Leave it to CB

...to completely shift my excitement level in regards to registering! I was flipping through the Crate & Barrel Best Buys catalog this morning and found myself not only earmarking pages, but actually getting off my butt to go grab a Sharpie to be sure the favorites were starred. I love CB, who doesn't, but it's an eye candy adventure for me--not someplace I actually shop. But I'm all over this "Best Buys" catalog! They highlighted some super cute furniture for prices I would actually pay...SHOCKER!

And leave it to me to be most excited about a Bamboo Dish Rack with Utensil Holder, rather than a new couch. We (and by "we" I mean "Raf") handwash our dishes 99% of the time. We have a wooden rack that's a sad (cheap) version of this one, but it's getting a little rickety and worse for wear. We actually kind of need a new one. Yes! Excitement in the registry department achieved! I always come around eventually... (Well, almost always.)

Flipping through the catalog also made me realize that I'm going to be WAY more excited about registering if we buy a home before our wedding. We have everything we need for apartment living, but I guarantee we're going to want to upgrade and fill a lot more space with our own stuff once we're in our own place. The good news is--the market is right and it's our plan to be in our own home before summer. Now we just need to find The One.
