Oh my legs! And my feet!
We joined in the thousands of shoppers in a frenzy today. I know, it wasn’t the smartest thing to do. My brother’s family lives in a smaller city and they don’t have a Costco, nor do they have an IKEA, and they’ll be leaving tomorrow, so we took them to those stores for a look-see.
As one can never just do a look-see at IKEA, we were there for an ungodly 5 hours. FIVE HOURS. Granted, they just moved to a new house and need to get stuff; also this particular IKEA just have the worst floor plan ever. Seriously. The store is in the shape of an H, there’s only one set of elevators and only one bathroom on each floor and it is near the elevator. So if you’re in one corner of the H and you have a toddler who needs to go, good luck. Also, because of the layout, one must go round and round in a super maze just to get that one item. Anyhow, five HOURS is still a long time. Now our legs and feet are suffering.
I’m going to have some IKEA lingonberry cheesecake as a reward. Mmm.

Glad to hear that the scary experience this Black Friday was only mildly scary!

I have never been to IKEA but I hear wonderful things about it, and knowing me, I would love it! I got a tiny bit of shopping done yesterday too.
