You can never pay too much for a good nights sleep. My wife and I laid down a cool grand on some new sheets and stuff for our bed. My ulcer is reminding me what an incredibly sensible purchase that was.
At least they got the name “Sham” correct. At $50 bucks a piece, they coudn’t have come up with a better name. You will need at least 6 or more of these. And don’t even try and sleep on one – they are for decoration only. For actually touching your head against something, you will need to sleep on one of the pillows that has a regular pillowcase. You can pick up the “plain” pillowcase for the paltry sum of $40 bucks each.
There is no doubt that NASA spent their Mars landing budget on helping create kadjillion thread count sheets. For the price of a used Fiat, you too can feel like you are sleeping on sheets made for a king. My sheets were made for King Remorse from the Land of Regret, far beyond the What The Hell Was I Thinking sea.
BTW – dont forget to try and make your bed look exactly like the bed in the store – you know, the one with 14 pillows that each costs more than steak dinner for two.
The best part is that after you initially stroke out over the fact that your new bedding cost twice as much as your first car, you can justify the purchase by staying up all night reminding yourself that you cant put a price on a good nights sleep.
I havnt slept since Sunday – but man is my bed comfortable.

I told you we should have spent the money on the fooseball-dart board-pool table combo we saw at SAMS. You still wouldn’t have gotten any sleep but at least you would have been entertained.

Once again – you are correct. That foosball table is the bomb – definately an item that would need to just mysteriously “show up” without prior spousal consent.

Think again.

I’m feeling your pain – can you explain the pillow thing to me? Every morning my wife builds a pillow offering to the great pillow Gods. We don’t sleep on them, and even if I was allowed, they’re about as comfortable as brillo pads. Is this a religous cult thing that I should be worried about, or just some form of a piling disorder that I need to accept? Maybe the Martha virus?

LOL! Do you also suffer from having “pillow mountain” conveniently piled on your side of the room when its time to go to bed? It gave me great satisfaction when I got up in the middle of the night last night, and my giant bulldog had fallen asleep in the middle of them. At least someone is enjoying them!

I’m in lock step with you – but that’s another issue, my cats own & use more furniture then I do. Half the chairs in the house are positioned in front of a window facing outside. In another year I’m going to have to eat on the floor or learn how to balance my plate on the window sill. And the little fur mongers lay claim to everything. Put a shirt on the bed and they assume it’s a beach blanket or something. Try to reclaim it and the wife looks at me like I’m throwing a baby out of a stroller. Where does it end? One day I may be the one to go to the vet & never return.
BYW – thanks for letting me vent & take up space on your site. Paul sent your link my way, I’m having a great time reading your stuff. Cheers.

You mean people actually make their beds in the morning? Doesn’t it just get messed up again in about 12 hours? And who is looking at it during this time? Not I mind you… and infact I could care less if it is messy before I get in bed… I already know what it is going to look like later

LOL – You know you are married when you get: “not on the coverlet!”
