New sheets
Tonight is a good night. Tonight was labeled a 'free' night in my little black book. Just the fact alone that I looked on today's events and had nothing (but family dinner which is not considered an obligation but a pleasure) written down. Not even a reminder about someone's birthday or a reminder about something to do tomorrow. There was nothing. As I said, this site alone was enough to write home about. So Kat and I took a brisk stroll around our fantasy-land neighborhood. It's pretty entertaining to walk among the 1-million$ plus homes and make up stories about the cute families that occupy them. I like to narrarate these stories when we walk by a cute young dad playing ball in the yard or something. Yes, I know - alot of what goes on in these houses isnt so glamorous but I think at this stage it is the illure of a home and a boy to come home to.....don't take this the wrong way you analytical people - yes, it is attractive, no, I am not wishing my years away. Moving on.....we then opted to grab food and have a mini version of family dinner since the K(C)atie's were MIA for the evening.
ARound 8pm I started taking advantage of the freeness of this Tuesday night. I cleaned, organized, sorted mail, throughout, updated calendars, wrote a few letters and the Whopper of them all - the eggs and bacon - the big kahuna: I changed my sheets. this isnt monumental because it is rare but because it is so rewarding. I am now sitting in my bed and I can smell the freshness (good thing because showers these days are few and far between). My mama invented this cool concept a few years ago. If you keep 2 sets of sheets, when you go to wash one set you immediatly have another and you dont have to wait to make up the bed again. Brilliant! So, being the sheet snob that I am I went out last August and purchased not 1, but 2 sets of high thread count sheets. People say the thread count doesnt relaly matter. Oh -contrare. Have you ever gotten into the sheets with socks on and then after about 3 minutes you take your sock off and rub your exposed feet on the sheets (yes, I know, contain yourself - this is a pretty intimate experience)? well if you do that and you dont have good sheets you'd never know what oblivion you are missing out on. this is one of my favorite things to do right when I go to bed.
Okay, some other things....when you settle for the 350count or below - everytime you move they move. Yes, great song - not good for sheets though.
My 900 thread count sheets at this moment (set #2) lies perfectly on each party of me as I get in bed. I can't do anything to mess this up. It's like they know you. And there is no reason to not explore this level of comfort that I speak of. Overstock.com has several high thread count sets for a great price. No excuses.
At the least if you take the plunge you can buy into my mom's phenomenon of 2 sets. That's free advise, mister.
Okay, taking off the socks.......
