Social Media Saturday Haps

Posted by Mel on Nov 7, 2010 in Out-n-About, This only happens to me! | 1 comment

Seeing that I had a drafted post from LAST month about Social Media Saturday (which just happened again yesterday) — totally unacceptable — I’m using it for today’s Sunday post.

Ahhh, my first adventure in Robinson. I missed the (376) Parkway entrance three times. THREE FREAKING TIMES. Each time I’d see the sign, I would miss the turn or the lane… so freaking frustrating. I think driving and directions and traffic are the one time AB & I are guaranteed a squabble.

IKEA best be worth it.

Each first weekend of the month, they celebrate “Social Media Saturday, encouraging customers to “check-in” on their platform of choice to receive a discount or coupon… and definite afternoon of shopping fun. This was my first EVER trip to the store. I know. I can almost not believe that too.

IKEA!

We received $10 apiece in IKEA dollars and participated in a fun store-wide scavenger photo hunt (AB did it) for a chance at a $25 gift card. Ooh, also, I got a free picture frame for playing. And we barely spent $50 (even if I oooh’d and ahhhh’d at everything). In expected IKEA confusing fashion, we purchased a build-it-your-own-damn-self lamp (that had no lightbulbs) and purse hooks (that had no screws or nails). *sigh*

And I finally had those damn meatballs that I drooled over in the catalogs for the last decade. NOM.

??? How in the world did you miss the “exit” for the Parkway “376″ when at the point you come out of the tunnels-YOU’RE ON IT?? LOL! Did you have a hard time getting out of downtown? I can understand that! Funny thing, I was just thinking about “yinz” the other day…”Wonder if they ever leave downtown?”
