Let me count the ways....
Sam and I (yes, Sam. I'm sick of just typing S and I don't think either one of us is very anonymous on the web anymore) will be celebrating our fifth anniversary in less than a month, and I've been trying to think of something I can do for him, besides giving him a wad of cash that'll go towards his new computer. This is the first time we've really done gifts; we've gone out for a couple special dinners, but most years our anniversary has just been noted and we've moved on. (It doesn't help the anniversary that my birthday is a scant six days later, as it's kind of a one-two punch on the spending money.) But I happen to think that five is a really special anniversary, and something that we should recognize and celebrate. Me handing Sam cash? Not very special and romantic.
So I decided that I'm really going to count the ways. Sort of. Every few days, or whenever I get the inspiration, I'm going to post a list of five things. Not five things out of the same category, mind you, but a new list with five items every day. Some are going to be really silly lists, and some will be kind of sappy and serious. Some might be annotated, and some might just be lists. It will totally depend on the the circumstances surrounding the moment I'm writing the post, and the character of the list.
I love words. And I can't think of a way to better express to him how much I love him than to throw around words on this blog. It is, somehow, from the very depth of me that I'll be writing these words, no matter how frivolous they seem. And he has become a part of the very depth of me, and he should know it. This is my quirky way.
