October 1st, 2005saturday fun
I don’t really mind spending money. I’m not a tightwad.. I’ll spend $2 on coffee five times a week easy, and I always overtip. And I love giving presents. Christmas is my favorite time of year. 🙂 Even when it comes to spending large sums of money on necessary things, I’m OK. Except when I then go to balance my checkbook and cringe.
I just bought a new mattress. It’s pillowtop… cushy. 🙂 And it was time. But I’m all about buying quality when it comes to things I’m going to have for a long time. I’ve no problem buying $1 flipflops and $6 sunglasses, but when it comes to furniture… well, it needs to be comfortable and it needs to last.
That being said, now I’m all cranky about this damn mattress. And I shouldn’t be. But I’m planning a few trips in the next few months and Christmas is coming and blah, blah, blah. Sorry people, just wanted to vent.
I was at the mattress store with my friend E. Together, we’re a dangerous combination… in that we’re very blunt and we’ll have private conversations in public (she, more than I.. but it’s funny). There were two guys at the mattress store….
The one walked us around and had us try out the mattresses. So E and I are laying on this mattress and the guy says, “So how are you in bed normally?”
I grinned and said, “Pretty good actually.” (Hi, I’m all about bullshitting the people… hehehe)
Blushing furiously, he said, “No, I mean what position?”
So I replied, “I like to be on top.” (I’m just wicked aren’t I? 🙂 )
“What about you doll,” I said, looking at E.
“Oh on top is fabulous, but this bed is so comfortable, I think any position would be nice. You’re getting a strong headboard, right?”
I thought the man was going to split a gut, he was laughing so hard.
What? It was fun.
I’m sure you left him with quite a picture in his head, lol. I’ll bet he’ll never look at that particular bed in the showroom in quite the same way.
Cushy is the best. And now that you’ve bought it there’s no point getting cranky. Enjoy it and bask in its comfort. I’m sure everything else will work itself out :). You should christen it watching a DVD in bed on your powerbook w/ a cookie and one stick, lol.
I hope you get a good night’s sleep on your new mattress :).

I believe I did.. lol. 🙂
And while I know you mean one stick to be a cigarette, the rest of the readers are now saying, “One stick.. how many are normally in her bed.” ‘Cause they’re all pervy… rotfl. 😉
Anyway, none today and no headaches, so.. no more. I’m going completely cold turkey now.

Good for you. I feel bad for encouraging such behavior. Swap stick for nicotene patch :).

Of course you should buy quality, it’s your back, your sleep, your health we’re talking about.
That being said. Next time you’re buying a mattress, can I tag along?

You shameless hussy, you.
Poor boys at the mattress store. At least you gave them something to talk about.
Your legend is growing.
