I’ve been meaning to start posting every Wednesday, as a way to keep myself “in the blogging game,” as it were, but I’m entirely exhausted by 1) a cold that has moved into my lungs and 2) the fact that Tristan and I spent three hours working on our Wedding registry and are so indecisive (and the store is so poorly laid out), we’re still far from done. Why can’t I find flatware I love? Oh, why?
Anyway, here are my requests:
1) Dear department stores: please locate your household linens (towels, sheets, etc cetera) near natural light sources. I have no idea what the actual color of our bath towels is, and that bothers me.
2) Dear neighbors: it is 10:51. Please cease playing techno.

Maybe if you weren’t so demanding you’d be happier! I mean, really, 11 pm and you expect low noise levels from your neighbours? Alice, I’m surprised at how selfish you can be. *insert head-shaking and tutting noises*
Oh, and I’m so with you about good light in stores. No matter what kind of bulbs you use, they distort colours. If they have a good return policy, take them home to check the colours out in a spot that’s as similar to the kind of space you’re planning to use them as possible. It’s a schlepp, but it’s worth it.

Don’t register for stainless steel flatware. Take some of the cash gifts you’ll inevitably receive and buy a boxed set at Bed Bath and Beyond. It’s SOOOOOO much easier.
P.S. Love your blog! I just realized you keep one and have happily become a follower.
