Sleepily grumbling
Nov. 6th, 2006 11:23 amNot sure why I'm half asleep today. I thought I got enough sleep last night, honest.
Productive weekend. Got a lot of the apartment reorganized, post-wedding. Paperwork and bills sorted out. We returned a couple gifts that were duplicates (the registry probably hiccuped) and switched them for the one or two things left. The one annoying bit is that we have enough in gift certificates to fill out the rest of our everyday dishes (we got 4 of the 16 settings we wanted) - but they're gone. Apparently the reason why no one got them for us is because Bed Bath stopped selling them. And despite their assurances when we registered, they did so without telling us. (They promised that if anything was going to be discontinued, we'd be told so we could buy it or have someone buy it or have it set aside. We heard nothing - not about the plates, not about the napkin rings...)
So right now we have 7 place settings of the old dishes (which are chipped and I never liked to begin with) and 4 of the new. It's not even like the silly things were expensive - we very deliberately chose very basic, inexpensive everyday plates. We'd happily buy the rest - only they're not there. Bed Bath is checking with the manufacturer to see if there are any available anywhere. If not, I guess we'll have to chose a different set. But then we've got these 4 random place settings...sigh. I know, poor poor me. Silly Bed Bath & Beyond.
