I didn't realize how many board games I had until I went to pack some, sooo... here's a list of ones I think I'll bring? I hope they're all acceptable:
1. Risk
2. Monopoly
3. Quotations (it's some old school one I found a yard sale)
3. Fact or Crap
4. Apples 2 Apples
5. Trivial Pursuit, 90's
ummm. I think that's all :) I also have Taboo, Sequence, some other one that I can't remember the name of, but I think I'll leave those behind, ya ya?

PICTURES!!
Ok guys!
I'll start with the best part of our room- THE VIEW!!
The room is a lot wider than our beloved Bornhuetter abodes but a wee bit shorter. And when we first arrived, both beds were lofted with the desk and dressers underneath, leaving only a little bit of room before the window. We completely rearranged it.
The furniture is identical to our old stuff except that the wood is a darker (prettier) cherry color. Yeah, I'm gonna go with cherry. I Googled types of wood to try to be accurate but that failed.
The closets are SWEET!! I think all 5 of us (including Chris) could stand in them.
Also, we each have a bookshelf, I stuck mine in the closet and Leann's is next to the dressers under the window.
Aaaaand...... let's see.... there is one florescent light above the doorway. Direct quote from Mrs. Morris: "If I lived in this room, I would never EVER use that light!" It's a little hospital-like (or morgue) but not terrible in my opinion. A floor lamp will be nice though.
Now for the part where I employed my well-honed stalker skills. Our RA's name is Somadina Iworisha. I hear that she's really fun and sings a lot.
Took me a minute to find their room. I was looking for the wrong names!
And we can probably guess what their RA is into.
Well, that's all I've got. I can't wait for you all to get here!! And call or text me when you get in so I can help you move in if you so wish. (I have to go to a training session on how to un-loft beds- HAA! so I should be an expert! HAA!).
See you soon!

IKEA findings
1) I got the Orgel Vreten floor lamp for $20. Pro: It was on sale from $30 to $20! Con: The lamp shade is made of paper. The paper is like paper-mache thick, but I'm kind of afraid it could rip. ("So handle me with care...")
2) You know those road map rugs that I posted a while ago? Well they're in the IKEA children's section for $14! The rug is about 5x6, and technically called a "playmat." I would have bought it if it hadn't been for the transportation issue. But if anyone is driving to school and wants a cheap, functional rug AND a place to play Hot Wheels on your floor, then I suggest jumping on this deal.3) My brother is evil. I was browsing in the marketplace while he was in the restaurant eating Swedish meatballs and he didn't even save any.
4) There was a Scandinavian looking employee who had a fake mustache that was half falling off. He looked redonkulous!
5) The rooms in Douglass are pretty big, so there's a lot of space for entertaining, etc. I thought about getting a LACK side table for $8 (seriously! $8! and it comes in a lot of colors too) or a coffee table for $20. Again, if not for transportation issues, I would have bought this.
6) I love IKEA. The end.

More odds and ends
1) Have you noticed that Chris is a part of this blog but hasn't posted anything? What a bimbo. Just because you're having tons of fun in Europe doesn't mean you get to neglect your obligations to this blog! So pretty much, come back to the USA Chris, I miss my number 1 skinny hipster.
2) I just talked on the phone with Haley and she had this to say about the rooms in Douglass:
a) They're newly furnished! It looks like the same furniture we had in Bornhuetter but in a darker color, "cherry?" Haley says
b) Our RA might be Japanese, or at least has a Japanese sounding name
c) (Totally unrelated to B): Our name tags have female anime characters on them
3) I am finally going to that golden place called IKEA today. I will update my findings and purchases later!
4) Haley also said that the road construction looks pretty much the same. I was expecting to come back to see Wooster completely transformed and beautified. I guess we'll have to wait a little longer.
5) Can we please have a Dr. Horrible Viewing Party? Can people dress up as the Evil League of Evil?! We can turn it into a karaoke party too! Observe:
