I know, I know. I've been quiet lately. No good reason, really. Sick of myself? Sick of school? Needing of an extreme soul makeover? Ok, I'm not really full of existential angst; I just come across that way sometimes.
I spent some quality time shopping on the IKEA web site this morning. Why oh why don't we have one here?! I spent about $400 in my head, and my house looks better already. Just wait, you big blue and yellow box, my oversized piece of heaven, purveyor of lingonberries and all things Swedish. I am coming for you.
Ok, so I know too much retail therapy will land me on Oprah and/or Dr. Phil, but it just feels so good. If only I could give myself this kind of makeover: blow a few hundred bucks, go eat some meatballs in the cafeteria, overload the car, spend several hours cursing and sweating as I put some furniture together, and presto/chango new self!
Now I know this seems like I'm crying for a spiritual awakening. Perhaps I should go read that Eckhart Tolle book that Costco has in boxloads. Except that I've never been one for New Age self-improvement. No, in my case I decided to change my blog colors, a la HGTV, to make myself feel better. A little interior decorating if you will. Maybe I'll actually rearrange the furniture one of these days and pick a new format. If Blogger HAD a template that looked like an IKEA store I'd pick it. In the meantime, I'll keep churning these muddled thoughts around in my head and try to be more diligent about sharing them.

Costco probably has the Tolle book because of the Oprah thing on it. I read it a while back. I'm a little surprised about the categorization of New Age. It really just takes a look at operating from higher principles (Higher Self, Spirit, whatever) as opposed to living from the ego. I don't know, maybe that is New Agey.
I do like the new look! It's very stylish. Ekhart might say you're looking outside yourself to change your inner feeling, but I think it's a good reflection of your desire to have a change of pace. And there ain't nothin' wrong with that!
I've missed your posts! Welcome back. Your Mortgage Partner has been pretty quiet too. Is he following Barak state to state, groupie style? Say hi to the cats and dog.
i heard a rumor they're trying to get an IKEA at the Legends. Cross your fingers!
