Random Thoughts...

-I have a HUGE HUGE beef will Dillard's online Wedding Registry. (yes - I just heard the gasp you took... NO, it's not for me, thank you very much!) Why, you ask, do I abhor Dillard's online registry? Here's my current predicament:

Half of the world (seriously -it really is half, I've done the research!) is getting married on my birthday. It's not like it isn't bad enough that everyone else except me will be having relations on MY birthday - but I have to GIVE gifts on my birthday. ::sigh:: The gift giving part isn't so bad because I get to shop! :-) We like that part!

BUT - I like to see what I'm purchasing. When I click on "14K Gold Salad Tongs encrusted with Rare African Diamonds $1,000,000" I like to see the tongs in question. Nope. Dillard's has a picture of a set of serving pieces. This is usually okay - but sometimes I don't know what exactly "Sugar W/LT" is!!! So - I click the picture and up pops a picture of a gravy boat, dinner plate, saucer, bowl and three other random serving pieces. Which stinking one is the "Sugar W/LT"??? That's what's in my price range!!! Is it the kidney shapey super-expensive looking bowl? Or the teeny-tiny shrimpy looking colander type thing? Dang you Dillards! Get with the program. Quit being some frumpy old lady store with NO world wide web presence.

*deep breath* Thanks - I feel better now. And if you're curious as to what registry brought this on - check it out and buy them presents! http://www.dillards.com/wishlist/WLMasterServlet?rType=01&intent=ITEMS&rNum=118346709&orderBy=C

Most of the eligible world is getting married on that day in December. I think that I've counted four weddings (at least) taking place that day.
