Frustrated

Tonight I am frustrated about two things:

#1  Went to Sioux City this weekend to visit my parents.  Wanted to pick up the changing table from my grandma's house.  (My uncle built it for my Mom when my brother/sister/and I were babies.  I plan to refinish it, rub on a little wood oil, spruce it up a bit, use it for my babies).  Anyways, it wouldn't fit in my car.  Seriously.  I bought a "family car" with a "family hatchback" so I could transport "family items" like changing tables.  Ugh.  I have some free time this week and I was going to work on the wood, put the shelf liner on, get the baskets in it and fill 'em up with all the stuff that is sitting around the baby's room.  But, no.  Thought of strapping it onto the top of my car Griswold-style...  So my new plan is to wait for someone with a larger vehicle to make a trip westward, and maybe the changing table will come with them.  I'm about ready to say "screw you changing table.  I was going to fix you up and make you new again but now you can rot for all I care."

#2  We have over $300 in Younkers gift cards from our wedding almost three years ago.  (FYI - they never expire or depreciate).  I want to use the gift cards on items for our home, since they were wedding gifts.  We basically got everything from our registry for the wedding, so I've been hanging on to the gift cards for a rainy day.  Or hell, just a day when I need them.  Like now.  Of course Younkers doesn't have anything for babies except clothes.  Why would they?  Then I could've gotten my bedding or furniture or something for free.  Or, why doesn't Younkers sell cameras?  Because we *lost our camera last month.  And we're having a baby that will be adorable and need to be photographed.  Wait - Younkers does sell cameras!  Online!  ...............  That's what I was trying to buy today.  The cameras are about $20 more at Younkers than what you would pay at another store.  But I thought - who cares?  The camera will essentially be free...  Well guess what... you can't use gift cards online.  Seriously.  Seriously?  I finally found something to blow a hundred dollars on and now I can't use my gift card?  I guess I'll just save the gift cards until eighteen years from now when baby girl needs a prom dress.

*When we moved our bedroom from upstairs to the main floor we "lost" our camera.  Mike swears he has looked in every drawer and behind every nook and cranny.  I know it's around here somewhere.  Or it got thrown away by accident.
