I love IKEA

no really, I do. But let's not get ahead of ourselves.

I had a really great weekend. Erik visited from Virginia and we had a mad dash around the monuments and museums. We didn't see nearly as much as I had planned on seeing, but we kept busy. I got to see zoo animals and the Calder at the National Museum, so I was happy.

I had an IKEA kind of day today with my mom. Oh IKEA, how I love you. Sometimes I think I might want to get married just so I can register at IKEA. When I left I said I wouldn't come back to Colorado until they put an IKEA in Denver, but I guess that turned out to be a lie. I love IKEA. So I tend to go a lot when I'm in DC. Today we found a desk and a futon for the room I stay in when I'm here. No more air mattress for me! We spend most of the rest of the day assembling said furniture and I felt like an action hero. Now that I can assemble furniture on my own, I'm a fully independent lady. It had to happen sometime.
