It's Ikea Day today. Not like an official day with a parade or anything but just a day where I decide to drive down to Palo Alto (it's actually East Palo Alto - but I drop the East cuz it's kinda ghetto) to roam around Ikea. I actually went specifically to buy a pot and frying pan. I got out of there with said pot and pan and a bath mat. I picked up numerous things and then put back numerous things. It's good that Ikea is big enough where by the time you walk around, you are able to talk yourself out of most of your impulse buys. Otherwise I would have bought a napkin holder, a stainless steel mixing bowl, a blanket, and an LED lightbulb. Oh ok - I did buy a dark chocolate bar for $1. It's dark chocolate, so it's practically like a health supplement.
Then I went to afternoon tea at this place on Irving where you can get a small bowl of beef stew ho fun for $2.75 and then an iced lemon tea for $1.35. I also went and bought some buns that were three for a dollar. I love Chinese bargains!
But after I came home, I got a letter from the government. It says I owe them money (lotsa money!). I was like, what???!!! Of course it's got to be a mistake. A mistake on their part and not mine. Hopefully. I am looking into now.
I knew I shouldn't have splurged on that iced lemon tea!
