Registries

So Pip and I did a couple of registries... one at William Ashleys for dishes, cutlery, teapots, etc. and one at the Bay for sheets and pots and pans and things.

I kinda thought it would be fun to do this... like shopping with other peoples' money, but it was kinda icky and un-fun. Icky because we're basically telling people to buy us stuff, and un-fun because it's hard to get excited about towels (cream or white?) and pots and pans, especially when the salespeople were completely NUTS.

I kept thinking "I wish I could just register at IKEA" since they have cuter and more useful stuff and it's so very reasonable.  But they don't do registries.  For instance, I'd love to get a white slipcover for our currently red corduroy couch.  But whateves... it's not about that, right?
