I Love IKEA...

After breakfast and showers, I headed outside to put the cargo net in the back of the truck. We headed to IKEA for a little shopping. I needed new storage units for all the scrap booking stuff that is now on all over the floor. We had looked in the catalogs and found a few things to look at. So off we went making down the items we wanted. We ended up getting 2 metal filing units which will be great for stickers, a large wooden unit to set the cricut machine on and has drawers, a bookcase, and lots of boxes. Beth also got a filing unit for her desk. She had a plastic unit now and calls it some really bad names each time she needs to get in it a find something. I think it will be headed to the trash, but don't tell the unit that. We checked out and found we spent way more than planed but we really needed. It was nice to know we could get 2 hot dogs, chips, and a drink for a total of 2 bucks. We loaded the truck and headed home. The tricky part was getting everything down the stairs. As you know nothing comes assembled at IKEA and is all in compact heavy boxes. We were able to put the boxes on the chair and roll them to the steps, set them on the steps, and slide them down to a waiting dolly. Easy as pie. Beth began putting her unit together and I helped a little. Kim and Jojo stopped by for awile after Jojo was out of school. DJ called and I will be taking Kyle to Sylvan for his testing tomorrow. It is a 2 hour test so I need to make sure the DS is fully charged. We did get the bookcase assembled tonight, so we are making progress. It was cold as heck here this morning. I think the temperature gague read 1 degree and it looks like a 40 degree day tomorrow. But snow, sleet, sleet and rain are on the way for Wednesday.
