2 sleepy people

Yesterday I awoke to a gift from my husband, a dozen red roses and a sweet card in which he explained just how much he loves being married to me. Mornings don't really start any better than that.

We went our separate ways for work and celebrated our anniversary with dinner out (Olive Garden, one of my favorite restaurants) and dessert at Starbucks.  We both enjoyed a Pumpkin Spice Latte, something that we make a point to treat ourselves to each Fall. Actually, I think Chris cheated earlier this season (probably the first day they offered this latte) and got one after one of his first days of subbing. I don't blame him. It's a nice way to unwind. I wish we could afford to splurge on things like this more frequently, but I'll settle for at least once a year. That's probably healthier, but honestly, it's amazing. It's Fall in a cup.

Anyway, as the evening ended I think we both realized that we were each fighting sleep out of excitement (or possibly caffeine overdose) as people sometimes do on holidays and special occasions. I am not sure who started humming the song that we danced to at our wedding first, but the other joined in momentarily. Two Sleepy People.  It was humorously fitting.

Lyrics to - Two Sleepy People
(Frank Loesser, Hoagy Carmichael)

Here we are, out of cigarettes
Holding hands and yawning
Look how late it gets.
Two Sleepy People
By dawn's early light,
And too much in love
To say, "Good night."
Here we are, in the cozy chair
Pickin' on a wishbone
From the Frigidaire,
Two Sleepy People
With nothing to say,
And too much in love to break away.
Do you remember
The nights we used to linger in the hall?
Your father didn't like me at all.
Do you remember
The reason why we married in the fall?
To rent this little nest
And get a bit of rest, well.
Here we are
Just about the same
Foggy little fella,
Drowsy little dame.
Two Sleepy People
With nothing to say
And too much in love to break away.
Two Sleepy People
By dawn's early light,
And too much in love
To say, "Good night."
Two Sleepy People
With nothing to say
And too much in love to break away.
Do you remember
The nights we used to linger in the hall?
Your father didn't like me at all.
Do you remember
The reasons why we married in the fall?
To rent this little nest
And get a bit of rest, well.
Here we are
Just about the same
Foggy little fella,
Drowsy little dame.
Two Sleepy People
By dawn's early light,
And too much in love
To say, "Good night."
