I am experiencing ångst

After I pointed out how decrepit our bookshelves were (these things have survived at least two moves are are close to a decade old) I convinced kshandra that we needed a new set. So tonight we're hitting Ikea.

Which means I'm now agonizing over what to get. I really like the EXPEDIT series stuff. But I keep dithering. My evil plan is to slowly replace all the storage stuff with Expedit stuff so we have an actual look to the living space.

I'm just not good at spending money. I've been poor so long I have developed an ingrained panic switch for spending.

Along with a new bookcase, I'm going to be culling books and games. We have a lot of things that are just gathering dust and need better homes. I may part with my accumulated Hârn stuff; I doubt I'll ever actually use it. That being said, I really wish they'd put out a CD with all the accumulated stuff for us fanatics.

A Møøse once bit my sister..

Ikea has been endured. As my mother pointed out, that place is one big impulse aisle.

Purchased:

1 Expedit bookcase

4 Lekman boxes

1 Alrik office chair

A new wine opener, a new mouse pad, and a box of bag clips.

I think we did well in resisting the urge to buy more things. We had a plan, and we stuck to it. I'm really happy with our restraint.

Assembly will be this weekend.
