O MyIkea!

     Today I embarked on the journey that is Ikea.  It was nothing like I expected.  I've always heard, "They design Ikea in a maze so you can't get out!" or "You always spend 5 hours in Ikea, it's horrible." Well that was not my Ikea experience.  It was wonderful
     I went and got my Visa this morning (Woohoo, I'm legal!) and then we were going to go to Ikea.  There was a car crash on the Autobahn, so we went home and hung out for a while, why do it in traffic? Then finally we embarked for Ikea.
     It's only about 35 minutes away.  Eventually I saw it looming in the distance, the GIANT blue mecca of fashionable furniture. We got nice close parking and went in.  We waited to eat till we got there.  I wasn't totally sure why, but I soon realized.  They have a cafeteria in Ikea!!  But it's like good, real food.  I had a pancake filled with some sort of gravy substance.  Then we got to the good stuff, shopping.
      I want to live in Ikea.  Everything is so pretty.  They have little faux-houses that are prefect.  Yes Ikea is in a maze style, but there are maps, and you can't really get lost. It is wonderful.  If I ever get married everything in my house is coming from Ikea, seriously. The even have a Garden department.  I miss my cactus back home, so I bought myself one. It's very cute.  I like cacti because I can't kill them.  Seeing as I'm terrible with plans, yet I love them so much.
     The nursery section of Ikea makes me want to have a baby so much.  I think Ikea in general makes me want to have a family. I feel like lately I've been thinking a lot along the lines of I just want to start my life already.  I need to remember I'm young, and to go have some fun.
     On our way home we go suck in car crash traffic.  It was the most epic car crash I have ever seen.  There was a dump-truck that had it's bin up, and the bin got caught on one of the HUGE signs that cross the entire road.  It ripped the sign out of its foundation, I didn't think that was possible. A lot of traffic was stuck there until the sign and truck got craned off the road.  We luckily got there late enough that the traffic had already been re-routed, so we just got stuck in the slowness.

That is what the truck ripped out of the ground.  I wonder how fast it was going?

My new best friend.
