The Ikea delivery people came by today with my new bedroom set. I'm always impressed with the quality, workmanship and value of Ikea products, although we sorta screwed the pooch today.
Problem one: wrong tools. My dad gave away all of this tools before we moved to Texas, so despite being especially "user friendly", I still can't put together my dresser or nightstand -- as they both require a flathed screw driver.
Also, we forgot to buy a critical piece for the bed: the midbeam. Ikea has a funny system where you need to buy each piece of your large item separately. Well, we forgot it, which means no bed for me until later this week at the earliest. On the plus side, though, they did deliver the mattress, and I must say very comfortable, even if I'm just sleeping on the floor with it. Funny how us Swedes can make a bad situation tolerable.
In other news, I want to try some local Kolaches. Alot of Czechs moved to Texas in the past two centuries, and they brought their signature pastries with them. I've never had one (although I suspect that they'll be surprisingly similar to the "Danishes" that I grew up with), but they're supposedly a little different and very good. I'll try them out and report back.
