Will Smith, Decapitation, and a Personal Ethics Dilemma. Or, The 5 Year Wedding Anniversary post.

Our family went to Alabama this past weekend, but I am the only one that came back to Georgia. I will miss everyone, but am looking forward to many pizza roll dinners and having the house to myself for a week. When I got home on Sunday night, I put on pair of socks and took off my pants and attempted the Risky Business slide across the living room floor. Unfortunately we have carpet so I ended up just toppling over.

Saturday, LB and I went to Huntsville, AL to celebrate our 5yr anniversary. If you want to send us anything, I believe 5 years is known as the Xbox 360 Anniversary. Our actual anniversary isn’t for another couple weeks but this was our only chance to hang out Big Willie Style, just the two of us. Except more of a husband/wife type of hanging out and less father/son.

It wasn’t the biggest of blowouts for an anniversary, basically we walked around an outdoor mall for half a day. But it was nice being together. Nothing very exciting happened, except when we were in Gap I did keep thinking headless mannequins were real people which is weird because they didn’t have heads. I would accidentally bump into one then apologize, but they didn’t say anything back because they were headless. Don’t feel too sorry for them though, they all seemed to be in pretty good shape and were dressed nicely.

Then while LB looked around in this one shop that had absolutely nothing a guy would be interested in, I went into the Apple store. I didn’t really understand anything I was looking at. That was fun.

Next we went into another store that had slightly less stuff a guy would be interested in, so I entertained myself by pretending to work in the fitting room area. However, my plan failed when the dressing room doors were locked and I didn’t have a key. That is probably for the best because not until I typed this out did I realize how creepy that sounds.

Finally, it was dinner time and we went to some fancy Mexican restaurant. For the record, I am fundamentally against expensive Mexican restaurants. While I do love Mexican food, I believe expensive Mexican food is one of the great evils of our society, along with the fashion industry and that most recent Superman movie where Superman cried.

Despite my irreverence for expensive Mexican food, I took LB there because I know she loves that restaurant. I can be quite chivalrous at times. I have to admit it was delicious, but it did end up costing about 17 trips to Taco Bell and a small set back in my moral philosophies.

At the end of the day, it was a fun being kidless for a few hours and getting to spend some alone time with just LB and headless mannequins. Happy anniversary, LB. This is for you:
