Heaven is 400,000 sq ft and painted blue...

Or so it seems if you are sporting a XX chromosome.

So it has ben almost a year and a half since I first mentioned our new house. In that little blurb I joked about how Shannon wanted to go to Bed, Bath & Beyond and IKEA. Well yesterday I caved and we went to both - and a couple more. Now Jay Leno claims IKEA is Swedish for 'junk", but I came home and Googled it and come to find out it is Swedish for 'man torture". Did you know their motto is "IKEA - Helping woman oppress men since 1958".

If you have not been to one of these stores, but it looks like one is in your future I suggest you have the Mrs. check you into the little jungle playroom, order some "room-service" from the little cafeteria place, and settle in because you're gonna be there for awhile.

When I got the idea of taking her there I had no idea it was a three hour process to decide between a blue duvet cover or a red duvet cover. I didn't know it was like Who Wants to be a Millionare, and she was going to have to use her life line. Caiti - help a brother out and answer the phone next time. I learned duvets are a major commitment, but honestly I am not even sure what a duvet cover is. And as I would like to have this question answered more importantly I would like for someone to explain to me why everything I purchased yesterday from this Swedish store was manufactured in China or Mexico.
