If it's the last one, then it makes relationships sound like prositution with some kind of employee incentinve program.
Maybe I'm completely out to lunch on this but I just don't see the need to pat yourself on the back for spending a lot of time with someone.

Sounds like you're trying to rationalize yourself out of buying her something
.
For some reason women, not all mind you, put a lot of emphasis on being in a relationship for a long time. I don't understand it and I know that most guys don't either. But what I do know is that as guys we have to learn to prioritize when it comes to relationships.
The way I prioritize things in a relationship breaks down this way.
I like sex. Doing things that make women happy = Sex
Doing things that make women unhappy = NO SEX
If your anniversary falls on a Sunday then make plans to do something on Saturday night and explain your reasons behind it. But even then, if she's still hounding you about doing something on Sunday then do something on Sunday. Obviously there's a lot of compromising that needs to go both ways, and in your situation it sounds like things can easily be solved by a VCR or TVO.
Seriously man, what's more important? Watching some football or keeping your girlfriend happy? It's not like it's the Super Bowl yet either so there's still a lot of Sundays you can spend being drunk by noon.
