Not that we would have NEEDED to, but I liked how it became a non-decision.Kelseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02256355039094301578noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4636072180687067092.post-58607894676320684892011-08-17T18:51:02.694-07:002011-08-17T18:51:02.694-07:00I found this post highly entertaining, probably on...I found this post highly entertaining, probably one of my favorites that you've written. I don't know if that's bad, or if you'll find it offensive in some way, but I mean it as a compliment. <br /><br />Yet another way that you and I are different is that I love having "nice" china (I use that term loosely since our pattern is definitely on the lower end of the price spectrum). I love it because I can bring it out to make a special occasion feel more special, or to make a no-occasion day feel like something out-of-the-ordinary. <br /><br />But I have serious regrets about the pattern we chose, a plain white with silver rim. I'm sure that at the time I was thinking about how practical it would be, how it would match any dining room decor I might ever have, and wouldn't clash with tablcloths and napkins I might want to use. <br /><br />This is all true, of course, but I find myself regularly salivating over beautiful, intricately-patterned china that I see in magazines, catalogs, or stores, wishing that I had chosen something that would delight my eyes every time I use it instead of my plain white plates.<br /><br />So....what does all of that say about *me*? ;-)Kerihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05544930173539144894noreply@blogger.com
