Saturday Sightings (Day 127)…

There are very few places in the world that can elicit such an excited “YES!” when asked if I want to go there. IKEA is definitely one of them. For some reason, IKEA makes me happy.

I’ve been suggesting that an IKEA trip was in order for a few weeks now. It was kind of a gross day outside this morning so The Scientist, his bro, and I got on our way to get our IKEA on. BUT first! I took my car to be detailed and get my last endurance walk out of the way. Just a small 5-miler. On the way back to my house I passed by this little collection.

This is not outside of a business or school. It is outside of one of my neighbor’s house. Who needs this many monitors at one time?! Interesting. Very, very interesting.

So I went to IKEA with one piece of furniture in mind and one accessory. I’m perfectly aware that I would walk out with much more, but I HAD to get these two things or it would be a failure trip.

My final IKEA report…after 4 hours in the store I came home with not only the bookshelf and lamp, but also a few mixing bowls, a large pot, TONS of placemats, some random bowls, and a bunch of frames. The Scientist’s bro also got a few things so the Hyundai was packed to the brim. Yay for a successful Ikea trip!

To cap off a long shopping trip we all went out for some Shabu Shabu and drinks.

My veggie platter. I went for the kimchi broth. Nice and spicy!
