I really like Ikea. Smart designs with space and money on the mind. I had their $1.99 breakfast today (they have a .99 breakfast too!). It was a little gross, mostly the eggs, but for 1.99, I could eat it.

Ikea’s been having a sale for the past month and today I was looking for mattress covers. Mine is kind of old…and has some…err…blood stains that just didn’t wash out. Their covers are so cheap anyway, mine was $2.99 and it held up through washings for the past 4 years. So I went and they had a sale on the collection of bed covers that is one up from the cheapo collection I have. For 2 bucks more, I get 80 more thread count and a finer cotton. Score! They didn’t have the light pink I used to have…just a maroon color but that’s okay. Adds drama to my room right?

I also saw these cuuuute alligators! Alligator? Crocodile? Eh, I look it up and identify it, and then I always end up forgetting later on. Meh, I’m sure they don’t care what you call them as long as you won’t skin them. I like long stuffed animals for some reason. I feel like I can drag it around with me like Linus from peanuts. I also like it when animals drag stuff around with them, like dogs that get attached to their toy and carry it with them where-ever they go? Too cute.

Reminds me, my friend has a cute jack-russell terrier named Stitch and recently they got him a stuffed pizza to play with. He loves it so much he feels like he must go to sleep with it at night! Once I took the pizza away from him and hid it behind my back. When he rushed over to my back I kept hiding it on the opposite side of me. At one point, he looked at me with frantic eyes and whined at me! A weird sound for a good 5 seconds…like the kind a seal makes as if he was saying “hey you! I don’t want to joke around anymore! Where is it?!?” The skin above his eyes were all furrowed. Oh…how can torture be so cute?

I’ve been eyeing this canvas poster for a veeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeery long time. It says it’s on sale…but that’s the same price I’ve always remembered it to be. It’s $79.99…a bit pricey for art on my small, bare walls. So instead, I took a picture and I am going to edit it for my purposes > <. It’s not like this artist drew it anyway…probably chopped it from the production poster. My results in the following post about it.
