Who's Scoffing Now?

About a year ago, I posed the question on this very blog about a single girl establishing a registry. That's right - no marriage or baby for the reason - just a single, career-minded girl with the challenges of building a home by herself. A lot of people I'm sure read the post and rolled their eyes, some scoffed, and some responded - saying it was just poor form.

Well, I just did it a month ago - and ALL my Christmas gifts were off my registry. My mom even told me she was GLAD I posted what I wanted - so she didn't have to beleaguer herself with guesswork. Everyone wins!

Sad Irony

So, on my 31st birthday I'm sitting in a work meeting and my blackberry vibrates. I look at the email and it's an invitation to be profiled for the "Who's Who Under 30" feature for the magazine, Fast Company.

I took my fist and smashed that blackberry into little itty bitty bits.
