11 hours at Ikea and all I got was this stupid kitchen
[jordanna]

Of course we weren't really at Ikea for 11 hours, 5 of those hours were spent driving our truck (through a flood on the way there, check the pics!). Ikea is a torturous necessity in life. It offers so many solutions to problems you never knew you had (clearly the towel to wipe the dog's feet HAS to hang on a hook shaped like a dog heiny). And, to be honest, walking in and buying cabinets for a kitchen that I designed and get to build is fulfilling a long time dream of mine. After picking up all the cabinets, I am no longer deluded into thinking we will be installing them on Sunday. It is going to take us until labor day to assemble them. Despite the 6 hours shopping, we managed to exit Ikea with only 100$ of unplanned purchases (including a 2$ milk frother, an aloe plant, and 2 handblown smoke colored scotch tumblers). For this I think we deserve a medal.
