IKEA Crazy!

We were over at the Tanigawa's last night for Monopoly and as the night came to an end Sheena and I thought it would be fun to go to IKEA for their $5o gift card giveaway. They were giving away gift cards to the first 100 people there. So we started throwing out times of when we should go so we could have a chance at getting one of those gift cards. The store opens at 10am and it was advertised in a flier so we thought 6am. Then we kept talking and bumped it to 5am then for some reason we decided it would be a great idea to leave at 430AM! We committed ourselves and left, knowing that in less than 5 hours we would be headed towards IKEA for the chance at getting a $5o gift card. Jeff, the kids and I got home at around 1130pm and didn't get into bed until close to 1am, so what ...that left 3 hours of miserable sleep. I picked Sheena up at 430AM and when we got there we were about the 7th or 8th ones there. We pulled out some chairs and sat for the next several hours. Long story short...we ended up with bright yellow wristbands with the numbers 11 & 12 on them! This is only the second time that I've lined up for something and this was pretty big being there that early. It's almost 8pm now and I am exhausted. Thanks Sheena for saying you would go and actually making me get up that early. Hope you were able to have some serious nap time you "haole-pino."
