I've been very anxious about my previous blog posting. My first photo blog and I was hoping it would generate a flood of comments. No such luck. I continue to blog in relative anonymity. Who cares!! The blog must go on.
How many times are we going to go to Ikea?
We were talking last night and on the bright side of things is that we have actually graduated up to Ikea. What I mean is that when we were living in L.A. and buying most of your stuff used from yard sales and such we had heard about Ikea and its low prices. We'll we decided to check it out and "Oh my God!" they call these prices low. $500 for a couch how dare they! At least we have come to realize that this is a very cheap price and with Ikea it can sometimes mean it is very cheaply made too. We do love Ikea but the old saying "buyer beware" needs to be applied liberally when shopping there.
We did finally reach the ultimate goal at Ikea: One hour of free day-care. They have a huge fish bowl area where the kids can play while highly monitored. Anyhow, The Kid managed to lie about her age and act like a 3 year old so she could go in and play. There she was in a 20x20 room filled a foot deep with colored plastic balls. Each ball a carrier of 50 to 100 different strains of the common cold, what could be more gross. The important things is she was safe, she had a blast and she didn't seem to get sick. Thanks Ikea, we'll see you soon, I don't know why but we'll have a reason.

Oh dear! I feel badly that I didn't comment on the first pic--but it was a great blog entry! I even made sure my husband (an occasional blog reader) saw it. It seemed fitting to appear right before memorial day--I mean I know it's a car...but it's also a literal container for memories. We my hub and I gave up Walter--well, it was just good to know that he had a little more good work to do.
Also, I want to comment on a previous blog topic. The Anthony products. I just read an article by one of the Queer Eye Guys who recommended the Anthony products. He recommended stuff for three "types" of guys, those who use no product, those who use some and those who love product. Anthony products were recommended for the second group. I think Tony-C probably fits in that one--what with having a pony tail for so long. Not to turn this into a commercial or anything, but I bought this fancy-smancy shampoo from an all-natural company based in England--and last night my husband and I inadvertantly tested it. He happened to shampoo with the special BIG shampoo and I didn't. We went out with friends to a smoky bar--at the end of the night his hair didn't smell smoky--it had a little citrus smell...my hair on the other hand needed to be immediately washed. Ugh. Anyways, I think this product is worth the hefty price (and shipping). And an added benefit if your name is biG--you already have a shampoo named after you!
Okay, over and out.
