There is a God

[Bailey Guns]

DISCLAIMER: I love my wife. I'm as happily married as any man can realistically expect to be. My wife is probably the smartest woman I've ever met.

OK...now that that's outta the way...

My wife's been wanting to go to IKEA. She seems to think I'd like to go to IKEA with her. I really don't know why she'd think that. I narrowly avoided having to stop by there when we were in town a week or so ago.

I thought she was over it. I was wrong.

This morning she's looking through the latest IKEA catalog. Then she makes a phone call. Then she asks me, "Would you be really disappointed if I asked Susan to to to IKEA with me instead of going with you?"

Women...even the really smart ones can come up with some pretty stupid stuff some times. At any rate, I think that's God's way of letting me know he's got my back.

Two questions:

Did she take the truck?
How well can Susan put furniture together?

Two answers:

Not my truck! She has a Traverse. Lots of room.
OK...I'll probably get stuck putting whatever she buys into useable form. But that's better than having to actually go there. I'll take that tradeoff any day.

Dude, you do realize there's food at Ikea, and places to sit and eat food and drink ... if you got dragged there at least you could sit in the restaurant or bistro eating Swedish Meatballs while the Mrs schleps around the place ... hell the hot dog and a coke is like a buck and a half! (if only they also served Påsköl)

Now you're going to end up having to put together the furniture WITHOUT getting any of the spoils (not even a bag of Swedish Fish) So all the pain, none of the gain.

Sorry, Z... You don't know my wife. A) She'll bring me meatballs anyway...she's just like that. B) She's the best cook I've ever met and I have the physique to prove it. If the meatballs are that good she'll make it her life's work to make something even better.

Either way, I don't have to drive 120 miles round trip to fight traffic and crowds to go to a place I have zero interest in going to. No...putting together some piece of wooden furniture is a small price to pay for that victory.

Fortunately for me (and my bank account), I managed to put about 400 miles between my wife and Ikea before it opened...

Yeah - but if you do it totally wrong then you'll never be asked to do it again. Problem solved.

Truck? Everything they sell seems to fit in a gawdamn 2'x5' box.


BTW Gilpin, that's just vol. 1-3.95 there.

Wow I really need to proof read...

[Mama Bear]

This made me laugh! I too wanted to go to the ikea and was shut down by cofi. God was probably in my favor too since I later realized I would have to put the stuff together myself not because he didnt want to but because he is umm challenged when it comes to following directions to put stuff together.
