This pretty much sums up my afternoon:

After driving back from H's parents' house, I had to run to Ikea because we needed a dresser for the guest room. We're having last minute guests in 4 days, and the only thing in there is a bed, on a frame, and a tv sitting on the floor. Soooo, even though we said we were going to take our time and buy *actual* nice furniture that could be used for one of the girls when we buy a house, we relented and bought some more ikea stuff. yay.

But I swear, people get in there and act like they've never seen cheap crap before. They just get in there, and stop. And stand, and look, and point. "oooh! look a cutting board for $2.99, and look over there! Plates! In a cool box!" All while standing perfectly effing still. Or maybe rotating the cart in the direction of what they're talking about, but not actually moving

MOVE IT PEOPLE! I have shit to buy! Sloth doesn't work in a giant effing warehouse store with hundreds of miniature aisles!

yeah, that place can be a clusterfuck. What dresser did you end up getting? The Hemnes (I think?) line is actually not that bad and has held up well so far

[bonquiqui]

Yeah, shopping there is always a hassle

We got a dresser from a new (I think?) line, the Birkeland series.



The thought is that it is neutral enough that we could mix it w/ a different bed from somewhere else for the girls' rooms, or get the matching headboard later for the guest room.

It looks good.

It would be dangerous if I lived within 30 minutes of ikea. Right now it's at least 2 hours and that involves getting on the interstate with the crazies. Otherwise I would be like "oh I need a trash can! Off to ikea! Oh I need a light bulb! Off to ikea!"

I wish Ikea had an "I hate people" shopping hour, where people who hate dealing with idiots could go and shop with like minded people. Get in, get yo shit and get the fuck out. Maybe even sprint through the store. It would be so liberating.
