DISQUS

I hope you had the meatballs too... it's not a trip unless you prepare first in the cafe.

I wish we had been able to - by the time we thought to stop for food, the cafe had turned into a zoo. Next time, though, definitely next time.

I checked out your blog. You know who The Pursuit of Happiness is. Massive, massive bonus points for you. :)

Well the tip for next time: the cafe opens earlier than the store, plan accordingly (although I don't want to give the impression that the food is to die for).

Who doesn't know The Pursuit of Happiness?... although I guess it helps going to college in Upstate NY.

I know The Pursuit of Happiness mainly as the band from Rock and Roll High School Forever. They didn't play a big part in the movie, but I loved "I'm An Adult Now." I was thrilled when I found a copy of their CD at my college's radio station - I used to play that song all the time. :)

Two summers ago, when I found myself newly single, mostly furniture-less and in a new apartment in Manchester, I recruited Lifestyles editor Deidre to join me on a trek to the Hartford Ikea. You'd be amazed at how much assemble-yourself furniture I managed to squeeze into the back of my trusty Metro, Bulldog -- two dressers, a nightstand, a "lingerie" chest, a sideboard, numerous hanging organizers and Deidre's purchases - a small table and ice-cube trays. I think they pump some kind of shopaholic drug into the air, maybe hiding it in the cinnamon buns. Sadly, I've never had the meatballs or the buns, but I can vouch for the tastiness of the uber-cheap fro-yo. I am in love with Ikea, but the instructions sometimes leave something to be desired, which is why I find this so funny.
