Our First Shopping Trip

Sunday morning started with a trip to IKEA and Home Depot with Nate.

We picked up two desks at IKEA. One for each office. Unfortunately Nate’s desk, a large corner unit, would not fit in the car so we had to tie to the top of my little green civic.

We tied it as tight as possible and I kept my hand on the ropes as we drove off to Home Depot for new paint roller covers.

I had started painting with a 3/8 inch nap roller cover and it was taking forever to cover the walls with primer! Luckily, the Home Depot guy suggested I use a 1/2 inch nap roller cover which will hold more paint and make it easier to cover the texture and groves in concrete block walls.

Note to self, make sure to ask questions of the experts BEFORE I purchase supplies next time!

We were a little worried to get on the freeway with our desk tied to the roof, but we took it slow with our hazards on and safely made it home. I think we will be borrowing a bigger car next time we head to IKEA.
