Viva IKEA

Time for some shopping. 150 miles away. Destination IKEA. That's where affordable and stylish cabinets and appliances are coming from.
Saturday marathon:

• 6 am: wake up. 
• 6:30 am: Pickup a Uhaul and chat with the owner about his passion: Parrots in cages. 
• 7 am: Take ownership of the 14 footer.
• 10am: Arrive at IKEA. 
• 11:30 am: Shake hands and say bye to IKEA kitchen consultant. 
• 12-noon: Done refueling with a plate of Swedish meatballs. 
• 12:30 pm: Pull the credit card and feel the pain. 
• 1 pm: Bribe an IKEA employee to help with the loading of 178 packages of all sizes and weight. 
• 2 pm: Take off and return home. 
• 4:32 pm: Open the window to stay awake.
• 5 pm: Bribe the neighbor with a beer to help with the unloading of 178 packages that now feels rather like 356 packages. 
• 6:30 pm: Return the Uhaul and drop the keys in the box (no parrot chat? Thanks but no-thanks).
• 7 pm: Collapse on the couch watching Gordon Ramsey's "Kitchen Nightmares".
• Shutdown.
