~Registering~

So with the aid of a very good and patient friend I braved the strange new world of Babies R' Us. Without her knowledge of all things pertaining to baby, I think the closing staff would have found me huddled in a corner holding onto a new found blankie muttering things like "pack n play" and "strollers" over and over again in complete and utter delirium. As it was I saved from this fate by said good and patient friend and ended the quest with what I thought to be a mild success and a belly full of Red Robin guacamole bacon cheeseburger with a chocolate malt chaser.

I say "mild success" due to the fact that I was having OCD issues with matching sets and having a mental blockage about how in the world can these be the only colors/patterns I can choose from? So after selecting what I thought to be the best representation of said items (so I could remember what 'system' I wanted), and after the food hangover had passed, I sat down at my trusty computer and logged in to one of the best kept secrets (I think) on the planet: http://www.myregistry.com, which I learned about in my prenatal yoga class (which I have to give props to here because I love it so so much: http://www.lotusyogaspace.com/). I heart this site. In a nutshell, you can shop any online (or offline) store in the world and add whatever you see to your registry. This allows you to get register for whatever you want where ever you want, and also allows you to shop around for the best prices on each item. It is fabulous.

So, I had the Babies R' Us registry in one tab (my reference point), the My Registry in a second tab and then a product review guide in a third tab. Not to mention all the other tabs I opened up here and there for comparison price shopping. Happily, after I had finished I was able to add exactly what I wanted and not have to settle for patterns or colors I just didn't find all that appealing. Needless to say when I was done selecting, deleting, and reading, I had a raging headache and was pining for a nice glass (or bottle) of wine, which of course I was not able to indulge in.

On the whole though, I think I might actually be finished, which is a good thing because it is one less thing I need to get done but on the bad side it will give me oodles of time to second guess myself and wonder about this and that as the shower invitations will not go out for at least a month now.
