After a lazy morning of bagels, coffee and Bewitched, we decided that we should do something with our Saturday. Should we go on a photo-taking trip? Yeah! Oh, wait, we live in Ireland and the sun that was shining for the past minute as we discussed this plan has just disappeared. How about a movie? Yeah! Oh, wait, there's nothing on that we want to see. Humm. "I know," said Joseph, "let's go to Ikea!" Yeah, yeah yeah! "But, wait," I said, "is this a sponTANeous plan?"
Let me explain - we have had some very bad experiences with spontaneous Saturday plans before. Namely, we get a great idea but either the weather, or the infrastructure, or timing gets in the way and we end up getting cranky with each other because one of our weekend days has been taken up with waiting for a bus, in the rain, for a very long time.
So, it was with some trepidation that we went to Ikea (the traffic! the crowds! the kitchen section!) but it turned out to be a highly enjoyable and productive trip. We got lots of things in the home organization section, which can only mean one thing: that our lives will now run smoothly, in a calm and well-ogranized fashion. Every adult's dream.
