Secreteria Telefonica
I got an answering machine yesterday! I know that international calling can be scary — there are so many numbers to dial and what if you dial the wrong number and some strange person answers in a language you don’t understand?! AGHIAGHAI! Anyways, there’s no need to be scared anymore as my trusty automatic secretary will respond in Italian and English.
We went to IKEA yesteray (in Italian pronounced EEE-KAY-AHH). We had to take back a piece of furniture that had a broken part. It’s a good thing we did too because they told us that that piece of furniture consisted of two boxes of parts and we had only picked up one! We had lunch at the Ikea restaurant (I got the manager’s special as usual) and picked out a bed and two nightstands.
It’s rainy and gray today. My chives finally sprouted last night. *What a relief* I was getting nervous because they’ve been underground there for at least a week.
I am so jealous of your ikea excursion. It has been almost a year since I’ve been – waah! Is that where you got the hot black leather couch too?? (BTW are you sure you helped pick that baby?? Don’t black leather couches usually scream bachelor?) You’ll have to send some pictures when you are all settled in!
I feel the manager’s special is basically the ONLY choice in the ikea dining room. The hot dogs and ice cream on the way out aren’t too bad either.
Good news about the chives. I think they are basically indestructable once they get going – ding!
