As some of you may know, some Ikeas have a bus that operates from the nearest subway station. Somehow, this became exciting - like Disneyland exciting- and I had to go. I had many visions of the Ikea bus - was it blue and quirky? Was it full of comfy Poang chairs instead of regular bus seats?
Sadly, no. It was a regular mini-coach type bus, that didn't even have Ikea written on it, just a printed out sign on the window. And then I got on and was all excited because there was a TV onboard - does this mean we get to watch commercials? Ikea has some hilarious banned commercials. But no, no tv was played. It was a speedy trip, and I found a few things for the flat, and got to ride the not-so-magical Ikea bus back to the subway.
Jen and I went to Ikea again this week, to order our bitchin' bookshelves. They are supercool. We also bought a bunch of other stuff (yay two carts!) and had some guys do some heavy lifting for us. Then we arranged for our bookshelves/dressers/organizer stuff to be delivered, which is way cheaper (like half the price) if you do it in store versus ordering the same thing on the internet and having it delivered. The only catch is is that the delivery is next day only, pretty much. You can't buy something on Tuesday and have it delivered on Saturday. Plus our delivery was supposed to come between 5-9 pm last night, but the guy was there at 4:50 and cranky. Ah well, our sweet new stuff is here. Now, to put it all together...
Oh, and we also had 50 cent hot dogs, which amused me. Ikea has everything.

Hi Sienna! My name's Angelica and I've got a blog also named Paperback Princess, I write book reviews.
Anyhow, I noticed that your blog has been inactive for quite sometime so I was wondering if you would be willing to transfer your current blogspot address to me?
Looking forward to hearing from you soon.
