Phew! I'm tired. We just got back from 4.5 exhausting hours at Ikea. That place is like a time warp. We wanted to get some ideas for the new pad so we thought we would just jet up and take a look around and see if there was anything that would work. Turns out, we wandered the place for hours and walked out $300 in the hole. I swear, now I know what it must have been like to be a Israelite following Moses through the desert. I think I circled the same place like 12 times. Actually, a more proper description of it would be like a casino. No clocks, no clear path out, and next thing you know you wallet just got lighter by a few Ben Franklin's. Oi Veh.
The best part was on the last 10 minutes of the drive home all I heard was "WAAAAAAHHHHHAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH" at about 88 decibels. Oh well, the boys lived and we got some much needed junk for the house.
On a separate note, I don't think I ever want to move from this place. It's not that I am so in love with it or anything, I'm just petrified to think about moving all of the stuff that we will accumulate while we're here. Our move from our old apartment to here was so stinking easy because we had hardly any junk. This place feels almost empty but we're filling it up fast AND we now have a garage to put a bunch of stuff in. Heather is already talking about getting a huge sectional couch and a couple chairs and a bigger table and all I can think about is how much I don't want to move all that out of here if and when we move again. At least it's still a minimum of 11 months off.

Tell her NO!
I think Ikea is more like an opium den: It's just a bunch of Asians and pillows.
Oh, and it's "Oy vay."
you definitely need a plan when you go to ikea...it's never just "oh lets go look and see" bad idea! It's okay, you'll get it right someday!
yeah, we had a vague idea of a few things that we needed but it just got outta hand quickly. I think brick even killed a man
"Yeah, there were horses, and a man on fire, and I killed a guy with a trident."
i've been meaning to tell you brick, you should probably find a place to lay low for a little while until the heat is off
I like the cafeteria at IKEA... & I like to wander through the bedroom stuff & the living room stuff, esp. after having spent a couple of hours online browsing through stuff to maximize our time in the store. Good times.
