Been thinking about completely remodeling my home these days. After hurricane Ike hit Houston; I was left with a lot of damages and with the summer knocking on our doors, I thought of remodeling my backyard. Ikea came to mind and purchased a very nice umbrella for my patio table. Boy, was I excited; I pictured myself with a “Michelada” on my hand and relaxing under the umbrella, but to my disappointment it didn’t fit. I thought it was a joke when my huby Dave told me, it wouldn’t fit. Apparently, the umbrella’s pole was too tick to fit into the table’s hole. He said “You need to return it or buy new furniture that fits the umbrella”. I was like, R You Serious? Serious meaning, I was going to have to return it. I imagined myself going back and waiting in line for my turn and having to look for another umbrella, but as if it was not enough, I had lost the receipt as well. On that note, I will have to save more money for new furniture because an umbrella base is not something I was wanting to get. However, surfing the internet for outdoor furniture, I found the new Neo Livingstones from Smarin. If money was no object, I would get these stones and place them around my dream yoga studio.
