Blast Ikea

hippybngstockngMy impulse spending would go much better if Ikea would only list things they have in stock... We went there today and finally returned my mom's crap, but came home with no table. I did finally allow myself one indulgence I'd been resisting, this cute little rug that will look silly in my bathroom.
I also picked up a few little clearance items, including these funny twisty orange lamps... We have orange walls, so they work.
But I really wanted this table and I will have to wait an entire month with NO table if this is the table I want, well, unless I want to drive to the US for it, which I don't.
So that means we look for something else... I've become to lazy and busy for shopping anymore, and I'm so damn picky. I almost let myself walk out with this table because it was on clearance for $59, but it's as painfully small as it looks, little better than a card table, so not a long term solution if we ever plan to have guests ever again. Right now we have our laps and the couch, and K has a little plastic kids table. I have plenty of spare doors I could make into a table, if only the dining room would accomodate one :) My kingdom for a table saw... bleargh...
