This almost sounds like a joke. Our IKEA MALM bed frame fell apart, again. This is the third time an IKEA bed broke on us, in less than a year.

It snowed overnight, on Valentine's Day. I think that's a first for me. We were just looking at my blog to see what we did last year for Valentine's Day, which is also our Wedding Anniversary.
