The Good:{Finally} biting the bullet and going to IKEA to exchange the extra dresser pieces - which meant a ride on the MAX. And a ride on the MAX = a happy Justin!
We also randomly ran into Julie {roommate} and her boyfriend at YoCream Frozen Yogurt, which was a fun coincidence.
The BAD:It took forever at the exchange counter! They were nice about it all and the process was easy, but the wait left Justin and I feeling a little impatient. Then on the drive home {at 9:00 pm} they were merging 3 lanes of traffic into one on I-205. I just wanted to get home and so did Justin. Justin was asking me every 2 seconds "what's happening?" I tried to explain that I didn't know but that I thought they were doing road work. Regardless of what I said Justin kept asking... my frustration grew with the crappy traffic and the endless stream of the same question....
The UGLY:
I bring the new dresser pieces into the house and realize that half of the new pieces are still wrong! I was very careful to note what I needed, but I still ended up with wrong parts - which means we have to go back to IKEA. Now even before I realized I still had bad parts, I had declared IKEA "hell on earth" and declared I would not return for a long long time. Looks like a trip back is in my near future. I kinda want to load the entire dresser up and just take it back. Or maybe I should have kept all the extra parts and made a bond fire in the back yard.
