A Surprisingly Sane Blog

I’ve always hated the idea of housing visitors until I moved here… and now I couldn’t be more excited that wow, people are coming to visit me! And this is a really good thing because… we just picked my sister up from the airport last night! I have my first visitor!  Woo hoo!

And now, now I have a beautiful home with plenty of space and a guest room with a very nice king-sized bed instead of the queen bed that I did have plans to stick in there.

Would you like to know why?

It’s because we had to buy a freaking expensive-as-hell latex mattress to replace our fabulous memory-foam-pillow-top one that we splurged on as our marriage bed.  WHY?  Because our mattress couldn’t fit up the stairs in this house, and we were going to have to remove the window frame to hoist it into our bedroom via the roof!

Yes, world, I spent an obscene amount of money that we didn’t really have on this fabulous, top-of-the-line king-sized latex mattress without springs just so we could fit it up the stairs.

And I would be whining and bitching about it except for the fact that it is, without a doubt, the most comfortable bed I have ever slept on.  It even sings me a lullaby every night.  That’s how freaking fantastic this mattress is.

So, like, when I’m braving the cold Seattle winter barefoot and wearing nothing but a t-shirt, ragged sweater, ripped jeans, and the appropriate undergarments, at least I’ll be able to brag about the warm, comfy, incredible, I’m-a-spoiled-rotten-brat mattress that has taken permanent residence in my bedroom.

Gawd I love that thing.  I don’t wake up with a crink in my neck and back anymore.  Now if only I could figure out how to combat this whole “insomnia” thing that visits on a regular basis… I’d be one happy camper.
