the Swedish are coming!

IKEA has FINALLY decided to build a store here, which just makes me squirm with excitement. I don't think I've visited a store since I moved away from Chicagoland, so this is very good news! A lot of their furniture and products are too modern for my taste, but just wandering around the store is a huge source of entertainment. Also, my desk is from there and has served me well for the last five years or so.

  2. Ah ha! Didn't know you were keeping this blog.

    I'm not sure I share your excitement about Ikea. My inclination, to head to the basement floor, check out the nick nacks and leave.
