The registry experience..

You're first thought is registry already, right? I know, it is a bit early - but these darn stores rope you in with their "perks" of doing these things early. I guess it comes down to it doesn't really matter when we register - styles and things will change, but I'm sure my "style" isn't the most up to date anyways - and it's one less thing we have to do in the summer. 


So we headed to Guelph - 4:30pm appointment and plans for a quick dinner and then home. Nobody told me how long this would take - at 7:30pm we said "enough it enough!" and we were done and so hungry!! 


Perhaps it's my timeless (and time wasting) browsing and Neil's extreme patience that hindered the three hour time span! It was a lot of fun, matching things, picking things out and thinking about our plans for decor. It was also a lot to think about. 


We registered at Home Outfitters tonight - our consultant was wonderful and really patient. I have heard some horror stories like the consultant tells you what to register for, or they practically register themselves for your wedding. She was out of our way, but always within sight if we needed help. The biggest annoyance was that the fricking scanner thing-a-ma-bob kept deciding not to work, and then we'd have to find someone to help us out. It must have happened like 5 times. 


I think we'll also register at Sears since a few things we were looking for, were not at Home Outfitters. So hopefully that experience will be the same, or better whenever we decide to do that one! You know where I`d love to register, Canadian Tire - LOVE THAT STORE! They totally should have a registry! Oh, and Prim Pickins` (hmm.. Jamie Lee do you read this??) 


Annnd Lynsey and I plan to go to aquafit tomorrow night! I have big plans for tomorrow, tons to do! Cleaning the house which I half started today, but then got interrupted by my most favourite little brother to help with his resume - so ofcourse, I dropped the broom to help him out. 
He`s looking at doing an apprenticeship with an electrician, so if any of you have a hook up in this area that you know of someone who is an electrician, or works for a well established business - referrals would be appreciated! 
Back on topic, tomorrow I`m also going to get my molds done for my night guard. Yes, I think I`m grinding my teeth at night - I never noticed it as a problem until last fall (would wake up in the morning with a sore jaw, and headaches) but the dentist tells me he definatley notices some grinding action and being that we have the benefits to cover it - I would like to prevent a problem before I end up having crappy molars at a young age! I already  am very bothered by the soreness in my jaw, and tension headaches some mornings - so I`d like to get this taken care of asap!  


One last thought, while registering tonight... the lady let me know, 234 days til the wedding! Woohoo!!

  1. Canadian tire does have a registry, they just got rid of the practical computer scanning system and went back to the 'you write everything down on paper' method lol.

  3. Oh my gosh, I wish I had known that! Ryan and I totally wanted to register at CT too! Oh well. We registered at Home Outfitters too, and it took forever! They were closing the store around us! it was exhausting.
