Dating Issues
Wednesday, November, 5, 2008
I’m having a date issue this week.
Hang with me.
Yesterday we had to punt with the daily muse that was sent out and I wrote up a lovely little Tuesday’s Promise muse. If you signed up to receive the daily muse, you probably also noticed that instead of saying Tuesday, November 4, 2008, I said Tuesday November 3, 2008 in the email.
Yes, it was me. And on election day no less. Though I’d like to note -- NO ONE caught it in the review before it was sent. Hey, if I’m going down, I’m going to take someone else with me!
Needless to say, we regret the error. Anyone who may have taken offense, please accept my sincere apology. We’ll work hard to make sure it doesn’t happen again.
That was the easy one. Now for the much bigger and substantially more damning error admission.
Monday was November 3, 2008. Monday evening around 11:45 p.m. my husband Dan walked past me furiously working on skirt and whispered in my ear, “happy anniversary dear.”
I can hear you all collectively groaning right now. Trust me, I’m groaning as I type.
Quickly doing the math (something that has never been my forte) I weakly said, “it’s been a great six years.” To which he replied, “seven.” I won’t even go into the fact that I argued with him over this point until he clued me in that we were living in the year of our lord two thousand eight... not 2007.
Did I mention I’m really bad with dates this week?
The good news: He had forgotten it was our anniversary until about 11:43 p.m. thus making me feel a little less guilty. The bad news: I need to make use of a calendar and calculator before typing or speaking ever again.
For the record, today is Wednesday, November 5, 2008. It’s the day after an amazing election which is held every four years on November 4th. I’ve been married to the most fantastic man for exactly 7 years, 1 day and 20 some odd hours depending on when you read this.
Now if someone would just clue me in as to what day Thanksgiving falls on this year, I think I might be set through the New Year.

Let me introduce you to my best friend: The Franklin Covey Planner (www.franklincovey.com). It's big and in charge, it keeps me in line and on time, it takes some getting used to but the time management class I took when I first started using the planner is one of the best classes I have ever taken-- and I'm about to graduate with something like 150 college credit hours, so I feel like an expert in the "best class ever" category.
The few minutes I spend each day working in my planner save me years of wasted time. I believe they also have an electric version, though I love my paper. (poor trees.)
Hopefully you and your husband will do something fun to celebrate this weekend and, for what it's worth, I'm sure your mix up will take the anniversary pressure right out of your marriage. Who needs it anyway, right? Everyday is a good day when you're with the one you love.
P.S. Didn't notice the muse date snafu; that's a worry you can drop off a bridge. :)

And here's a great tip- set the reminders for a week ahead of time- then you have a head start to get gifts, cards, make reservations, whatever it takes to make it special. I now have mine synched with Google calendar too- everything all in one place AND available online. Woo hoo!
Oh, and, happy anniversary! ;)
