Day 54: Living the high life in Paramus, NJ.

Today was a grand day. Today I went to IKEA.

Earlier we had gone to the Elizabeth IKEA, which has only 3% tax, but is rather jammed full of people and correspondingly understocked. It's closer, so we were going to go there again this time, except there was some kind of toxic chemical spill right in the parking lot, so er, we changed our plans.

The Paramus IKEA is new and shiny and big and not as many people go to it, so we had a grand, rampagey, relaxed time. Mostly we were relaxed since we just bought everything in sight, but hey. I spent rather a lot of time diving into tall barrels of as-is stuff and came out victorious with some sheets and a pillow and a picnic cloth and such things. And I discovered the joy of the IKEA kids' meal, pictured above. A tiny bowl of overcooked mac'n'cheese and a little drink for 99c! And there's not even a height requirement like the one that keeps me out of the ballroom. Life doesn't get any classier than this, let me tell you.
