The rest of it...(pun intended)

I am finally ready to buy a queen size bed.  No more full size bed from Craig's list with a lifeless mattresses set circa 1976.  I put in my time doing internet research and I narrowed my selections down to anything I can afford that isn't firm.  That left plush, pillow top, and euro top.  Having no idea what the real difference is between the plushy mattress toppings, I had to get out there and do some real testing.  The thing about mattress testing is this:  I don't intend to be the solo user of this mattress forever, so I need input!  As I don't yet know my potential bedmate, I did the next best thing...I brought the craziest friends I know.  (Sidenote - when I asked these friends if they wanted to try out mattresses with me...no questions were asked and all readily agreed.  This is obviously a sign of true, non-judgemental friendship.) 

I admit, I was hesitant to just lie there and enjoy the various comforts each bed was supposed to offer.  Fortunately, Chelsey and Angie were there.  They climbed up on every bed we considered.  They tested every sleeping position you would ever use (and every one you wouldn't).  They jumped on them, they spooned on them, and they posed on them.  So, I'm fairly confident that the mattress set I will get is the best option for me, thanks in part to the great salesman, but mostly thanks to the shameless ladies I brought. 

Thanks girls.

Cleveland, I ain't never felt nothin so strong...

I cannot wait until I get to see the Avett Brothers this April.  Curtis just sent around a video link of them on their European tour.  We're all getting antsy in the pantsy to go see them.  I think I'm the only one that hasn't yet.  I know the concerts will be excellent. I just hope I get to hear Salina!

Thanks Google images and whoever posted these for me to see!

Thanks Me, for being Me

A licensee sent me flowers today.  The note says, "For going above and beyond the call of duty.  With sincere gratitude"  How nice is that? 

My room

My inner Sara had a painting day yesterday.  I painted some square canvases to hang in my room, using the colors of my room.  I'm pretty excited about the result.  I have some pics of pink flowers that I took that are mounted in a black frame with white matting that will go on another wall.  I'm so excited about my room!

I think I want to hang these above my bed, but I'm still deciding what headboard to purchase for it.  So far I'm thinking about these.  Some look grey, but they are all black.
