Everybody look at me, cause I’m sailing on a boat!
Eden and I went to Ikea this weekend to buy me a bed–yes, I am now the proud owner of a bed, and it definitely makes sleeping a whole lot easier. We took the ferry because this is how New Yorkers roll.
The best moment was meeting Irene and her husband, this wonderfully sweet older couple who moved here for a few years already from no other than Dallas. You’d be surprised how many Texans are here, and how many fellow longhorns populate this world. They shared with us their Ikea strategies (yes, they exist) and the funniest lines.
Irene: My daughter got her bed and mattress from Ikea too.
Irene: She needs to fill that bed though. She hasn’t filled that bed in years.
Needless to say, we were cracking up. Irene also called me later and has graciously invited me to Thanksgiving with her family. New Yorkers are so awesome.
On a boat on a boat. fill?
Fill as in get a husband/ long-term boyfriend. LOL
That’s very sweet of them to invite you!
One question: How do you get a bed from IKEA to your apt?!
Such a sweet story! But how does Irene know for sure if that bed is filled? Daughters don’t tell their parents everything…
omg I had to click over here from the BlogHer ad – my bff and I are always trying to be “on a boat!” but I constantly fail. She manages to get on the boat and she always scores as Andy Samberg on those “Are you on a boat?” quizzes.
And yes, NYers are awesome – I’ve made so many instant friends there who just invite you over. Being an Asian chick helps too, we don’t look like mass murderers. (How little they know…)
“Being an Asian chick helps too, we don’t look like mass murderers.”
Lol!
“(How little they know…)”
LOL!! Hey, some of us ARE innocent.
Lol moms definitely don’t know everything haha.
Haha, dare I say I hear a maniacal laugh?
