In-laws and Ikea instructions

Justins parents left yesterday morning at the same time we were leaving for class. We had a good time together this weekend. Lets see, the arrived on Friday around 3 despite the nasty driving conditions. They said from Alexandria to about Fergus Falls they saw 40 cars in the ditch and a tipped over semi that was about 100 feet off the interstate. We just hung about the apartment and went out to eat at Old Chicago. Saturday, Justin had to work until 3. Dana was invited by Dad to go the dogsled races that dad helps his brother compete in. So that just left Debbi and I to out favorite pastime..shopping! We picked Justin up at work during his lunch break and we went to Qudoba, yummy! Debbi and I then went to Gordmans were I got a cute pair of Sketchers and an Ansel Adams poster to put above our bed. Then I took her downtown to my favorite coffee shop, Babbs. I love it so because it's a Seattle theme with a huge mural of the Farmers Market sign on the wall across from the counter. They also display local artists work for sale and have live music during the evenings. We had such a good time there talking.
Justin called around 1 to say they let him go home early. We went home and Dana soon came home and told us about the races. We went to eat at a restaurant in the mall, and went to Herbergers to check out the clothes/shoes. Debbi and I both left with a pair of shoes.
Sunday, justin worked until 5. Debbi, Dana and I went antique shopping, we all found something we wanted but of course everything we wanted was very expensive.
All the while this was going on, Justin and I had been working on my desk. Ilove Ikea, but I had forgotten the pain of putting together items with their picture directions. Man, what a pain! Even more annoying, we are two hardware pieces short, so I cannot put up the last shelf. Justin called Ikea and ordered the two pieces and they will here in about a week.
So Dana and Debbi left yesterday morning, they wouldn't let me pay for the desk, which was not my intentions at all plus some money. Well back to the usual school/work life for me.

I'm glad to know you took my advice and hit them up for all their worth...LOL...no, but for reals, sounds like you had an awesome weekend. Too bad your husband cant say the same, huh?

Yeah, the picture instructions are nice but it was just frusterating how none of the boards where labeled so we had to go by the position of the holes on the boards.
