August! Yay!
Nothing in particular to look forward to, except perhaps, my vacation!
Busy little ants
Well, I’ve some idea what I want to be doing on vacation – road trip! It should be fun, being on the road. Once we get KF’s car all fixed up and in shape we’ll be ready to run.
Cleaning up
Well this weekend was cleanup weekend, the first in a long time. Last night I decided we needed to get organised, and planned to head to Ikea today despite it being on sale, and a Sunday to boot. We got there at about 10.45am or so, and even though KF wasn’t hungry I dragged him straight to the cafeteria. Can’t shop on an empty stomach.
I was ready for a long queue, so I dashed there ahead of KF so we could get in line. To my surprise, we strolled right in, and found seats immediately. It’s the first time I’ve been there in ages without having to wait. After lunch, we headed downstairs to get the boxes and containers and other stuff we needed to get organised. It was pleasant, not too crowded. Even at the checkout there wasn’t really a queue. And when we were done, the staff helped us get our stuff into the taxi (no line there either) – all we had to do was sit.
On our way out we stopped by at the Swedish Food Shop and got some meatballs. For $17.50 you get a tub of 30 or 40.
Sidetracked
Getting through Ikea without killing anyone was a huge accomplishment, so when I got home I rewarded myself with a nap. When I got up I was so hungry I cooked up some spaghetti and meatballs – and here’s the big mistake – we decided to watch V while we ate. I remember watching it in the mid-80s, but hadn’t a clue what was going on, except the aliens were lizards and they ate mice and birds. Well, after the first episode I was glued to the TV and only finished the entire mini series at 10.30pm or so.
So much for cleaning up.
