I still Hate Ikea (Nov 25)

Tried Ikea again because as hard as I looked I could not find ceiling light covers anywhere else. Believe me I've tried. So I ventured back to Ikea on Friday. Of course I got a little lost trying to find the store. It just wouldn't be an Ikea day if I didn't get lost just finding the place. Once again, I could not figure out how to cut through & get to what I wanted, which I knew was on the lower level towards the end of the store. NOOOOOO, I had to do the Ikea Labyrinth puzzle to get to lighting. Of course people were just lollygagging along as usual. I think Ikea must be more of a local tourist attraction than a store for a lot of these people, because they are obviously in NO hurry. They sit on every couch and switch on every light as they meander through the store. I'm glad for Ikea that there are people out there that like them. At least this time I knew where the bathrooms were!!

Got my light covers, but of course when I got home, they aren't the right kind. At least I only got 2. So now I need to go back - AAAHHHHHHHHHH. I'm determined to find a way to go right to the end without having to go through the maze. I know there has to be a trick to getting through this store more quickly.

I'll report back on my anticipated success at a later date. So to all of you Ikea lovers - you can have it!!!

There is a bright spot to my Friday evening. Near Ikea is one of my favorite grocery stores, City Super. So I went & got ingredients to make pumpkin bread (our favorite). That is going to be my one traditional Thanksgiving effort. This is also close to where my friend, Sophia (she works with us) lives, so we met for dinner with her boyfriend, Eric. There is a food court at one of my favorite grocery stores, City Super. They have wonderful Korean rice pot meal with lots of veggies cooked in a pot so the rice gets a little crust around the pot. YUMMM. Afterwards we went back to Sophia's apartment so I could meet her cats (oh joy). They actually were very nice cats, very freindly. It was fun to go visiting.
