Today we bought the pieces and parts to assemble our two wardrobes. In addition to really needing a little more storage, I was most anxious to get my clothes out of the other closet and into our bedroom. We planned to pick up the U Haul cargo van about 9 AM and get to Ikea when they opened at 10. Ha.
U Haul took 45 minutes alone. The reservation system isn't the best and the people manning the desk were all fairly new. That meant we didn't get to Ikea until 10:30. Fortunately no one else got moving early so we were able to knock off the items on our list and head to the check out. Ouch.
Would you care to guess how much we "stimulated" the economy today? We dropped almost $1300. That got us a lidded basket for storing cat toys and litter supplies, a small trash can for outside to hold the used litter offerings, a cat toy (more about that later), an office storage cart for Kent, and of course all the pieces for our new wardrobes.
Getting home was fine, even though that cargo van turned like a semi--well really, that's probably insulting to semis everywhere. But we got home, unloaded everything and headed off to turn in the van. This time the reservation system was entirely down, and so the process took another 45 minutes. Ultimately we didn't start putting everything together until 2 PM.
Of course the cats were all very interested in the packages. I'm not sure if I've mentioned before how very much Eddie likes to eat cardboard. While dark, I think you can still see what he's doing here in this video. He does this with every cardboard box he runs across. I wonder if a veterinary school would be interested in researching how strange my cats are.

Okay, gotta love the series of pictures reflecting your progress. Kent looks like he's having the time of his life. Cat help is required to get a job done properly, of course.
*cheers the beautifully organized wardrobes*
And to answer your question, my husbands says yes, a man does need that many socks.
