For years, my friends have likened my husband to Doug Heffernan on the series "The King of Queens." I never fully agreed with their assessment until today, my 15th wedding anniversary. . .
Season 1, Episode 5 aired today of all days. I couldn't believe the coincidence when Doug said "Happy Anniversary" to Carrie. How cute I thought and immediately called my husband to the living room to share this fluke of television scheduling. We smiled as Carrie kept making a fuss over the ring "that is also a watch" that Doug had given her with the best of intentions.
As you may or may not know, a gift of crystal is considered traditional on one's 15th anniversary. Anyone who knows me, however, is aware that I am much too practical for crystal items. Give me a set of pots or a Walmart gift card any day and I'm ecstatic. As my gift peeked out at me from the wrapping paper, I just sat there in total amazement. How did this happen? Where has my husband been all these years? Was it my fault? What could I have possibly done to convince this man that I would be happy with a Cheetah print Snuggie?
Nine seasons can't be wrong, however, Doug Heffernan is truly a lovable character. As for my husband, I can't wait to see what next season brings.
