Momma's Making a Roadtrip!

Christmas came early this year.

My DH just recieved his Christmas bonus check today, handed it to me & said "Merry Christmas, you can shop at IKEA with this money."

I've died & gone to heaven.

I'm headed north for Christmas & will be staying within an hour of not just 1 or 2 but 3 IKEA stores! Whatever I can't find at one I'll look for at another.

The timing can't be better, the Winter Sale starts around Christmas Eve. You can safely bet that my ass will be in either the Woodbridge, College Park or Baltimore stores on the 26th . . . just look for the blonde with sheer euphoria on her face.

Now I have to carefully ponder what to bring home. Chances are none of the big ticket items will be on the sale as they normally only reduce prices of items they plan on discontinuing in 2008 (although I DID score 4 sets of Britt curtains at College Park for 99 cents/pair 2 years ago). I doubt Lack coffee tables and Billy bookshelves are going anywhere. And yes, I'm getting them in the yummy black-brown that they are FINALY expanding into the Malm line as well.

I think I'm just going to focus on the living room/den this time. I'd love to start on my Malm set for the master bedroom but Daddy's bonus wasn't THAT much . . .

but tax season is just around the corner . . . hmmmmmmm?
