There's an App for that!

Our registry just introduced a barcode scanning app for adding items and managing the list on the go. That's great news for these two iPhone users!

It's downloaded, synced and ready for use. Just need to test it out on some unwitting barcodes.

The only downside? Giving Mr. P's iPhone "scan gun" capability. They might have created a monster. But hey! Since I have my own phone, I'll finally get a chance to scan in some items.

Registry Meh

Two stores. Almost a half day at the mall. We felt victorious, but our registry still had gaping holes. No matter that Macy's didn't carry the vacuum or clothes steamer I had in mind. We had an upcoming trip to Bed, Bath & Beyond.

When the selection at BB&B failed to impress, I was left adrift (and without a decent vacuum). We already had three registries. We were NOT making it four. If we couldn't find what we needed from the existing registries, then we'd have to do without. The floors would just stay dirty. Wait a minute... that makes no sense! I was conflicted. On one hand, I felt like we were being greedy for needing a fourth registry. But the missing things were some of the very first items we brainstormed to put on the list.

Long-distance dress discussions

Mom and Dad live 8 hours away. It is so frustrating to go gown shopping without her! I had to devise a way to include her in the experience without her physically being there...

It's a long drive between here and there.
