After doing lots of research and saving our Christmas and Birthday money, we finally got a new bed! We got a king size because Punki sleeps with us, and really a Queen size just wansn't doing it for us, even with our skinny little selves. For one thing, Adelaide takes up half the bed because she loves to sleep with both arms straight out to the side. The other problem is a dip in our mattress that causes everyone to roll to the middle (where I am usually sunk). There is nothing I love more than being squeezed between my two favorite people in this world, but it gets a bit uncomfortable some nights after a while...I must admit. The king size bed seems HUGE!
We ordered it from Costco and got a great deal, much better than the local Mattress store could offer. The guys that delivered it were friendly enough and even helped me to move our old Queen size out to the garage to be sold on Craigslist. I'm excited to try it out, although I spent a lot of money on some fancy organic sheets, and after washing them, they don't feel half as soft as they did in the store. I'm kind of a sheet snob, I like to have a comfy bed! And we have the bed on the floor now so IF Adelaide ever falls off, she won't fall far. It actually makes the room look bigger somehow, because the bed is lower I guess?
The other exciting thing is I invested in some "space bags" to store the pillow top from the old bed, along with some other pillows, sheets etc. Those things are amazing, however impossible to zip closed by yourself unless you have 4 hands...and the design of the zipper sucks - I ended up poking holes in both bags I used with it, which defeats the purpose all together. Good thing a little tape sealed the holes and the vacuum sucked the air out making the bags a little smaller. I really did feel like we are in the space age now. And with our king size bed...we will be livin large!
P.S. it's after 7:30 pm and still light outside!!! That means Spring is on the way, or is it just because the clouds are parting, and we might have a sunny day tomorrow!? I bet it stays light out a lot later in places where it isn't raining everyday. I love the rain though, no complaints, I promise.
