YES! She just went to bed.
Big day tomorrow, just laid the following out on the kitchen table, let me know what you guys think:
HAPPY 16’th Mrs. blue (not her real name). I am your anniversary SPIRIT. I am here to SATISFY you. If you want me to get you all wound up….I might be where you get HOT outside. If you want me to get you WET….You may find me where you go for a good ride. If you want me to make you squeal….I will be waiting by your back, BACK door baby. Please don’t look for me in the WRONG order, or you will have 7 years of bad marriage mojo. If you want to PLEASE the anniversary spirit, I’ll probably be on the couch.

Dude, you know I love and respect you and all ... but you so better have remembered to purchase a gift of fine jewelry and a large floral offering.
Just because the "years between the 5s" don't appear on the Anniversary gift charts does not mean you don't have to get her anything. I take it that Hallmark didn't write that card for you. The Chicago Public Library List of Anniversary Gifts says that the 16th is for "Silver Holloware". I have no freaking clue what silver holloware is. (until I googled it.) Congratulations to you and to Mrs. Blue!!

Thanks wolf but it's not as bad as you suspect. She is the practical type (gets more powers tools as gifts than I, and loves it).
Yours truly wrote the card, I did get her a real one too. You do realize it's a treasure hunt right? Did the big anniversary ring last year for 5 (we lived togethor for 10 years, I don't like being rushed). I am going to get SO lucky tomorrow. I love that chick.

Checked out the anniversary site for 6'th.
I think I will give her a "wood object" tomorrow after all, that'll be her 4'th gift ;-)

Congrats, Blue!
What kind of gifts do you think Slang and Wolf give each other? |

so, did we ever get to hear what the gifts were? or was the scavenger hunt the main point? did you give her the 8X10 glossy photo of me that she asked you for? ;-}

OK, thanks for the nice comments guys.
She didn't realize it was a treasure hunt either, I had to 'splain it after a few hours, geesh..she must think I'm a perv. We are into home & garden things, tools etc. She got me some garden stuff, a tree, tent thing, pruners. The WOUND thing was a auto hose reeler thing hidden in the burning barrel, close by the campfire pit. The WET thing was a watering can with her real card on the front seat of her car. The SQUEAL thing was a sort of lawn ornament Pig, damn thing weighed about 75-90 pounds (it was big...looks like wilbur) waiting in the backyard behind the gate to the field. I have a sort of tradition of buying the animal ornaments, leaving them in subtle places to scare the crap outta her. And we went out to eat at a new restaurant, and I got WAY lucky too, so I guess it turned out OK. Again, thanks for the sentiments, it sure is nice to be with her after all these years.
