The destroyer of all relationships – Ikea. Luckily for us, I just had to carry it up to your room 🙂 I could swear that there was a mischevious glee when you said you wanted to put it all together. Girl, be gentle with it LOL.
We had talked about how you like pork belly, so i figured i let you pick if you wanted to try something properly asian or go with the traditional bbq.
I am glad you picked the Asian route just cause now I got to introduce you to ramen as well. 🙂 Might as well introduce you to as many things while I can. I am glad you like the fried chicken along with it too, and the pork belly bao (buns).
(for the public, pictures of Hope destroying her lunch is in the gallery below.)
After lunch, it was a quick hop over to Ikea to pick up a work desk, dressor and a cabinet for your room. I really wonder how everything will look like when you are done. I admit it was rather fun smashing your old dresser to bits. 🙂
It was getting late and we decided to stay the night at a quirky little hotel (Hotel Royal Oak) near where our reservation was. We had a relaxing walk to Dixie Moon Saloon for a quick drink before the next stop inside a freezer 🙂
I think things got rough after we polished off the tacos and fries and a few more rounds of well shots. However, you do seem totally fine shooting at bad guys on the screen. I think i heard a record amount of profanity that even I had to laugh. I had a lot of fun with you.
You passed quickly after we got back to the hotel… rough night for you. *hugs* i do hope you are feeling better by now. Now the wait begins again for me… until thursday.

All I can say is.. I will never be able to eat the cheap packaged ramen again. This is going to make the rest of my college life tough 😉
On the other hand, my new desk/room set up will make the rest of my college life AMAZING!!!! (BTW, I did almost break a few things while putting it together… I realized quickly I needed to be gentle with it lolol).
I was so happy to finally go to an ikea, and WOAH I could really get lost in there. So much to look at. Like the lights that expand to let more light out. How crazy that this light that was so entertaining to me was in our hotel room!!
It was hard for me to not start banging on the drums that we got the picture with. Thankfully it was early on in the day or else I might’ve totally ignored the bar manager telling me I could get up there for a pic if I didn’t try to start playing them…
I think the freezer door was the coolest entry to a hidden spot at this point..
I definitely enjoyed the small complementary teaser (was it potatoes? with caviar – I can’t recall due to the amount of liquor ingested beforehand :P).
(my camera definitely sucks, picture taking skills are questionable)
As for the profanity during the shooting game, THAT SHIT WAS INTENSE. I tend to blurt out only curse words when in those moments. Even though I was only yelling out bad words (to the point where I got called out for it by a guy near us…), I haven’t had that much fun playing a game in a while.
Anyways, Eddie introduced me to multiple new things (as always) in just one day.
I don’t know how he does it, but he could make a career just out of showing someone a good time.
I had such an amazing time as always. 🙂
