Sadly Unimpressed....

Well, IKEA wasn't all everyone says it's cracked up to be. The prices were nice, but the quality, eh, not so hot. I loved/got the fifty cent coffee mugs (for work, of course, as mine only last 2 months before someone breaks them and doesn't fess up), the $14.99 blackboard, magnet board, mail/key holder that will come in handy for writing down my week's schedules a $1.99 bathmat, $3.99 rag rug for the kitchen, and the $6.99 full mirror (can you believe I have been walking out of the house for 2 years without a full lenght mirror?). All in all, $32 spent. Some of the furniture there was veneered, and would show the slightest crappiest scratch. Ick.

I DID splurge on my new work shoes though! Actually, it wasn't really splurging. They were on sale for $41 rather than the posted $60, then (oh oh oh oh!) there was a coupon for 10% off in the little flyers by the checkout! So, work boots were $37! Woot!

So, all in all was a very productive day yesterday. Today is feeling similar, as I scrubbed the hell out of my kitchen stove and did a huge load of dishes from making lasagna last night. The only thing that would have made today PERFECT (as of this moment in time) would have been getting the last season on OZ in the mail today. Guess I'll have to wait until tomorrow...

And on the boasting side: Four weeks on the wagon and counting! The only thing that I truly miss is having a glass of wine with dinner. But I'm hanging in there, just to prove a point (and give my poor liver a well deserved time out)!
