ikea bound

(ikea charlotte in its infancy -- look at that sky!)

considering north carolina seems to be the mecca of all things furniture, it is only appropriate that ikea has finally joined in on the action. we, along with our friends will and jennifer, will be making the 2.5 hour trek to get some swedish goodness for our nests. yesterday was opening day to the tune of over 3000 people before noon and exits off of the interstate completely blocked off.

wish us luck.

this economy couldn't manage to keep their grubby hands off of my other favorite... i am completely and utterly devastated.
















song of the day: the wannadies, you and me song (oh the irony)

good ol' north carolina snow

we woke up this morning to about 3 inches of snow... and it is still coming down! we took frank (the beagle) outside this morning to "do outside" and he loved being in it. we don't have a fenced yard, but our friends (and neighbors) jerry & andrea do, so we might have to take frank over to their house later to frolic in the snow with his buddy, krusty -- who was outside first thing this morning playing.

yes, please
