Sailor Soldier of Love and Justice

Yesterday Ben and I went exploring. Yes, that is what we are going to call it.

First we went to Target. It was the most depressing Target I had ever been to. I think that was because they weren't playing any music at all. The only sounds I could hear were families fighting with each other. It was pretty creepy. But anyway, we got a bunch of things we needed for the apartment, like an iron, and got out of there as soon as possible. I had looked at furniture there, but it was too expensive.

After that, we ate lunch nearby at Chipotle. That would have been a less scary adventure if I could understand what the person there was saying. Partly her accent, and partly my increasing difficulty to hear individual voices in crowds. (I can thank mom for that one.)

Then began our real adventure! I wanted to go to Target for a dresser. More than anything, I wanted a dresser. I wanted a dresser so badly that I was willing to drive billions of miles for one.

So we accidentally got on the road in the wrong direction. There was a toll, and no way to turn around. The toll was nearly $3!!! I didn't want to pay that twice, so I directed ben to find us another way to get to where we wanted to go. We ended on these crazy little roads in redneck country. However, I'd like to point out that they were rednecks that recycle.

After buying a map, and cheap gas, we found civilization again and eventually made it to Ikea. They were sold out of the dresser I liked. And I didn't make a list of alternates. And the store was closing. *sob*

We did buy a bookcase, at least, which we really needed. They were also sold out of cheap tables. Bah, no sewing for me. We are going to either go back today and find alternates for everything, or maybe try back next week.

The ride home was kinda scary because I hadn't had anything to eat in a long time, was tired, and had a book case box blocking my rear window. But we made it home and had dinner and passed out because I was SO tired. And dresserless.

Curse you universe! All I wanted was a dresser!!!
