I ordered my wonderful, fabulousity-in-fabric dress about four weeks ago, and it had already arrived last week! The benefits of being one of the first (if not the first) ever women to order it, I suppose: already in stock. Nice. I picked it up, turned down a $500 flat rate for alterations (I felt like that was a bit of a rip, was that a mistake?) and now, I am in desperate need of a tailor. Aah! I thought I had 3 more months to find one, this all happened so quickly, and I wasn't ready to lock myself in to $500 when I hadn't done my research yet. And they wanted me to come get the dress within the week. What was I supposed to do? Oh well. We'll see how that turns out.The FFG and I registered at Target and Bed, Bath, & Beyond a couple of months ago and let everyone know that what we really, really want for Christmas are things for the apartment. We already know that all of our siblings have foregone that advice for some entirely different - Lord knows what.
I hope my sister-in-law didn't get me another purse.
Is it wrong/ungrateful for me to be disappointed if people buy me things we really don't need/probably don't much want in lieu of the necessities we've registered for?
Is it wronger/ungratefuler if I take back the new purse and buy a toaster?

I didn't use Catan's alterations either. The $500 flat rate just didn't sit well with me. I'm taking my dress to Leonardo's in Rocky River. They do their alterations a la carte. Definitely check them out :)
Can a purse make toast? Case closed!
