Not A Handy Woman

I love it when I feel useful, and I definitely had to pretend I was handy today. I helped a friend move and furniture shop for her new room. 

We may of went wild at Ikea. I am always surprised how cheap everything is there. I also want to redo my whole entire room or I guess I could just live in an Ikea. Wouldn't that be amazing? (I always think of 500 Days of Summer whenever I lay on their beds)

We found an amazing $15 bookcase. It is beautiful, and we are in love. (I wish I had room in my room so I can justify buying a new bookcase.) Because we are random, we also ended up with wooden spoons, a frying pan, and ice cream cones (they have yummy ice cream).

Putting together the bookcase may of been a trial for us. Apparently it wasn't that easy to put the thing together. We would accidentally bend the nails, chip the bookcase, and one the bookcase's legs may be on backward. I was not as talented at I thought I was. 

Our efforts did not go in vain, and the bookcase turned out wonderful (even with its flaws). I may of even claimed I wanted to be a carpenter after I finished. (I was feeling accomplished. Don't judge.) It actually turned out to be a lot of fun because I got some bonding time. We sat around saying (actually it was only me) we didn't need men, and that we were totally manly enough. 

After all of our hard work (which actually may not have even been a big deal) we rewarded ourselves with food. How food makes any hardship all worth it.
