Sunday Funday

It was nice to get away last Sunday. Even if it was just for a day. We went to the drag way in Commerce first. What an experience. I have never been the racing type. But this is so much different that cars going around in circles 500 times. The feeling that you get when those drag cars go by is simply indescribable. The loudness, the vibration, the smell, the heat - it is all so intense. It's almost just like the rush you get when you are on a roller coaster without the tummy thing. It started raining so the racing stopped. We were going to go to the outlets but decided on Ikea instead! We finally have our living room almost furnished. Now I just need some art for the walls, matching footstools for our chairs, barstools, a case to put my Dunnys in and figure out how to get the couch I want. Here is what we purchased on Sunday...

All below is birch...

Eric got the same chair in medium brown finish.

This is the couch I want in Korndal Green - http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/S09840535.
I just have to figure out how to get it here without paying $360 in shipping costs.
Boo Hiss to that mess.

We also got glasses, silverware, a hammock, and dining room light amongst other small things. I think this was the most money we ever spent there. It was about time though. I saw Muslim women shopping there draped head to toe so you could only see their mysterious eyes. I had never been that close to a Muslim woman fully clothed like that before. My best friend in elementary school was Muslim and from Saudi Arabia and her family never dressed that way. It was just so different.
