Annibirthday 2015

OK, so, our annibirthday 2015, January, on a Monday. 

Austin asked me what I wanted. My car & house are both paid off (yea me!) and Austin was unwilling to kidnap Emun Elliott, so I was stumped. Then I remembered that the mandolin slicer had just died.

The following day, I went on the Internet and picked out the Oxo Good Grips mandolin slicer. I researched the details, compared prices. It was exactly what I wanted. So I contacted Austin with an update. 

Austin: I already bought you one. 

Me: Without consulting me?

Austin: Trust me, you'll like this one. 

Me, blubbering about the one I actually want and where he can buy it and the price, etc., et al.
Austin: You'll like this one.

Doing absolutely nothing to assure me that I will actually like the one he picked.

So last night, instead of waiting 'til Monday for the actual annibirthday, I gave Austin flowers (it's what he wanted) and he gave me my gift. The Oxo Good Grips mandolin slicer. The *&%%&# got lucky and bought the exact one I wanted without me telling him. Now that little smug ^&#% is proud of himself. I don't know how I'm going to live with him for the rest of my life.
