at IKEA. As a wise man once said, I don't get out much, but I FINALLY went to this wonderful world today. It was a strange surreal trip-with daughter, and ex. I know--weird, but ok. And he even paid for my little lamps that I just had to have. He said I paid for the gas and drove, it was the least he could do. Anyhoo, I just LOVED this place. And now that I know there's a whole other world out there, I plan on a return visit with lots of $$$. Funn!๐Ÿ˜€

Yes, it is! It's a black hole that sucks you in for hours at a time. :blink:
It's an amazing store, though!

And when you make your next trip to IKEA.... you will call me and I will meet you there! I have been once when it first opened. I would love to go back....... especially if you go with me! ๐Ÿ˜€ It only takes me 15 min to get there!

You definitely can spend a whole day walking around IKea. Don't have one close enough to me, but when I am near one, I always have to stop and go.
Don't know if you have ever seen their commercials in Europe, but my sister lived in Holland for years and their televisions ads were really racy ๐Ÿ˜€
