IKEA Saturday Recap

We made it. We made it to IKEA! Now, Lea had never been to IKEA, so she was not familiar with the great stuff and great prices! And once we got out of Oklahoma City, we had good weather. In fact, it was HOT! The thermometer in the car read 98 degrees at one point. In fact, I think I'm a little sunburned on my window arm.

So back to IKEA, we went through the whole store and got our stuff. I got my nightstands and are quite happy with them. However, since everything is flat packed, that brings a new task.

But we had a lot of fun. We ate lunch and then headed to Sam Moon. We met Amy there (our friend who lives in Frisco) and got to visit for a bit. After that, we headed to Plano to check out a yarn store that I had found online. I hit the big time jackpot with that store. And I caught a sale on all cotton yarns. So I seriously stocked up. I also got yarn for the third Christmas present. It's a wonderful baby alpaca! But I won't get too into the yarn. I'm sure I'm the only one it makes giddy. Lea waited outside for me in the heat - that's how interested in the yarn she was!

After that we headed home and we were lucky enough to get behind a woman in the exact change toll lane that didn't have any money. So she gets out of her car and digs around for some money with her butt sticking up in the air. Then she starts walking back towards us and asks if we have any change. LUCKILY, we did! So we think we'll be on our way? Not so fast my friend. She throws in the 75 cents and nothing. The light doesn't change and the coins don't register. So she throws in all the money she has managed to scrounge up and nothing. So finally she just pulls through. I pull up and throw my money in and guess what! The light turned green and we went on our way. So obviously, it was just not that woman's day!

And that is the great IKEA Saturday recap! I know, it was totally riveting. But once T gets everything put together and I get it set up in the room, you know you'll have some pictures.
