Bedroom In A Box

did you know that you can get almost more boxed furniture from IKEA into a suburban than a small dorm style room can hold? Yeah...it's the truth. DD #2 is ALMOST moved into the Zeta house. Brooke and I took her new furniture down to her yesterday and got it all put together. OMG, instructions with only pictures and no words drive me crazy. We got it all moved in and put together no thanks to a boyfriend who had to work and an older sister who took an allergy pill that knocked her out when she couldn't find her bottle of Claritan.... good planning Chris and Val! Not that there would have been room for any more people in that room anyway really. Most of the time it was only one of us working on putting something together anyway. We found none of us work together that well where assembling furniture is concerned. We did get the boy to carry up the refrigerator after dinner, he'll also move over the TV and he promised he would put her shelf up today...I should call and ask her if he got that done....lol... when he told her he would do it she came right out and asked him if he was only saying that because I was there. Oh, she's got his number for sure. We've also discovered when discussing "moving"( helping) that his hearing is very selective. This time last year she had to go hunt him down at a fraternity recruitment party because he "forgot" ...he also was forgetting to answer his phone. This year she knows him much better though PLUS his car is in the body shop so he's fairly dependent on her for transportation. LOL
