Top ten things not to say on your Anniversary
Why Simon is no longer married:
10. I stopped caring about anniversaries when you stopped caring about cooking.

9. Today is our what?

8. Okay, let's celebrate, but do we have to celebrate together?

7. I thought we only celebrated important events?

6. You can celebrate anniversaries with your next husband.

5. You don't like what I pick out, so I thought why bother.

4. I got you a present worth a dollar for every time you were nice to me this year. Here's a $5 gift certificate for McDonald's.

3. If you want me to pretend like I care about our anniversary, I will.

2. You want to go out to dinner? Okay, okay, I'll take you to Pizza Hut if it'll shut ya up.

1. I thought you only had to celebrate anniversaries while you were still in love.

I have "great" news for you
Blair said to Jim when he returned from work, "I have great news for you. Pretty soon, we're going to be three in this house instead of two."

Jim ran to him with a smile on his face and delight in his eyes.

He was glowing of happiness and kissing Blair when he said, "I'm glad that you feel this way since tomorrow morning, Naomi moves in with us."
