.25 year Anniversary

“The shoe fits better on the other foot.”

On Sunday, it was our 1/4 year Wedding Anniversary. Doesn’t sound like very long does it? But feels like it’s been much longer. It’s strange but neither of us feels married, more like we’re just living together (we hadn’t previously).

I’m actually quite enjoying the domestication of it all. I quite enjoy the cooking, though trying to decide what to make really does my head in. Despite my shelves groaning under the weight of all our cookbooks, just deciding what to have for dinner on a Friday night can cause hours’ worth of paper cuts and hair loss.

This is hardly the intended use for it but I find The Cook’s Companion by Stephanie Alexander to be a great prop for our laptop. We were given it as a wedding gift and I swear I will get through it one day, but at the moment, the sheer volume of the thing sends shivers of fear running through me.

We also bought one for our best man (who loves the art of dessert making), and I believe he is slowly making his way through it. Last I heard he was up to Cheese. Mmmm cheese…

Cleaning is tolerable, and some days even fun – I’m considering it exercise. :) Yes, I know. It won’t last.

So 3 months and all is going well, and our house is almost ready (we’re building) and I can’t wait to get in there and fill it with stuff. Perhaps it’s an age thing but crockery and furnishings have suddenly become very sexy. Forget the clothes and the accessories, just give me that set of pretty tea cups any day.

And I’m already dreaming of the bookshelf we’ll be buying. *Shivers* Now that’s sexy.
