IKEA anxiety...real or imagined?

Feb 13, 2007 16:27

I'm an IKEA virgin.

While I love looking through the catalogue, I have an immense fear of being absolutely overwhelmed about setting foot in the store.

However, major home improvement necessitates the trip, so I'm planning my maiden voyage for Friday.

I mentioned this to a friend who said, "Be sure to wear comfy shoes...oh, and bring water! And you should definitely take a break a few hours in...stop and have the meatballs. Then you can review your list. Oh! And bring a camera!"

Dear lord, am I hiking through Europe?

I need water? Really?

And this was just supposed to be a "fact finding" mission.

Maybe I should fill my surgical prescription before hand and start taking the percocet now?!

Anyway...I think I'll be ok in IKEA. It's the store of my mother's people...the Swedes! I'm absolutely going to have the meatballs...and maybe pick up a little wooden horse or two, while I'm at it.

I'll report back...with photos!!!
