Yes, I'm a Bad Blogger

Yes, it turns out that I'm a bad blogger. I would like to post more often, but most of the news at our house lately has not been that uplifting.

However, I can share a quick tidbit from my life this past week before I go pass out on the couch. (Yes, at 9:30. That's how exciting my life is.)

I had my first craigslist experience this week. I can't say I'm sold on the experience. I bought an IKEA loft for Little K. (As an aside, I had to pick it up close to where the husband works, which is quite a hike, so the kids and I met him for lunch for the first time ever.) Now, the guy I bought it from assured me that all the parts and hardware were there, just missing the instructions. So when I got home, I went out to IKEA's website and was able to download the instructions (very handy) so that I could do an inventory. Well, what do you know, several of the hardware pieces were missing. Some of them, the husband informed me, would be impossible to find in a hardware store, making the loft unusable. So I took myself down to IKEA at about 8:30 at night, where the very nice person at the service desk filled a little baggie with all the missing hardware. I almost cried. I've read all sorts of nasty things about IKEA on the internet, but I've never found them to be anything but helpful.

Alls well that ends well.
