It's like a holiday for just you and me

I was in charge of the anniversary celebrations, which meant I could have all the fun that comes with surprises without any of the impatience of waiting to see what would happen.

Jared thinks my eagerness to discover what a surprise might be is a character flaw.

I think his calm is unnatural.

Thing #1

Tosca performed by the Boston Lyric Opera

Jared loves opera and likes Puccini second to Mozart - which I confirmed through some not-at-all-suspicious questions.

It was wonderful. The music was thrillingly beautiful.

Thing #2

A late night dinner of macaroni and cheese and butterscotch pudding.

Plus, extras for the rest of the week.

I think they both came out quite nicely, although, I think

I will tweak my pudding recipe a bit.

Thing #3

A mix cd for mushy moods.

Thing #4

This one's a secret.
