Also, Ryan put Swiss Cake Rolls on their wedding registry. I just needed you to know that.
Allie, my Starlite other half and bride-to-be, texted me last night to ask if Roomie and I wanted to come over to her and Ryan’s new place for an impromptu dinner. Never ones to pass up pasta, we immediately accepted their offer and told them we’d be there around 8 p.m.
Oh yes. I was eating dinner at my usual bedtime. JUST KIDDING.
Kinda.
Since Allie and Ryan aren’t married yet, Ryan is the only one living in the house and has become, um, unusually excited about home decor. Every time I go over there, he’s got something new to show me including last night when he began telling me about this blanket (which was actually a twin bed comforter) that he had bought at Target for $4.99, AMY BETH, CAN YOU BELIEVE IT?!?!? I GOT IT FOR $4.99!!!
I believe he may have been a little excited about the purchase.
After dinner, Ryan began talking about the blanket again, telling me how much he loved it and did he mention it was $4.99 and would I like to lay down on the couch with it so I could experience it for myself?
And so, because he really wanted me to experience this blanket, I went to the couch and laid down with that blanket all wrapped up around me. And you know what? HE WAS RIGHT. The blanket was lovely and quite the good deal if I do say so myself.
He then showed me the new mirror his future mother-in-law bought for them while Allie began putting paint on the bathroom wall to show Roomie and I the colors they’re trying to decide between. As all four of us were coming out of the bathroom, I looked over into the master bedroom to see the very blanket that I had just curled up with laying in it’s packaging on the floor.
That’s right. Ryan bought two of them. Because? Hello? THEY WERE $4.99. AT TARGET. CHECK YOUR LOCAL CLEARANCE AISLE, STAT.
‘Cause I just don’t think you’re going to be able to get Ryan to part with his new blankies.
My sister in law’s fiance put cereal and gum, yes gum on there registry. Guess what I’m getting them?
I love that I’m not surprised that Ry put swiss cake rolls on the registry. He’s so funny!
The last wedding I went to, the groom made sure everyone knew he registered for video games. He said they could also double as coasters, frisbees, or wall art. Guys with registry guns crack me up with what they justify.
I saw a registry once on which the bride AND groom had opted to put a $179 LEGO CASTLE. Um, don’t think so.
And how great is it that Ryan is interested in the decor? Love that kind of husband…
correction… $4.98.
Ok… so what does said blankie look like? I’m always looking for new ones… my kids keep stealing my favorites!
Also, Jaclyn registered for Swiss Cake Rolls when she was pregnant with Kate… yes, I bought them for her. That’s just the kind of friend I am!
HAHA – too funny I wish I could say that I didn’t buy two of stuff like that…. whether I needed it or not!
Swiss cake rolls and warm fuzzy blankets will get a lot more use than an avocado peeler. What color did they decide on in the bath? I am remodeling and VERY curious.
I would be totally stoked about a $4.98 blanket too. That’s a dang great deal. I’m so going to Target when I leave work!
oh i love target clearance racks.
what would happen if the swiss cake rolls were on clearance????
you make me laugh and i really needed a laugh tonight!
swiss cake rolls?
love it!
XOXOXO
I was going to leave my first comment about registering for Swiss Cake Rolls when I was pregnant with Katelyn but Jennifer beat me to it! I got like 7 boxes!! It was awesome!
Last time we were at Target Brian bought a rug for $6. You can’t even buy a door mat for $6. I love Target!
Get the Swiss Cake Rolls….the easiest wedding gift ever!
I work at Target so I know all about the nifty cool clearance racks.
Sorry Jaclyn! I forgot that you are a loyal reader of Amy Beth’s blog! Didn’t mean to steal your glory!
After my husband (fiance at the time!) finished our registry at Target I came home to look at it online and found different Halloween costumes and a bag of M&M’s!! LOL!!
