I love my wine.

It was fun, KJB!  It's a good work out too.  Well at least I use it as a half-assed excuse for a work out.

DramaGeek

no drinking here (yet).  I played hooky and stayed home.  I figured with all the extra hours I put in on our play I deserved it.  My boss knows and totally doesn't care.  I managed to sleep in, get a massage, and do some housework so I actually have clean clothes to wear to work this week.

Birdie1483

Sweet. I've stared at the Bed Bath and Beyond registries so many times I have a pretty good idea of what I want. I figured I can get a good portion of it knocked out online so it'll be easier to get FI to go into the store.

Another question, does it look gift grabby to have 3 registries? FI wants to do a Sears registry and I was considering doing Target or Macy's as well, but we can keep it to two if it looks bad.

I'm having a beer and just had Hungry Howie's delivered... trying to decide if I should go for the pizza or the Howie Bread first. What a choice.

kellyjellybelly

I definitely need to find more fun workout things.  Especially for my arms, they are in desperate need of help.

AK-- I've been good--almost done with my first year of law school. But so incredibly burnt out from it all.

Oh yeah, and as another AW for anyone who cares, I got a job for the summer! I'm pretty excited.

FutureMrsFezz

Mmm Hungry Howie's!  Most of the ones around here closed.

Birdie I think 3 is a good number.  I wouldn't go more than that.

barrelbabe004

Birdie- we had 3.  I don't think it's gift grabby.  Macy's had more of the expensive stuff like our china so there wasn't a whole lot of stuff on that one.

Birdie1483

Yay musical! What will you be doing?

akhensley81

Birdie, we just had the 1 registry but it was more for my own personal organization than anything. A few people told us we should register at a "more expensive" store too, but I figured if anyone wanted to spend more than the "more expensive" things we registered for at Target, they could probably figure something out on their own.

FutureMrsFezz

KJB-- It's definitely a good arm work out, if anything!

Congrats, Musical!

Birdie1483

Ok sweet. FI's really excited about the Sears registry. They don't do online shopping though, which sucks.

akhensley81

Musical- congrats on almost being done with year 1! And the new job!! If I hit the lottery and quit my job, I've seriously considered going to law school.

Fezz- H and I went the whole last 3 years without Hungry Howie's. I think we've ordered it four times now in the last month since we moved here. Haha!

I'm working for the same company that J & his dad both work for. His dad has been working there for about 30 years, so he was the one that secured me the job. It is a company that manufactures & supplies corporate awards, magnesium dies & braille signage. I'll be working in the finance department (I think--still clarifying that when I go in next week for a meeting), probably doing a lot of spreadsheet/computer related organization stuff. Since it's a 40hr paid job, I will be able to volunteer pro bono legal work to build my resume as well. :)

Birdie, I think 3 is fine, especially if they all have different things.  We had friends who registered at Target, Macy's and BB&B and they registered for all the same things.  It was weird to have two nearly identical registeries from three stores.  I assume the Sears registery will be tools and things?  I think that'd be awesome to have and wish we'd thought of it.

Ciaram22

I don't even know what a Hungry Howie's is.

FutureMrsFezz

Ugh we'd be ordering all the time too if we still had one close enough!  Such a bummer.

I've seen this too, and that was exactly what we wanted to avoid.

I'm glad I'm not alone in this.

Birdie1483

Yep the Sears registry will be mostly all tools. I got the idea oddly from my ex-boyfriend. It's the only registry FI is excited to do. I figure we'll go through BB&B and then if there are any left overs after that, we'll look in to Target or Macys. Right now I don't think we're going to do China.

It's only the best flavored-crust pizza you can get delivered for under $10! Haha.

FutureMrsFezz

Hungry Howie's = PIZZA

Ciaram22

We had a registry at Macy's and at Crate & Barrel. I didn't do Target because of all of the horror stories.

akhensley81

OK, I just opened the pizza box and actually clapped my hands. I think I need help.

dianemc10

You ladies are all so classy with your wine. Makes me feel like a degenerate with my coors light (3rd one at that). 

Ciaram - how are you feeling? (Am I the 1,000,00,000,000,000 person to ask you that this week?)  I've been thinking about you this week! 

Birdie1483

Cuteness overload: http://www.ustream.tv/sfshiba

FutureMrsFezz

hahahah what's not to clap about?!

ArmyofUs

...flavored crust?

akhensley81

Fezz you guys need to get one soon. With their online ordering, you can get 2x or 3x the flavoring on the crust. Multi flavors per pizza if you wanted.

musicalsunlight

clapping is completely acceptable when opening pizza boxes.
