Officially, 8:12 pm pt saturday night .. i start this blog.
tonight i have a mission: me vs ikea stuff (en mass)
busy day, shelving , then tennis then hours at Ikea where i became a giddy shopper lost in a sea of much needed house stuff! ... so i bought.. perhaps bought a little more & had a hot dog. .. But nothing is free and now i pay the price for my untempered buying actions. All the pretty little furniture in the store, so cute and functional, so ready to serve it's purpose ..... is in my apt. packed flat, uncute in cardboard boxes. It is time to assemble! .... perhaps i don't have to finish all tonight? ... i ask myself.. but no, you must! as moving is a never ending process.. and there is still more new stuff to deal with tomorrow :( ...
so now officially 8:17 ... i begin.. oh one plus, patio table done! first assembled after carrying all the stuff upstairs, so i could enjoy my beer & yellow curry on the patio. .... updates to come....
....do do doo... some time passess..
officially, 9:32 pm ... one desk .. assembled! phew.
i thought it might take longer.. first sawhorse leg threw me for a loop.. but i figured it out.. second one a snap.. .. hands a little sore.. ... time for another beer
...start of bathroom tall shelvy unit.. uh oh i see dowels ....

....... officially, 10:09 pm.. one bathroom shelvy unit.. assembled! ... and very cute i might add.

..Officially 10:48 pm .. one step stool.. assembled... ... don't laugh.. that was the worst :( ...
- but i can reach the ceiling lights now! go fluorescents..
..
..next.... ... music selection : Kid rock - all summer long
..
.. 10:59 .. little bathroom shelf.. assembled....
hands red :(
well folks.. that's all for now..
..
..... things i've learned:
- i like stuff.. much more than i like assembling stuff
-crooked floors are a bit annoying as u place the screws out according to the ikea diagram and they roll away
-i really like that song all summer long.. i could play it again.. and again... and ....
perhaps that's not the best way to start off with new neighbors
- there's a leak in the kitchen :( .. probably the fridge.. i need to investigate

Yeah, we're not gonna talk about how long it took me to get that damned stool together. First it was backward, then upside down, then the little cross pieces kept turning the wrong way... Ikea stuff is evil. Especially those stupid little allen wrenches that do NOTHING.
Yesterday was fun. We should do it again sometime.
