Or you just need to be secure enough in your relationship to realize that one of you (me) is really good at putting together furniture and that one of you (my husband) sucks at it and needs to stay the fuck out of the other ones way until there is heavy lifting involved.

This was me and my SO two months ago at the Ikea in Red Hook. We started out OK — we’d done research! We had a list! Then, the somehow our precious, guiding light of a list got lost and everything sort of just unraveled from there. We also made the fatal error of going on day when we were time-limited (please — if you

Here’s my arrangement: the boyfriend ‘tetrises’ (shh that’s totally a word) the stuff into the car, and then once we get home I assemble it while he sits on the couch and keeps me company. Works for us!

I don’t know. Did you make sure that one person had a hammer and the other had a pencil behind their ear? Whose fault is it really if you don’t follow all of their instructions properly?

I love love LOVE Ikea furniture. It’s like grownup Lego’s and so much fun to put together!

Ha ha! I worked for a cake shop making custom toppers. Those are just two of my many many favourites. (Now I want to make a Batmanatee!)

The Etsy seller was excellent. Very fast and she’ll customize them to match your colors if you like.

Well to be fair, Grindr is made specifically for Randy Boehning.

Mine could have a coffee table book of selfies, too. He looooooves the camera.

Every time I leave my iPhone unattended, I find hundreds of pictures of my toddler’s forehead or foot, depending on if she’s using the front or rear camera. This is just what they do.

You can pry my amazing 1200 watt microwave out of my cold, dead hands.

Fox News and the GOP are right about Sharia Law coming to America. But what they don’t understand is that it’s the right wing nut jobs bringing it on, not that scary Muslim, Obama.

Oh my gosh, I had a great one! The base and flower accents you can see in the back (as well as two rings on the reverse side) are from my mom and dad’s cake topper; from which I removed the horrible doves and repainted. Then using maps of my home I made us. We’re from Winnipeg (my skirt), we got engaged and married at

If the app lets you track the full (legible) names of who gave you what and their current contact information, I might be on board — anything to make it easier to send thank-you notes!

It may not be unique or inventive, but I wanna show off mine anyway. Haven’t gotten to use it yet (10 weeks and 4 days!!!) but this is what I bought. It’s perfect for us.

When we got married, we had a sweet pup named Kenobi, which is why he’s sporting the brown cape.

Ours were lovebirds made from vintage paper. We got married at the Housing Works Bookstore, so the bookish paper tied in perfectly. Purchased on Etsy from trinketsbydana for $16.
