Both are this month. We got married on the day after my birthday. It only took me three marriages to figure out a way to remember my anniversary.:

CB asked me tonight what I wanted. I asked her what the budget was (something only married folks would understand) and she told me $200. That rules out an acoustic, which is ok, because I've had my eyes on a few other toys.

Lately I've been gassing after two things, a strat (I'll admit it, CB's strat is sweet, and despite the fact that she likes her tele better, I am drawn to that guitar), and a mandolin (I've got a few John Denver songs down, and there's just something about the sound of a mando that really moves me).

So give me your thoughts, nominations and suggestions folks. Your input will be greatly appreciated, even if I don't end up following it.:
