Sweetest Day Presents
Chrissy and I might be the last people on earth who celebrate Sweetest Day. Sweetest Day usually falls on the third week in October, but the exact date can be unpredictable. We never really know each year until we check the calendar. Oddly, we treat this day as being almost as important as Valentine’s Day (we joke that Chrissy left me once because I only gave her a card on our first Sweetest Day).
So each year, we try to come up with something thoughtful for each other on Sweetest Day (no gift cards here!). Nothing too extravagant, but we typically go over budget. Because Chrissy loves to take pictures of Aiden, I got her a pair of strobe flashbulbs with matching umbrella stands. She loved them, and can’t wait to put them to use for Aiden’s Fall photos.
Chrissy got me large frames for my Optimus Prime and Megatron posters. I’ve had these rolled up in the closet since 2000, since they were exclusive to the 1999 Botcon (I missed that one, but I ordered the posters online when I registered for Botcon 2000). I brought my Prime poster to Rhode Island with me to Botcon 2007 to have it signed by Peter Cullen, so I was very happy to finally have a nice frame for it.
