As many of you probably already know, I’ll be getting married this October.  And, as part of wedding preparations, my fiancee, Anna, and I (well, mostly her) are pulling together our wedding registry.  In fact, as part of our 4th of July trip, we’ll be spending some quality time at Macy’s picking out a bunch of random stuff that will likely collect dust in the back of cabinets until the day arrives that we opt to use them at my “I got my AARP card today” celebration banquet.  We’re also registered at Crate & Barrel, Chuck ‘E Cheese, and Bed, Bath, & Beyond (I’m hoping to get some of the Beyond – as you’ll see here).

To be very honest, June was a super busy month at Cressey Performance, and July will undoubtedly be our busiest ever.  So, the other night, when Anna started peppering me with questions about what I wanted to add to the registry, I really didn’t have the brain power in reserves to make a valid contribution to the discussion.  As such, I’ll probably just be getting wooden spoons and this framed, inspirational piece for the entryway to greet all our visitors and make them feel special.

Noticing my not-so-unintentional apathy, Anna joked that it’d be a piece of cake if there was a way to register at Perform Better (or anywhere else) and just ask for training goodies for the gym – and that’s when the wheels started turning.  At the very least, I figured it’d give us some blog content and reader-writer interaction as we head into the weekend. I know I’d get myself some heavier dumbbells – maybe a pair of 110- and 120-pounders – and a Buffalo bar.

If you had a “lifting heavy stuff registry,” what would you add to it?  Bands and chains?  A sled?  Books/DVDs? A Diamond Dave’s Ninja School instructional video?

Tupperware and spice racks?  “No says I!”

Let’s hear some suggestions in the comments section below.  And, until next time, have a great holiday weekend and “don’t go ninja-ing nobody that don’t need ninja-ing!”
