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.

Wow I really need to proof read...

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.

[Bailey Guns]

Do you have any idea how much work men get out of because they "can't follow directions" or they're "not doing it right" or various other reasons?

I don't, either, but it's a lot.

The quickest way to not get asked to do something again is to do it differently than how the woman wants you to do it.

There exists a user manual for women. It has never been opened.

The problem with the manual is Hispanic women consider it a "works in progress" so always changing the instructions

What most men that have never been to IKEA is unaware of, yes women can take hours in IKEA but they sell food and drinks there, the Swedish meatballs is the bomb and there is a bar across the street.

Good luck if she buys furniture other than storage items.

The couches/chairs are made for "little people". I'm 6'1 and feel like I'm going to hit terminal velocity before my ass makes contact with a cushion.

the storage type stuff is just your typical cheap wood, easy to put together, seems like it will last but definitely not high quality multi-lifetime furniture.

I'm glad you got out of going. It is a zoo and I just get pissed at the people that can't follow the damn arrows. I have had to go 1 time and that was the last time.

[Bailey Guns]

Yeah...she's looking for a small storage cabinet thing for quilting fabric. It won't get anything close to heavy use.

Regardless...I don't have to go. I've heard their meatballs are good...but it won't break my heart if I don't get to eat meatballs from a furniture store.
