IKEA Madness!!!

The furniture, oh the furniture...
Vala and I made the inital trip to wild where teapots and slipcovers roam rampant attacking every possible variation of a couch. We oohed over the paper lights, we aahed over the magnetic knive holders, and we sighed over the total lack of registry options. I have come to the conclusion, however, that the student center at Newbold must have been completely furnished from the local IKEA or just things Gert brought with him.
Note: NEVER vist an IKEA on a Sunday when loud crowds are ensured and the overwhelming nature of IKEA ends up coupled with the overwhelming nature of people everywhere and by the time you reach kitchen goods you are one paper bag away from hyperventilating. At least until you find the food.
Note #B: Regarding food, remember the custard from Newbold, they have it. Remember elderflower press, they may have it. I will bring samples that we may join in the joy of underpriced memories.
That is all, goodnight.

I Laughed...

A very random and very funny picture for a very randomly funny group of friends.

I laughed...so should you.

SMKR PLANS

So, contrary to what you might think, I have been reading smkzone. I ust can't get my blogger to sign me in half the time and so get too frustrated to post. BUT now I am, so all is well with the world.

As Daphne can attest to, I am currently trapped somewhere South or West (or both) of Portland, with my boyfriend's family (but no boyfriend for another two days - the bastard left me for some tracking school in New Jersey...)

We have been getting a lot of German and Austrian and Swiss customers in the store I work in, Rali. I thought that might interest you - I have been trying to keep my Deutsch alive, but it hasn't been working so well...ah well, at least I have something to talk about to the customers as I am ringing them up. They like knowing that I am interested, anyway.

Now on to the real point of this post. As I am sure you are aware, RK and Widge, Daphne and I have bought tickets for you (well, she has and I am paying her back) to come visit ME on the weekend of September 21st and so on. School registration for me is on the 24th, so the scheduling is a little tight, but my parental units have ok'd the notion - we will have room for everyone! And that was basically all I had to say - provided nothing comes up, everything is set for a big smkr bash that weekend! Yay! I finally get to give RK and Widge your wedding presents, your Christmas presents *cough cough, shifty eyes*, and your Ireland gifts! Aren't you excited?
