LOL! I needed to get it out of the way...I have TOO MUCH to do btw. now and the hols to think about it for long.
Yeah - I'm probably going to have to bump up my timeline a bit.
I'm committed to volunteering in my kids' classes 6 days this month, hosting the family Thanksgiving, 4 soccer games, 4 soccer practices, 2 charity events, 1 dinner with the director of the school district's highly capable program, 2 teacher conferences, 1 dinner with the board members of the non-profit I'm a VP for + whatever work that meeting creates for me, a gazillion other things that I'm sure I just don't remember at the moment, and a partridge in a pear tree.

I've been spending 3-4hrs putting together ONE bloody IKEA TV bench. Geesh, that thing took two people and waaay to many parts to put together. Had a pint as well, I hardly ever drink beer.
I've found that more pints can greatly reduce the time it needs to put IKEA furniture together, though it does tend to increase the number of parts left over when you're done.
