I'm in the midst's of replacing all the funkified furniture in my apartment, I figured I'm forty now and having bricks and pressboard shelves is just a little too um....how you say...lazy. This Ikea mission was devoted to desks. I needed a new work area for the clay which is collecting dust as of late and I thought a new work table would inspire a burst of creativity. I bought a huge table, a watering can, cool little desk lamp and some area rugs.....all of which are still in the living room unpacked. The shock of shopping in Ikea with all those other people wore me the fuck out. Just knowing that thousands of others were touching the same items I was looking at grossed me out to no end. Also, having Ikea shopping carts and yellow shopping bags shoved into my backside almost brought out a rage like no other, but I didn't want to send my shopping partners over the edge with a sensory laden anxiety attack so I sucked it up and spit out "excuse me's" with cleched jaw by the minute. Everyone was in the "Ikea" zone....shove the kids in the play room and take no prisoners, must buy cheap swedish crap! That they did and so did I and we all saved not 10%, not 20% but, an astonishing 8.8%. Not having the luxury of my usual anxiety attack and public rant about personal space I passed out for three hours when I got home. Shopping is hard. :D
Sunday, I worked, it was dead because here in the Northwest most people don't think to go to the mall when they could be out camping in the rain.
Monday, I tweaked out the current blog template, because change is good and If I were a cat I'd be Bucky from the Get Fuzzy cartoons, moody, sarcastic and just plain lovable, ouch.
And there you have it, my memorial day weekend. After viewing my favorite blogs yesterday morning I found that half of them are on hiatus for the summer or they have a deadline. Some bloggers are having writers block, mindmelts and or have been tapped of all blogging ability. Some just have tremendous hangovers from the three day weekend and may or may not blog again this week or this lifetime. Some bloggers are considering out sourcing their blogs to India. Fear not, I'm not going anywhere...entries may be sporadic....but I'll be here, with my unassembled Ikea items, my pasty white flesh, my dimpled thighs, my books and my spew.
