Well, up until my good friend Jessica's wedding in August, my fiance had never heard of such a thing. So I did get one and I ordered a surprise for the top of it, but I can't say what it is because my fiance might read this.
Just a random fun note for all peoples interested in wedding things. Can you believe the price of this butter dish? http://www.bedbathandbeyond.com/product.asp?order_num=-1&SKU=13612200 . Who knew that you could spend so much to entertain? Don't worry, I have no intention of registering for it. I have felt enough angst and guilt over the extravagance of my $9 butter dish that I almost didn't register for, because after all, how often will I use a dish for butter?
But not everything is cake and ice cream. My grandfather is in the hospital recovering from open chest surgery, and I just found out that some friends of mine aren't doing very well. It is so hard to see the people you love suffer. Sometimes, because of my nursing job, I feel like the ignorance that surrounds youth was taken away from me. I know what waits for me when I get old. And old age will come and sometimes sooner then you think. So enjoy your youth and don't be foolish and mispend it without ever thinking about the future, or mispending it by not ever thinking about the now, but always the focus on the future. It will come soon enough.
