Macy's Marathon

Joy of Engagement #102.

Hannah and I spent thirty minutes last night debating over kitchen utensils.  Given the length and breadth of our deliberations, you would think that we were about to choose a spatula that would outlast us into eternity.  In the end, I agreed that Hannah's choice was the best practical decision, but when her back was turned I pointed my laser gun at the shiny silver burger flipper with the wave design and whispered, "I love you."

Fortunately there were other things that we could both agree upon without too much thought: no, we don't like Mickey Mouse on our fine china.  Yeah, Martha Stewart may be evil incarnate, but have you seen these sheets?  We exclaimed over some delicate yellow bedsheets with a nice muted pattern, what I imagine Martha must gather about herself as she swings fitfully from her unholy belfry at daybreak. 

In fact, much of Martha's collection was just too cute to pass up.  This phrase, coupled with my girlish "oooh!" at the sight of a set of brushed metal cutlery, doesn't bode well for my ability to father children. 

I hope Hannah's happy with that casserole dish.

It sounds like you had an enjoyable time registering for gifts! Hopefully the rest of the wedding plans will go more smoothly.

Haha! This cracks me up. It is all too familiar my brother. All too familiar.
