New bed

Yesterday morning I officially upgraded my bed from full size to queen size (my new favorite furniture store in the Valley is the RoomStore). The most significant difference is that I feel like the bed is huge. I used to sleep diagonally in my full size bed. Now I can sleep any direction and not be hanging off the edge. (Although I prefer to sleep with my feet hanging off the edge sometimes, so I guess I will just have to adjust.) This new bed huge-ness leads me to believe that my bed can comfortably sleep 4 people. (Anyone who wants to help me test that theory...lemme know...) In addition, the four pillows I currently use on my bed are not going to be nearly enough with all the extra space.

So yesterday afternoon as I was working from home, like a kid in a candy shop, I excitedly washed my new bed linens and put them on the bed (wait a second, what does a kid in a candy shop care about new bed linens??). Then I washed the new duvet I purchased last weekend, stuffed the new down comforter inside and threw it on the bed. I now have a problem. I have two beds with two duvets that I like. I can't decide which one to officially put in my bedroom and which one to put on the guest bedroom bed. One is green (and cost me $200) and the other is red (only cost $100). The green one is the one I had been dreaming about for so many years, but...I do have a thing for red, too. It's a toss-up.

The first night in the new bed was great! Although I see another problem. Normally it takes me about an hour after the alarm goes off before I consider myself fully coherent and having the "yeah, I should really get ready for work" mindset. This morning it took me TWO HOURS to get out of bed. Not good.

Last but not least... the new bed is a lot higher off the ground than the old bed. I have been hopping up into it. Not sure how necessary that is, but it makes me giggle when I do it, so I'll continue doing it. And only because my other option would be to make a running start at the bed and we all know I would manage to trip somewhere along that path...
