1.) You never get too old to be experience secondhand embarrassment via a parent. My mom and her boyfriend kept on jokingly threatening to take a nap in the numerous chairs and beds there. And I was all NOOOOOOOOO since my mom falls asleep super fast and is a LOUD snorer and omg all the people there!
Then later on at the kitchen section Mom's Boyfriend stood at the oven in one display and Mom at another across the aisle and were all "HEY WHAT DO YOU WANT FOR BREAKFAST?" "PORK CHOPS!" "OKAY LET'S MAKE PORK CHOPS!" and wouldn't stfu about pork chops. omg I don't know you loud people, let me jam myself into one of these kitchen cabinets please.

2.) Like 5 or so years ago I bought two of Ikea's
Expedit shelving units; one that has 20 cubby holes, and another that has 25. I'd grown increasingly unsatisfied with them since they are fairly ineffective at holding my book collection. They look
nice here, but now that I have much more books the width of the cubby holes is a pain when it comes to book organization. But! The Ikea trip and seeing how they used the Expedit shelves in their room displays really helped me like them again. I had planned on keeping the smaller one and getting rid of the bigger one, but now I'm keeping both and
buying inserts that allow the cubbies to have doors or turn into drawers.
