We went to Ikea yesterday. AMAZING! It was everything I thought it would be. We spent an about $90 more dollars then we planned, but... It's Ikea. Why not splurge? I saw the heart plush when looking at the puppets for our niece and nephews... I picked it up and Brendan asked: "Who is this for?" I replied: "Duh, US!" Figured it would make a cute couch pillow/decoration. Plus, we have this whole red thing going on. Anyway, we replaced quite a few things... mostly kitchenware. And we bought a bathroom rug, kitchen towels and cutting boards. Things I forgot I needed, you know? We were in such a tornado the last month or so I forgot what everyday life needed. Like I haven't had a meal cooked at home since the night before we moved. The kitchen is almost unpacked, so hopefully that'll change this week.
These are my thoughts about the weekends here thus far. We left yesterday to get breakfast, run to the drug store and get a Bkln library card. We ended up getting food, the library card, forgetting about the drugstore and then making a spontaneous trip to Ikea. What should have been a 1.5ish hour errand turned into a 6+ hour long adventure. Because that's what happens when you live in Brooklyn and have nothing to do but unpack. EXPLORE! We did the same thing last Sunday. Went out for food and a metro-card and ended up taking the train in to Grand Central, we walked around for a few minutes and looked around. Got a map, went outside to have a smoke and then decided we were done with Manhattan. Went home and unpacked something.
