My Registry

Given that the baby registry seems to have become FUBAR, a subject you can expect multiple lengthy blog entries regarding in the near future, I decided to create a registry of some things I could really use right about now. This list is far from complete. In alphabetical order…

-Acknowledgment that there is more to my life than just the baby (2)
-Compliment (1)
-Condescension Protection (several)
-Confidence (several)
-Faith (1)
-Free Time (several)
-Friend (several)
-Get Out Of Advice Free card (several)
-Patience (several)
-Respect (several)
-Shelf to store egos (several)
-Stress Ball (1)
-Stuffed Crust Pizza with REAL cheese (2)
-Targets for Stress ball (0)
-Unsolicited Advice Defense Field (1)
-Wits (3)

Disclaimer: All of the above is likely to be nigh impossible to find, except the stress ball and to be honest I don’t really want one of those.

    “i always tell people that i have a dream boyfriend-in-law (is that the right term?)”
    I don’t know but that’s certainly nice to hear, I was beginning to feel as if I were disappointing people left and right. Missing deadlines I didn’t know I had on projects I didn’t know where assigned to me and such. And the projects I volunteered for blowing up in my face.

    “-Get Out Of Advice Free card (several)

    I suppose my concern there is if I make them myself they will take the form of my fist and that would be bad…probably. I wonder how bad it is that I’ve taken to picturing myself violently murdering these people…

    Thanks. I have a couple big rants in the pipeline but I’m sure a couple more gos like this and I’ll be fine.
