And here I thought my fear and loathing of IKEA was mine and mine alone.
First of all I haven't even finished this entry all the way through and yet I feel compelled to comment. I don't know why buying a couch is such a freakin' big deal, but it truly is a life and death issue. It's a RELATIONSHIP man/woman issue. Screw handbag and shoe comparisons... a couch is where you'll be parking your butt and having clever conversations and ugly confrontations for the rest of your young life with this man.
I remain enlightened by the couch space vs. room space observation on the part of Mr. Jenner. 100 more awesome points to him for clearing this up for all of us.
D. and I have gone couch and chair shopping many times. The last time I almost left in tears. I fell hopelessly in love with a chair I could never afford unless I bought just one and sat in it every day for a hundred years eschewing all other furniture and selling everything I own on e-Bay.
IKEA couches completely baffled me. Some of them were so odd and uncomfortable they about threw our asses out of them before we even sat down. "How about this one?" *sit* "No." "What this one?" *sit* "Ugh! NO!"
You are a brave, brave couple. Kudos to you in your steamy butticular victories!
This Entry Rules, Yo!
