Road Trip

It takes an hour up and back to get to Ikea. I get to knit the whole way. That's my idea of a good time.



 I was too thrilled to be there to get any photos of the heavenly showroom but I did notice that it was still Christmas and everything was half price.



 I haven't been anywhere in ages so I took advantage. I filled two carts.


 I was very proud of myself when I skipped the bun. I really wanted a bun but I am back on my usual eating plan and I'm sticking to it. I need to be the Mother of the Groom in May. I really, really need to shed a few before I have to shop for some grownup clothes.


There was no knitting on the way home. I had to hold onto the four huge boxes of closet side panels for dear life. Of course they didn't have everything. The two drawer units I needed were out of stock even though the computer showed there were 7 in the store. Because of this discrepancy Ikea is shipping them to me free of charge. That's just so cool. I love Ikea.

    Boy, I miss Mandy living in Portland, Oregon. I always went to IKEA when I visited her. The nearest one to us is almost 300 miles away. Needless to say I don’t go to IKEA very often. Maybe once every couple of years. I can’t wait to see the goodies that you bought. I can live vicariously through you can’t I? Ha! Blessings, Betsy

    I bet you had fun! I love Ikea...but it is one of those places (like Costco) where you walk out with more than you intended to buy when you walked in. LOL

    So it was a two cart shopping spree and a good day out. Looks pretty crowded in the vehicle. Looking forward to seeing your new closet.

    It's so much fun to wander through Ikea - I always think I can certainly use one of everything! Wonderful that they're shipping the items you need for no charge! That's very good customer service!
