What's under the bed?

[pjthompson]

A hand towel, a catnip mouse, a cheap plastic ball with a bell inside, three cork coasters, a dust bunny colony large enough to storm the gates of Rome.

The cat toys are understandable, and the coasters are there for similar reasons. It was quite a fun game to knock them off the end table and bat them around. The hand towel is a bit of a mystery, but ::shrug.:: The dust bunnies are, unfortunately, not a mystery at all.

Why am I getting in touch with the underbelly of my bedroom? I finally got rid of my dorm-like bed and got a grown up bed. This one, in fact:







The roommate and I decided to be patriotic this weekend and spend money at sales. She got a comfy chair for her den, and I got a bed. It was rock bottom cheap. I paid less for the bed than I would ordinarily pay for a mattress. In addition to the sale, they only had two full-size beds in this model left and were closing them out, never to darken their door (or warehouse) again. Nobody wants full beds any more, apparently. In my late forties-era bedroom, however, buying a queen would mean I had no room for anything but bed, so full is plenty fine for me. One of these days I might even have to make it. Min likes the bare mattress once she got over the terror of the headboard.

Speaking of amusing things, you know what else is funny? Listening to my Albert Ammons CD and hearing the very formal late-thirties era white guy announcer say, "Sweet Patootie."

[pjthompson]

Thank you. It felt very zen. :-)

Very classy! It looks comfy, too.

Although I have the same mattresses, it's much firmer than the other bed, which is what my back needs these days. I'm happy.

Yeah, a very nice bed!

[pjthompson]

Thanks. Easier on my back to get out of and easier on my back to sleep on, too.

From me, too!

Very nice. That was what you used part of your rebate check for?

[pjthompson]

No, I haven't got that money yet. This deal couldn't wait--it was that good. I'd been shopping for awhile, so I knew I probably wouldn't be able to beat this price.

That is a gorgeous bed.

[pjthompson]

Thanks! And more important than that, Min likes it, too. :-)
