A “bur-What”? you might ask.  A Bjursta.  I briefly mentioned it a few weeks ago when we had that delightfully relaxing Saturday. It’s our brand new dining room table courtesy of Ikea. Charlene and I are really excited about it, and we’re looking forward to getting it all put together so we can start having guests over for dinner again.

It wasn’t as cheap as I had hoped, but we looked a few other places, including Target, and we never found anything that we liked. But I figure it’s OK. Being the business major I am, I figure we can amortize/depreciate the cost of the table over the time we end up using it, and it won’t really cost us that much. In other words, we’ll get plenty of use out of it, and the value of the time we use it far exceeds the actual cost of the table for that particular period of time. Geeky, I know. But it’s really the only way I could justify the purchase in my mind. But that’s my random musing for the day.

Thanks to Jeremy for driving to Ikea to pick it up with us, and for helping to deliver it to our apartment.

I’ll post a picture after it’s setup.

Yesterday, I spent most of the day moving boxes around the house, unpacking stuff, and generally cleaning up the place. In the process, I managed to majorly stub my toe. Note to self: the bamboo cutting board is very heavy and it’s a bad idea to kick it.

My wife, the physical therapist, says it’s not broken, but it’s suffering from some pretty severe bruising and it’s kinda swollen.

Now, I was never a big fan of feet and toes to begin with, but now mine are certainly ugly. For your viewing pleasure:
