Got bombshell?: I'm registered at Monolo Blahnik...

I'm registered at Monolo Blahnik...

So, with my up-and-coming flunking-out of the singles' ward, I have decided to get married. To myself.
(I must thank Carrie Bradshaw, a fictional character, for this idea... Although I have many a time considered registering for Christmas.)
I am registered at Monolo Blahnik.
No, not really. But, I do think I should register somewhere. Just because nobody loves me doesn't make me any less in need of presents. In fact, I could argue that I am actually more in need of gifts because of my ultimate failure as a 'single mo female' to realize my full potential of wifey and mother. The presents can be a balm for my (nonexistent, but assumed for this particular social experiment) wounds... (I think I'm supposed to feel worse about it than I do... I think everyone else feels worse about it than I do, actually.)
Perhaps my online Anthropologie, Nordstrom, and endless.com wish lists can count as my registry? Perhaps I should register at Target, Crate & Barrel and Macy's. Does Saks Fifth Avenue have a registry? Because I really am partial to their shoe department...
Hmm... I think I'm on to something. Bridget Jones would so do this.

Pet peeves

The expression "kick (my, your, his, her) trash." You've probably NEVER heard that if you aren't mo. It's akin to "kick (my, your, his, her) butt."
Songs that tell a story (esp. ones that start and end with the same sentence, usually of the country genre)
the phrase "as per usual"
that Nicholas Cage Still has a career, should have ended after "Raising Arizona"
the question "what can I do you for?"
the glare of the sun off cars in mid-day
tights with open-toed shoes
cell phones in public
mis-uses of the words 'there,' 'their,' 'they're' (and similar grammatical errors)
counting new $1 bills
