You're welcome

It's going to be tough to stay OP this weekend

First we are going to Ikea's midnight madness sale where they are supposed to be serving refreshments and they also have the lovely Ikea cafe there -must avoid eating meatball dinner and the almond tarts!

Then we are going to a Rib Festival on Saturday night where there will be tons of BBQ meat and the only vegetables there will be baked beans and coleslaw.

Sigh...give me strength oh Godess of slimming!

Sigh! Sometimes I am sorry we ever left the city.
Oh, well, the local market has ribs on special so we may do our very own ribfest. Harry made coleslaw yesterday so that part is easy. A Coleslaw Festival? Naw - has to be ribs too.

Good luck finding a parking spot... that's all I have to say! It's ALWAYS crazy there... should be worse than ever tonight. I'll think we'll just head straight for the far parking lot and get in an extra walk. I hate circling... circling...
okay. Swedish meatball section. Right beside the bread and butter. And Swedish desserts.

Yeah, I hate trying to find a spot there. We usually park further away and walk to. I think it is dumb to drive around for 45 minutes looking for the primo spot by the door when you could just park further away and be insid the store in 5 minutes - that's an extra 40 minutes of shopping you could be doing!

....mmm...and those thin ginger cookies

After your doctor appointment, drive up to Ottawa and you can go to IKEA with us. Naturally we will not eat a thing.

Hey, Den! I'll meet you there. We will sleep in our cars overnight and then go for a Dim Sum breakfast!
I can dream, can't I?
