How in the HECK did I miss the grand announcement you could purchase Ikea stuff online? I thought you had to go to the store this entire time. Have I been living under a rock?! They have cute stuff for my master bedroom thankyouverymuch.
I live 15 minutes from an Ikea, so I have to restrain myself from going all the time. I do know that they ship, but I heard it's quite expensive. I love all things Ikea!
I had a coupon to a local jewelry store that they sent me for my birthday, and I forgot about it. Now it's expired and I'm sad.
@moonbeam I see what you mean about shipping. But it's lower than some other places I checked when looking for furniture shipping...which is still good in my book. Pier1 was worse....I may have DH look at some of this tonight.
Sorry about the coupon! That would have given me the sads too...

I am so frustrated! I wanted to get Garth Brooks tickets for my mom for her birthday when he comes to Chicago. I was on the site at 10:00 when they went on sale and still didn't get any! All the other ticket sites bought them and are now charging $130+ per ticket. Grr!!!
I live ~1.5 miles from Ikea and I've only been there like three times in the past four years. And I think the only thing I actually bought on any of those trips was bamboo.
jjwritergirl Your place of employment just AMAZES me
I ALWAYS ask first before bringing a new Mom a meal. I sure as heck don't ask to come in unless invited either. It's a major life change for them and I'm sure they're busy and getting adjusted.
MrsMB- I pretend that ikea doesn't ship because otherwise I would be broke.
jjwritergirl- I answer the door partially dressed multiple times, usually just the mail person which wouldn't be so bad if I didn't used to work with him when I delivered mail.... Lol
I told DH to invite the ILs to dinner if he wanted I am making a large moose roast for dinner tonight. (MIL will have a burger because she won't eat wild game.) when I told him to invite them I never thought about how the house looks. Now I either need to spend the day cleaning but I need to nap because I worked last night and I never slept so I'm exhausted.
jjwritergirl, wtf to your boss. A) coming before calling and b) forcing you to cook. The whole point of bringing meals to new parents is so they DON'T have to cook!
awick14, moose roast sounds interesting and yummy!
LOL, you guys won't believe this. I just now opened the bag to see what she brought. It isn't even cooked. They are just ingredients in a bag that I will still have to make. It's pasta and sauce, broccoli, etc. All I can do now is laugh.
I can't decide which smiley is appropriate. I can't choose between ^o) or or .
jjwritergirl That was inconsiderate and nice all at the same time. It was nice she thought of you guys but very inconsiderate of her not to call first. Sometimes the guys from the fire house stop by without warning. Once I was home alone, in my pjs braless which is a sight since I am large chested and one guy just walked right in the house. DH forgot to lock the door when he left for work. I now double check the locks.
DH took me to Five Guys for lunch and that was delicious.

I love my boss being out of the office today. I just finished painting my nails and they look super cute. I did like a tie dye with neon blue neon pink and neon orange.

jjwritergirl - that's so wild! We literally never answer the door if we aren't expecting someone. We figure if it's someone we want to see they'd know to a) make plans to drop by, or b) call/text like mad if we didn't answer the door for them. And to think, I may have missed out on bottled spaghetti sauce!
I met DH and FIL for lunch. Afterwards they were going to stop by an estate sale (with like 10 minutes of lunch break left) before going to work. I get a call at 1:21 (they are to be back by 1) right as I walk into my grandma's house. DH wanted me to go to the atm and bring them money because they found things they wanted. So I'm pretty sure they didn't get back until 2. I guess they know what they can get away with...
Today I did a yoga video I found on amazon prime. I found out I really suck at yoga.
I got a Zumba video on Netflix a while ago and threw out my back 10 minutes in because of my lack of coordination. I couldn't exercise for nearly 3 months. Embarrassing...
Zumba videos on netflix???!
***runs off to check out exercise videos on netflix***
I'm watching Girl Meets World right now on the Disney channel. It's so bad! The dialogue is totally unrealistic, and Corey and Topanga seem way too young to be parents. They seem stuck in their teenage roles. I can't stop watching, though.
jjwritergirl - I am dying at your boss showing up with ingredients for you to cook with. I'm almost surprised that she didn't invite herself in to have you prepare it for her right then and there.
