After I bought my car Saturday, I was looking for ANY excuse to drive it around.
So I IM'd Steve and said, "Let's go to Ikea. I'll pick you up in a few minutes."
His response? "Ummm, ok?" He knows better than to argue with me. Bless him.
Neither one of us had anything to shop for, but it was the farthest store from my house downtown I could think of. Plus, I get infinite amounts of delight walking around the store imagining I had thought of Ikea first.
Neither one of us had anything to shop for in particular, but when we got to the curtain section the guilt blindsided me. Six months in my new apartment and STILL no curtains. Shame on me. So I picked out some interesting wire contraptions to hang them on, and then some lovely "canvas-y" looking curtains in different shades for my bedroom and living room.
Of course the brilliance that is Ikea is coming home, opening up the packaging, and reading the insert to THEN find out the screws aren't included. AND that a wire cutter is required. Apparently the Swede that thought THAT bit of packaging up was drunk at the time. 'Scuse me, but I'm a 27 year old single female. Sooooooo... do I LOOK like I keep spare screws in random shapes and sizes sitting around next to my martini glasses?
Yeah, thought so.
So I hopped in my car at 9:30 Saturday evening and drove to the farthest Target from my house I could think of. OF COURSE I did! Came home, hung the curtains, and slept until a whole 9:00 Sunday morning because it was so dark in my bedroom. NINE O'CLOCK! It's a miracle, truly.
Apparently Steve hung his curtains too. Yup, Steve bought and hung curtains on Saturday after ironing them. I.r.o.n.i.n.g them. On Saturday. Evening. Ironing curtains. And hanging them. Don't believe a word he says, his days are jam packed with all kinds of curtain-shopping adventures! He kills me.
In other news, Joe won the car-naming contest with... Bella (goes well with Ella, don't you think?). For his trouble, he will get to watch Shaun of the Dead with me tomorrow evening at Brit's. Is he not the luckiest person EVERRRR?!

He is lucky. Although you might be unlucky in that I hear teh p1z0r might not be there.
And I must be weird or something for hanging curtains on a Saturday night. I really really need a life.
Ok the naming thing didn't last long enough......cuz I was thinking that "sophie" was a good one.....sophisticated yet sassy!
As for the curtain thing.....you guys scare me.
Oooh, Sophie! That's a good one too.
WHICH ONE IS BETTER?!
Sohpie? Bella? Sophie? Bella? Ummm, I'm gonna need your help on this one. Making decisions is all hard 'n stuff!
