Thursday Flakes: An Anniversary, Week one begins and Other Things


Last Thursday my wife and I celebrated our 9 year anniversary. I don’t know how she does it, or why for that matter. I would not have minded at all to take her to a fancy restaurant, but since we really didn’t know what to do with the kiddo, we did what we thought was fancy for us. We ordered Old Chicago pizza, drank a bottle of wine and watched Superstore. If you haven’t seen it, it’s a fantastic show. I work retail full time and I just laugh at how much of it I can genuinely relate to. More importantly, I can’t stress enough how much I love you honey.

Here are your Flakes, and of course your terrible joke for the week.
