Now that wasn't so hard, was it?
And yes, Ikea rocks. They opened one up here in Austin about a year ago. Sigh....:) Spouse calls me the world's darkest Swede.
We are both unfortunate and fortunate enough to not have an Ikea closer than four hours from us. We might actually move in, should they locate one nearby. The food is good and reasonable, the store is like a funhouse for parents and kids, and there's even comfortable places to work, sit, and sleep. What's not to love?
LOL. IKEA is so much fun! So are you a fan of their Sweedish meatballs? I love them, too.
