Spare me is worth half as much as strike me

[elemess]

OK, now I'm obsessing about this.

On Saturday, I visited Big Lots, Storehouse Furniture, and a couple of other places looking for bookcases for the spare room. Big Lots had no furniture whatsoever. This became even more annoying last night when I saw a Big Lots TV commercial trumpeting their fantastic sale on bookcases. Bastards

I do not mean to laugh at your misfortune, but your IKEA karma is kinda funny. :)

We used Billy units to build our platform bed, and they had a million of them in stock (although we got the light wood, so a different color might be different). I'm baffled at how they ran out of those, especially since they know they're so popular and ought to ALWAYS have them.

I have to go to IKEA this weekend too, and I don't know if they have what I need either. If you see me wandering around looking glazed, steer me to the exit.

Yes - I need to kleanse my IKEA karma.

Part of my Plan is to look for both the white and cheapest faux wood versions. If they have more of the latter, I'll try and pitch enough of a bitch that they'll give me the faux wood for the white price. I don't understand why they wouldn't have enough stock of the cheapest version of their most popular style.

Finding the exit is easy. Just follow the arrows in the direction the highly organized Swedes want you to go. There's only one way in and one way out. It's creepy that way.

Its not anywhere you can't find it.

And life is what happens when you're busy making other plans.

Its gonna get worse if you wait too long.

Billy calls me. Billy haunts me. I want Billy.

Larry, I'm starting to worry about you.

I worry about me, too. I've already started coming up with different names for each 'case. William the Bloody. Mr Joel. Billie Jean.
