubby is planning to buy this. This choice, however, made my girlfriend laughed her head off. She said that my choice is really practical and completely unromantic. Well, if there’s such thing as romance disorder, that’s me. What can I say?

Happy 7th anniversary loved one…thank you for giving me everything I want and I need. Most of all, thank you for your unconditional love, your patience and your strength of going through a marriage with romanticly disabled person like me…
