This first picture is of my friend, Gloria. She is in the cafeteria at Ikea. Gloria takes care of the dead bodies for me. It seems I am able to drop a book on a palmetto bug (aka Giant Roach) and crush it to death but I am unable to dispose of the body. Now that's a good friend. A Super Duper Good Friend!

So, we had such a good time at Ikea in Miami. I borrowed Connie's pick-up (thank you girlfriend!) and this is what I came home with. Two ginormous boxes and yes it was a challenge getting them from the truck into the living room but I was determined.

Took me all day but here is what I ended up with. And not one single screw was left over. I am quite satisfied with myself.
