The Black Hole Known As.... IKEA!

Yet again I've been sucked in by the Black Hole  for time known as Ikea! I search and search for the best purchases (& most affordable) for my clients online, in catalogs & in stores - inevitably I end up at Ikea a few times a month.

Not one thing has changed since I was in there last - there aren't any new products i haven't already seen, sat in, or purchased... but somehow I'm sucked in for a minimum of two hours.  I tell myself before I walk in that I'm going to take all of the shortcuts & speed walk past the other patrons... sigh! If I'm not sucked in by something shiny its the smell of mashed potatoes, mac-n-cheese & meatballs that I know are lurking in the cafeteria.  Then to top it off they sell all too delicious cinnamon buns right before you walk out the door, as though you haven't eaten or wasted enough time already!

This go round I had a couple returns & needed to buy some new curtains  for an client - sounds simple enough right... 2 hours later I was dazed, confused & hungry.  I need an assistant if not simply to run to ikea but to keep me from gorging myself on meatballs & carbs.

I will update y'all with a picture of the curtains on the walls next week.... stay tuned!
