Nicole and I signed up for our Gift Registry yesterday. We both went into the store pretty pumped up to do some "shopping", and after filling out some forms, the lady handed us Mr. Scanner and away we went. It was damn fun and frustrating at the same time. Fun because i'd go around to each item and scanning stuff like it was a game of laser tag (I'm sure Nicole thought i was a goof.). Frustrating, because, it's so freakin' hard to decide on what to get, as I already have a lot of stuff already (might not be best quality stuff though). So when I came across the Potato Masher - which I don't have - , i was all over it. So I scanned it in. Later that night, we checked the list online, and lo behold..it was there. But upon closer inspection, we discovered that '# desired' was 19. Our shock turned to laughter, when we imagined getting *19* potato mashers. Anyways, thanks to the wonders of online shopping, I corrected our mistake - must have been a little too trigger happy with that scanner.On a somewhat related note, if I'd ever want to sell stuff I don't want, I could always go to eBay. But of course, I'd be up front and honest. And here's an example of honesty to the extreme.

I found this a very difficult task. After living on my own for about a decade I've accumulated pretty much everything I need. Add that to the stuff that my wife to be is adding to the mix and I would say we have too much stuff. As for expensive formal dishes etc. I just can't see myself enjoying a $60 tumbler.

Fun with the potatoe masher!!!
Matt, I can totally relate to you... we're so not all over the $175 China place settings. I don't wanna imagine what I'd do if I broke one of the items.
