Two words: furniture shopping.<\/p>\n
All I wanted was a fucking king sized bed so I had a decent chance of a restful night’s sleep instead of how it is now. Two humans + two beagles that triple in size after 10 PM does not equal restful sleep.<\/p>\n
::insane rant snipped – you are welcome::<\/p>\n
I did not want to blow a fortune on furniture. All I wanted was a big bed so I could get some Zzzzs in comfort. Ugh.<\/p>\n
So Gene has the following plan. He has given me a budget and has asked me to do one of the following:<\/p>\n
1) Do nothing – a queen sized bed isn’t a bad thing, it’s just a tight fit for 4 living beings.<\/p>\n
2) Buy the mattress we loved best and a frame for it and two cheapie nightstands. Eventually buy the furniture we love, after Plan B (hohoho –\u00a0money after a baby??) arrives, after the home equity loan is paid off, after our (my) 401k loan is finito.<\/p>\n
3) Go ass-crazy on the stuff we love and just be done with it.<\/p>\n
I’m leaning toward #2. My parents have had a king sized bed on a frame at least as long as I’ve known them (;)). And the stupid mattress has some sort of lifetime warranty – the saleswoman assured me that meant OUR lifetime, not the mattress’s.<\/p>\n
I rate furniture shopping somewhere between dealing with attorneys and dealing with car salesmen on the PITA scale.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
