I NEVER go on weekends and pray everyone else stays home on other days. Was there yesterday -- after more than a year. It was empty and wonderful. I've assembled some things myself. After assembling two beds, however, I started paying for assembly. What takes me 2 hours takes them 10 minutes. Actually ordered new beds (replacing two small beds with two large beds) yesterday. They'll be delivered and assembled tomorrow... and they'll take away the old ones! Oh, and had Swedish meatballs for lunch! Thanks for the music. Call me Deacon Blues... and yeah, this will be in my head for the rest of the day!Moving with Mitchellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12954028272162285597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4501852053743373610.post-38253350264300956502019-10-05T19:30:55.673-04:002019-10-05T19:30:55.673-04:00I feel the same about Ikea, Janie!

My Ikea is too far for regular visits ... but is useful on occasions - I have furniture that is 27 years old - valued. If I visit friends I'll go with them - if I'm need of something specific and know I can get it there. It's interesting to look around ...and actually thinking about it - we had lunch there ... about 10 years ago - so don't go often! I'm enjoy your earworm .. cheers HilaryHilary Melton-Butcherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17596532480645510678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4501852053743373610.post-3671048958796756972019-09-28T22:34:17.492-04:002019-09-28T22:34:17.492-04:00Sorry I was just being a smart ass and invented so...Sorry I was just being a smart ass and invented some basket parts and an item name, but it does look rather official.<br />BMUB drove me insane, but hearing it so often in such obscure places was the impetus for a story line in something I have been writing.<br />Anne in the kitchenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01533249631969001657noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4501852053743373610.post-2290433522818703322019-09-28T21:30:10.319-04:002019-09-28T21:30:10.319-04:00I'm sorry I went in Ikea.

The dogs' claws snagged it so much that it was a mess within 24 hours. FYM bought an attractive rug, though, and some glasses. Spielberg is remaking West Side Story (I'm not sure how I feel about that). It will be a brand new movie for your co-workers. It breaks my heart that so many people know nothing about our history.
