It's been a week of new toy syndrome for me. Which is good since there has been rain and storms everyday this week. Rain, and really overcast days in general, and I don't get along. Whenever it's raining I just want to curl up in bed and sleep all day. Plus when it rains for several days in a row I tend to start getting depressed. So new toys helped combat that this week.
Friday I dragged David over to Atlanta so we could go to IKEA. That's the part that really required the dragging since he's a typical male in the hating shopping sense. I don't know if any of you have ever been to IKEA but I love the store. And the Swedish meatballs. If you've never been, check it out if there's one nearby or at least the website. You can get some great ideas on making the most of small spaces and pick up some great deals on household items. I picked up some new plates in a pretty dusty blue, $15 for an 18 piece set. And the set is all plates and bowls with no mugs like most sets. If there's one thing I don't need more of, it's mugs. I also grabbed a wok for $5, a couple of shelves and brackets for my office for $16 total, and my favorite find, a new mirror for my entryway.
See the rest after the break
