Breaking Mofo News!

After weeks and weeks--and, ok, months--of sleeping on the floor/foam/mattress pad, I got a bed!! Thank god. It only took two trips to Ikea and three mind changes before I settled on das Aspelund (which sounds kind of dirty, but I likey anyway). Here's how it went down.

1. After weeks of begging and pleading and convincing Cody that a trip to Ikea wouldn't be that bad, he caves/graciously "grants me permission" and we head to Woodbridge on a Saturday afternoon. Along with everyone else in Northern Virginia.

2. I went into the whole deal saying, eff it--I'm buying the cheapest piece of crap I can find ($49) and putting it under my mattress and calling it a day.

3. We find said 'cheapest piece of crap,' and unfortunately that's exactly what it was. I change my mind and decide to upgrade to the next-cheapest piece of crap. 

4. Enter Aspelund.

 

It's pretty cute, right?? Plus, I'm pumped because it's faux wood so I'm like, duh, I can paint that shit and life will be grand. 

So.

5. We go downstairs to buy this thing and it won't fit in my car. Eff my life eff my life eff my life. 

6. Frustration abounds, plus we're hungry, so we give up in mild defeat and hit up Red Robin where we're served by a lady I know was high on meth and/or crack.

Fast forward to last night!! I get off work! My knight in shining armour comes riding up on his CRV ready.to.go!

We drive back to Ikea. We go inside. We (quickly) browse the other beds just to make sure this is the one I want. It is. We go downstairs. I smash my finger in the process of purchasing. I don't care. We load it in the CRV and it fits! It fits!

Now, this whole time I've been all, 'what if we can't put it together,' 'the instructions don't have any words on them,' 'I'm incompetent,' 'I can hardly build a PBJ sandwich.' Obvi, these were stupid thoughts because WE CONQUERED IKEA BOOYAHHH and set this beeha up just in time for bed and it is looking good.

Here is my bedspread (this isn't my bed, duh, just a little visual action for you. Real pics to follow later..?maybe.)

So in conclusion, may I please remind you that it does not say RSVP on the Statue of Liberty! Woah, just joking.


But seriously, in conclusion, I'm so pumped to no longer be sleeping on the floor like the sketchy fool I am but instead to have this cutie to slumber in for the rest of the year. Thanks Cody, you're the best, duh!
