We Love Lamp(s) and Other Random Stuff

I apologize for a offense relapse in HSS postings... we've been enjoying a much-warranted relapse in projects since a building is finished (both since we *deserve* to suffer a week finish here as good as there though working, as good as since we *need* to spend money again). In a mean time, there has been a change in concentration to elementary updates as good as sprucing's up.Last week finish concerned a try which module never again be repeated: a solo trip to IKEA. Yes, we went to IKEA... alone. This was a stupid thought from a get-go, as good as we knew that. we titled and/or texted nearly everybody we knew didn't have skeleton to wager if some a single was up for losing their thoughts along with me. No bites. So we decided which I'd just suck it up as good as go some way - we had a small running list of things to demeanour for/hopefully collect up there. This list included, in between other miscellany: runners for a hallways, another dog-tail offshoot (as seen here), as good as lamps -- dual lamps, to be precise.For some friends of ours celebration of a mass this who have commented possibly to me or behind our backs most how dim Dave likes to ready a house, you'll be pleased to undergo which it was Dave who said, "you know, we consider we requirement a building lamp for a vital room." There was fist-pumping in victory going upon exclusive my head, though we calmly said, "Oh, really? Yeah, that's not a bad idea." And I'd also recently concluded which our existing table lamp in my small celebration of a mass dilemma also didn't really fit, as good as it needed to go. So, deep breaths in, as good as soured to IKEA we went.I was at IKEA for FOUR AND A HALF HOURS. This was not since we had which most to do there. It was roughly to a single lateral due to a anxiety-related wandering which came from opinion overwhelmed with having to make IKEA decisions though some input. we institute a couple of aforementioned "miscellany" quickly, as good as an art-and-frames ask for my SIL, as good as afterwards changed onto a Lighting department... where we outlayed at slightest an hour. we narrowed down a building lamps to three, as good as afterwards titled Dave to demeanour them up online, as good as we picked one. Then we picked a table lamp in a similar plate base, as good as outlayed a subsequent 40 mins having shade anxiety. we titled my SIL as good as mom for consults, as good as texted 3 friends. Ultimately, we nervously came to a conclusive choice and, voila, dual lamps were chosen. I'll uncover we a lamps prior to we discuss it we how we outlayed a subsequent 45 mins of my IKEA experience: (floor lamp! yay! as good as p.s., how lovable do those small stools we institute demeanour with small plants upon them?!) (pretty impressive shade for most a dramatic selection process, eh? don't decider me if you've never been to IKEA alone.) To interpretation this story of why never to go to IKEA alone, permit me discuss it we most how we eventually institute our ordinal dog-tail hook. we removed from a final instance we bought these which we institute them in a hulk garbage garbage bin of at slightest 800-45,000 different-colored dog-tail manus somewhere below near a registers. So, we saved this object for last. we went below as good as institute my Lack shelves (see upon top of print - they don't have an tangible home yet, though I'm certain you'll wager them unpacked as good as upon a surround in an arriving post) upon a self-service shelves, as good as searched through a rugs--no runners came home with me, though we did collect up a small kitchen carpet which looks good... see:I browsed a plants as good as planters, though nothing struck my fancy, as good as every a while, we hadn't seen a bin-o-dog butts. Finally we gave up as good as waved down a yellow-shirted man. "This is going to receptive to advice odd, though we used to lift these surround manus which demeanour similar to a behind finish of a dog," we pronounced with eyebrows raised in mild embarrassment. "Hmm..." he scratched his scabby chin. "Yeah, well, if we have them, they'll be upon a second building in Home Accents. But, we dropped everything which has to do with animals." What? What does which even mean? "I'm sorry," we said, "everything? These aren't for animals," we explained. "I know," he pronounced matter-of-factly. "You ease have them online, we patterned prior to we came," we pronounced knowingly. "Oh, well, afterwards may be we should just acquire them there," he pronounced as good as walked away. I'm not kidding.Well, we was determined. we got myself onto a elevator in annoy of my parched twist grip as good as slowly-creeping-in headache, an viewable symptom of too most instance lonely in an IKEA. we got soured upon 2 as good as went true to a map of a floor. we located myself as good as afterwards Home Accents as good as started making my way behind around a floor. But for a hold up of me, we was walking in circles. No dog butts. we eventually institute another friendly employee as good as made my aforementioned ungainly request. "Oh, yes! If we go without delay conflicting to a conflicting lateral of a building from where we have been now, when we wager a mirrors, they should be in a hulk albescent garbage garbage bin upon your left. And if they're not there, I'm contemptible we're every out." OHMIGAWD. If they weren't there, we was going to harm someone.So soured we went again, as good as certain enough, there were a mirrors, as good as certain enough, upon my mitt was a hulk albescent garbage garbage bin of dog-tail hooks. Red, orange, as good as prohibited pinkish dog-tail hooks. we was not dismayed. Just as we recalled, there were somewhere in between 800-several thousand manus in this bin. we dug in elbow-deep as good as changed them every around. And there, upon a bottom, were dual black dog-tail hooks. we grabbed one, sighed heavily, as good as made for a elevators. we module not supplement to a story by explaining how we got my loot to a car (since we can't take a carts into a lot, as good as we had no partner in crime to watch my stuff whilst we went to encounter a car), though we made it, as good as though I'll never again go there alone, we module go back. And all's good which ends well. (*someone* told me which we should regularly accessorize in peculiar numbers!)
