Just Like (a) Human

I’m strangely excited by the fact that we’ll have an Ikea in my city that opens in a couple of days. I didn’t take off opening day because I know that people will have that place packed to the gills so they can shop there, but at the same time, I know I will visit it at least once.

The excitement that comes with a place like this arriving in my area is making me tingle with delight all down my spine. I want to walk around and see what I can afford in there, and what I might set a goal for on Furnish Our Apartment. Since we haven’t done much with Furnish Our Apartment recently, it’d be a nice refresh, so to speak.

Maybe then, I can finally have something not so straight-backed as a dinner table to sit in my living room on.

I’m sitting at work, waiting for another caller to come in with an issue, and thinking about how I want to go home and try to make doughnuts, or bake a cake.

I had seen an entry on Instructables that detailed how to make ‘easy doughnuts’ from premade biscuits, which I liked, but they just weren’t doughnutty enough for me. I decided I would try it once. I would find out how to make my own doughnuts, and try it.

As a result, I’m looking for recipes on making doughnuts now, and looking for the few recipes that might come out great. I’m also realizing that I need to get some mixing bowls if I’m going to make anything of substance while I’m in my kitchen.

Maybe I should add that as a goal on Furnish Our Apartment…

Since we moved, Steve and I came up with a brilliant idea for a site that I’ve spent the last week getting up and running.

I still need to work on a theme for it, but it’s up and running at least: http://furnishourapartment.com/ - Our site to raise funds for real furniture for our apartment. Feel free to take a look.
