This is not at all timely, except I
ride past it all the time. I really like IKEA. I really do. I like
the merchandise and the Swedish meatballs. Our location doesn't open
until this fall. Now I have something to look forward to besides my
allergies. There's the part where IKEA is Swedish, but that doesn't
bother me at all. I am somewhat obsessed with Sweden. No, I'm not
Swedish, but British with a bit of Dutch and Native American.
“Where,” you are probably wondering, “is her melanin?” I have
wanted to know that my whole life. H&M is Swedish, too. So are
Volvos. I want a Volvo convertible. I don't know why, but I really
do. I want to wait until I'm better, of course. Once IKEA opens, I
plan to be there a lot. Lucky for me, my caregiver shares my penchant
for shopping there. My husband keeps saying, “Oh no,” every time
he passes by. He likes it, too, so don't let him fool you. Stockholm
is only the most expensive city in the world yet IKEA is inexpensive.
In general, I have expensive taste. I, however, do like IKEA. And for
the record I have tried to reign in my taste and failed. It's innate.
And I didn't win the HGTV Dream Home... again. Almost every year,
except when I am having a stroke or something. At least I can always
go to IKEA.

I can't wait to go to IKEA with you and see what all the fuss is about! Love you girl;)
I have never been to IKEA. Can't wait! And what's with the dream home contest anyway? You really should have won by now. Love you bunches!
I haven't been to an IKEA either. I'm excited to go to it! I love H&M though. I haven't been to the one in KC. I'll have to go next time I'm in town.
I absolutely love reading your blog!! Keep writing! Can't wait for the next one : )
I also share a love of IKEA! I love hearing stories Chris shares about you...particularly the one about going to the corner of broke and boredom at the mall. :) I think about you often...what a strong person you are to be going through what you are. It's neat to read your blogs...keep running that marathon...and I'll eat lots of cheesecake for you in the meantime!
