The Great Swedish Adventure Today I embarked on what can only be described as an adventure. It was an adventure through the home furnishings store only known as Ikea. Now, any other furnature store's grand opening would be nothing special. Maybe a sale, maybe some perks. WELL, at Ikea it is an ordeal. It took us 30 minutes and a line around the building (and this is no small store mind you) just to enter. Upon reaching the front door we were bombarded by "co-workers" armed with clappers, screaming and yellling as you walked in. (what a horrible job)

And then you got to manuver through the crowded showroom, writing down the pieces you wanted to buy so you could pick them up in the warehouse later. Ikea is a cool store, if you've never been you should make a trip to see one, but never ever do it on opening day. EVER.

The event proved productive as we left frisco with a desk chair, bed, nightstand, bookshelves, dragon blanket, and some drawer pulls (for the desk)Thank you Sweden for making afordable furnature for poor collage kids. You are cool.  ¶ 6:14 PM
