What's the deal with Ikea? I've never been there (none here).
Honestly, I think the fact that you actually have to go there is part of the magic. It is a tourist destination.
The deal is---it is like an amusement park for furniture. You cant get out in less than one hour (one hour is pushing it) There is all sorts of awesome stuff that is much less expensive than other places....and they have these swedish meatballs and other swedish food in a cafeteria IN THE BUILDING so you can have a snack while you shop. The colors are bright and for those of us (me) who live in small spaces they have cool stuff that works in those small spaces. Like 8 person dining room tables that completely collapse to be like 1 foot deep.
I love it there. I love house stuff though...and decorating...and bright colors.
Omg you described it perfectly! I also always treat myself at the end to their hotdog special. Yummmm! Our apartment could be a showroom for ikea. I don't know wether I should be proud or hang my head in shame.
Every since that fucking super bowl commercial I'm a bit nervous of DS playing near the tv!! Do you all have it anchored to the wall or plan on doing it?
Eta: we've never had a problem with it wiggling or moving with the possibility of it falling
This is on our list of things to do...
Well...
It's on my list of things to do.
I think it's on DH's list of 'Things we don't have to worry about quite yet'
Also #EffNationwide and their scaryheartbreakingsad commercials.

I'm watching Kate plus 8. How does this woman manage it all and have time to work out? I wonder if she has nannies and they just don't show it on tv? She's annoying, but she's in great shape.
DW is on one of her "let's save money in the most horrible and ridiculous ways possible" kicks. She bought awful one-ply generic toilet paper. I got up when the baby woke this morning to find my lady bits unexpectedly assaulted by sandpaper. I am seriously considering going ut and buying the most expensive toilet paper I can find to make my point. Do they make gold-plated toilet paper?

Haha. One of the things I'll never budge on is charmin
This is probably the best thing about Ikea. I have a very hard time leaving with grabbing one since the smell follows you around. I think I may have to take a trip to ikea very very soon. My H and I used to go all the time, but probably haven't been there since like June or July.

Also, last night I had a cousin whom I've only seen like twice in my life call me and ask me about cloth diapers. I told her I'd write her a message telling her which ones I use and such and it ended up being like over a whole page since I typed it in Word first. I'm saving that bad boy for future diaper info sharing. haha
