Isn't It a Shame?

First off, a big thanks to the peeps - Ali hand delivered a very nice, framed full size shot of one of my fav pictures from Merivale-era! Ali...was thinking afterwards, how did you get this done? This HAS to be from oldschool film? (Wasn't someone doing like darkroom development)

I'm biking to work again! Started this week : ) I like it much much more than taking the TTC(however my keister's sooore from the first 2 days of biking). Laura got me some new bike gloves for my birthday!

Laura and I went to the Bay last night to do our first ever wedding gift registry.
i) We had an appointment for 6:30, and had to wait til after 7:15 for someone to actually see us.

ii) They yabbered for almost 30 minutes. "How many wedding showers are you having?" "None" "But what about engagement parties?" "None". "Oh but dear, MOST people have ATLEAST one!" "Yah, that's not really our style" "Well, if you DO change your mind..."

iii) We FINALLY got our hands on the little zapper scanner thing...and in an hour and a half managed to find......2 things in the store that we liked. And honestly, it wasn't me being a downer on the parade. I think we just already have a lot of stuff - plates, wine glasses, cutlery, pots, pans, knives, etc. (Alison - you've got that Jamie Oliver flavour shaker thing on your list...I spent like 5 minutes looking at it last night trying to figure out what the heck it was slash how it works...what IS it??)

We're going to Home Outfitters on Monday so hopefully will have a bit more success there, but I'm leaning more and more to just asking for Kiva gift certificates so we can have fun and make a bit of a difference by loaning out the money until we actually buy a house and have space/need for more stuff...

Should be a gorgeous day and really nice weekend!!
