IKEA

everyday life 1 Minute

It’s that time of the year when squirrels run around with their tails up, getting food supplies into their nest to help them last through the winter. That’s what I thought of myself when I went to IKEA last Saturday, the first time after it reopened. I ran out of everything and needed to replenish supplies.

Do you know that nobody except IKEA sells cookies or cracker with cardamon?!
Lave both of these teas!
New cups
Chocolate supplies
Mini cinnamon buns (just in time for a cinnamon buns day)

The lines were long, but moving pretty fast, and there is enough space in Ikea for distant shopping. Obviously, I spent a lot of time in the kids’ section (grandmother should not be allowed there :)), and all the kids stuff is waiting to be presented whenever Anna will decide.

I was glad I was able to get away from never-ending work, if even just for an hour. I wanted to go to IKEA for the past four weeks, and could not find time, so I almost had to force myself. I am glad I did:)

My name is Henrietta (Hettie) Dombrovskaya. I was born in Saint-Petersburg, Russian (actually, back then – Leningrad, USSR) in 1963, and immigrated to the United States in 1996. I love Saint Petersburg, the city I was born and raised in, and I think it’s one of the most beautiful places in the world. Similarly (but differently) I love Chicago, and can’t imagine myself moving somewhere else in the observable future. I have three children, Igor, Vlad and Anna, all adults living on their own, and one (so far) granddaughter Nadia. I also believe that my children are the best thing that happened in my life. As for my professional life, I am working in the field of Information Technologies. When I was twenty, I’ve declared that the databases are the coolest thing invented and that I want to do them for the rest of my life. Thirty plus years later, I still believe it’s true, and still, believe that the databases are the best. These two statements together imply that I think a person can have it all, and indeed, I think so! Keep reading my journals to find out how I did it.

  1. I never tried Ikea’s tea, but brand name seems to be perfect. Maybe I have to check the taste as well (I believe i need a couple of visits to Ikea yet before we are ready with renovation).

  2. That’s the first time I saw the tea in IKEA, at least the teabags. So may be it is something new. The taste is incredible! Each time when I am about to brew tea, I look at these boxes and change my mind 🙂
