We're almost grownups now!
The highlight of this past weekend: we finally got silverware.
It's not that we didn't have silverware. We had some kind of hand-me-down set of Lauren's that's very frilly and old fashioned. Not me at all. Not really Lauren either. We also had that fake bamboo silverware that I bought at Target for my freshman year of college.
When we created our registry, we chose a set that neither of us loved but didn't make either of us puke. That was a major accomplishment. In the end, though, no one got it for us and it wasn't something we wanted to buy because, like I said, neither of us loved it. So we kept putting it off.
Then on Saturday, Lauren and I went to SuperK to get ingredients for Monkey Bread and Lauren's work secret santa gift. Somehow, after walking past the silverware three times, I realized that we should actually LOOK at it. And on the bottom shelf, in a tiny box that we almost passed over, we found our brand new silverware. 18/8 stainless steel, cheaper than even the set we registered for at BB&B, interesting but still not crazy. And we BOTH actually LIKED it! We bought 2 sets of 4 servings each and we love them. They're super long and skinny and easy to hold and easy to clean and yea! Today I washed our old silverware for the last time.
Yes, I just wrote a whole entry about silverware. What's it to you?
Next on the list? We're going to buy actual glasses so that when we have dinner guests, like we did on Friday, they don't have to drink out of plastic cups from Walgreens that cost $2 for 3 cups.
Oh, and as a semi-related aside, I just followed a link to a LiveJournal group called Saucy Dwellings. I'm already an addict.

First of all, congrats on the silverwear! I think it's a very valid and exciting thing to post on.
Second of all, I *HEART* Saucy dwellings, and added them. I have to feed into my nesting obsessions once in awhile...
Hop eall is well and hugs!

We registered for and got that same dish drainer :) We just got some new silverware from my brother in law and sister in law, and although it's not what we would have chosen for ourselves, it's still pretty cool
