The love of IKEA!
When I have a few free moments during the day I usually read my favorite blogs and do blog hopping, meaning I check out the blogs listed on other blogs or if the blog is a BlogSpot I just click to next blog button on the upper right corner. I found quite interesting and fun blogs that way. One example to that is forty-two roads. I love that blog mainly because the “MOM” is a crafty, Do It Yourselfer, writes wonderful tutorials and because there is a sweet, adorable 3 year old daughter named “LARA” and mom writes about Lara’s adventures :o) and the stuff she made for Lara. I just feel close to this blog and check it out whenever I can :o)
And from the 42 roads blog I found two straight lines. She too is a wonderful blogger and lives in Michigan :o) and I found IKEA hacker. Ohh! The love of IKEA! Back when we did not have an IKEA here in Michigan the closest one was in Chicago and we actually made the 8 hour round trip to go shopping, twice! Imagine our happiness when they opened an IKEA about 15 miles from our house :o) But despite the fact that we made those long trips to Chicago we seldom go to this closest one, I think because it gets really crowded especially on the weekends so the best time to go is weeknights, after 6 pm and giving my busy schedule and Lara’s sleep time that’s is not always easy. But we made a commitment and went last Tuesday night, there were so little shoppers there and that made the trip worth while. While my husband set down with few friends at the restaurant, Lara and I went shopping. I was really sad to find out that the chair and table set that I wanted for Lara was out of stock but was happy to get the other stuff on my list and about the short check out lines :o)
I actually took some pictures of the IKEA trip, but for the greener purposes we use rechargeable batteries throughout the house and my batteries were dead, this morning thinking about uploading pictures I left the dead batteries next to the charger in the kitchen counter and took 2 that I assumed had already been recharged. As I was driving to work I wanted take a picture of the beautiful sun shine over the trees, got the camera out, pulled down the window ready for the beautiful picture only to found out the batteries were actually dead, bummer! :o(
Writing this post made me realize I should list all my favorite blogs on here rather than having them saved under favorites on my browser, that way you can too do “blog hopping’” and see those wonderful blogs. I shall compile a list and add them here as soon as I can :o)
So the spring is here, finally! I have a huge to do list for the spring but I have to save that list for tomorrow, lunch time is almost over and I have to get back to work.
Happy Thursday!
