Okay, So It's Not 11...And There's No Film.

[badstar]

On Tuesday night I came home from work. WEnt upstairs to find meapet looking out her window, she old me she had JUST messaged my phone to find out when I was getting home. Like, the second before I walked in. Apparently she was impatient. Next thing I know I'm on my way to um....Ikea. I have never been to Ikea before. I have spent gobs and gobs of time teasing people like meapet, forexample and dcnblus for being such faithful members of the Cult of Ikea though. (Hey, it has to count for something.)

So Mea took me to Ikea where I was first quite astounded with how huge the place was. You could easily filt multiple football fields in there. And then there was the stuff. Okay..admitedly, much of the stuff is pretty cool. I had a time wrapping my brain around the idea that a while huge shelving unit was less than $40. i literally squeaked when I saw this huge corner wardrobe unit thing. I did find some stuff that I want. I don't see myself becoming a true worshipper.

One thing that I could make regular visits for...the little Swedish Food Market corner where I noticed shelves and shelves of Kristal sparkling cider...yummy stuff- Pear Cider! So hard to find!

Um, but yeah I want a few thigns. A chair, some shelves, some bedding, some random storage things (we have practically no closetage in the house...) some stuff. The whole of the stuff might cost $300 or $400, but I'm not getting it all at once.

I had the same experience. Friends raving about Ikea. I took Mat one weekend he was visiting when I was on LI and it was amazing. Three floors with directional arrows, so you knew where to go and such.

Yeah, lots of things we want. I did get a cool teapot, candles (like 100), and some cheap picture frames. Tre' cool.

We hope to order a desk table at some time, but that'll be a while. Trust me, you'll become a worshipper before long. Besides, there's always Ikea online if you don't like the crowds. ;)

Take it easy!!

*chuckle* You've only experienced ONE Ikea tho... you have yet to experience the two others in the area, or to go on an Ikea road trip. The food usually isn't too bad -- tho, the one in College Park even offers breakfast. And that entertainment stand is Ikea... just have to get you the shelves and the drawer.

You have only begun to touch the thin wood veneer surface that is the Cult!!!

The one in White Marsh is offering breakfast now too. I need to go to the one in college park- I hear its really really nice. I think i like white marsh better than woodbrige though.


don't worry, she'll be one of us soon enough :P

CP is a wonderful location! In one of the kitchen set ups, they have a remarkable view of the Beltsville Agricultural center property. You can almost forget that you are right in the armpit of the highway system at the I-95 interchange... anytime y'all wanna go down there, let me know!

I'm hoping to road trip, at some point, up to the one just outside Philly *hehe* and the one in Pittsburgh!! :) or the ones in Jersey....

Ren Faires and Ikea Stores -- does life get any better??
(hmmmmm... possible book title?)

Apple Question

I need your help, Fuego. You can email me at Jackingreen60@aol.com if you need to.
My question is....If I messed up my mac by trying to install panther, how can I return it to the previous
operating system. What do I push when I turn on the computer. I know I am supposed to push something,
but I can't remember what it is. I'll be grateful if you can help me on this one.
