314-ikea

today, is our trip to the groomers in the suburbs. the dog gets a haircut and missy and i hit wal-mart, etc for our cheap household goods. today, on our agenda was a trip to ikea. normally, i hate this place, but with my new computer i need somewhere to put it. well, if you want cheap, ikea is the place and we happened to be in the neighborhood. we took the suburban streets to ikea and it took us 45 minutes to go ten miles. so, i wonder what is the point of living in the suburbs if you still have to deal with city traffic? anyway we decide to go out of our way and take the interstates back thinking less traffic and higher speed will make up the difference--not if you get on the wrong highway!!! we were all the way to oak park before we figured out our mistake. needless, to say they were waiting for to close and poor little chancey had to pay the price. he looked like they were taking a chunk out of his fur for every minute we were late. next time, we stay away from ikea.
