New mattress!!

When we moved to San Francisco, Nick and I had basically nothing.  I had two suitcases (which my airline lost - both of them - not kidding) and he didn't have much to bring from his mom's house as far as furniture goes.  So, like all good college kids, we (ok, Nick) scoured Craigslist, found free stuff, rented a huge truck and drove around picking it up.  Did I mention he did all this before I got there?  I lub him.

We still use the kitchen table and chairs, a dresser, bookshelf, some night stands, and - until a week ago - our queen sized pillow top mattress.  We got it from a nice guy in a nice apartment in a nice part of town BUT STILL it was a used mattress then and used mattresses are definitely one of those "too gross to buy used" items.  And now it's 5 1/2 yrs later.  The straw that broke the back for me was the first time we left Lucy here with a house sitter - SOME HOW - Lucy gets on the bed (never does that), pulled back the sheets (never does that), and ate a tennis ball sized hole in the mattress.  Um, what?!  We've been talking about getting a new one for a while, but it's not a super fun task so it tends to get put off...

On another topic:  we like to go to Las Vegas.  Our current favorite resort is Aria in the new CityCenter.

The rooms are so nice and fancy and those beds... mmmm.... so so so so comfortable.  Well anyway, Nick has a friend of a friend who has a friend (something like that) who works there and can get employee pricing on them.  But logistically it's still hard because, oh yeah, we live in Northern California, not Las Vegas (?!) and well, we don't even know the person.  Buuuuut..... :)

 Yep, that's my bed.  And my new mattress!! 

Merry birthday to me!!!

Officially awesome!

The bed is so funny and tall, I feel like I have to jump into it.  I've only slept in it one night, but so far - so so so good!  And we just got new pillows and wow.  I'm a happy sleeper!  Come check it out!

Oh and were you wondering what the old mattress was doing?

Sassers!

And to Number 33: Buy a new mattress- I very happily say CHECK!

Thanks honey!!
