New Mattress

Last weekend we went and saw Paul.  It was an awesome movie, I haven't laughed that hard or that long in a movie in a long time.  The R is for language, it is very vulgar so I wouldn't see if you don't want to hear it.  Andy also tried making an oven roast for the first time ever on Sunday.  It was delicious!  I may never do one in the crock pot again unless I really want one and won't be home to tend it.

Last Saturday we finally made it over to RC Willies to pick out another mattress.  When we walked in, we both looked left, then both looked right and then did a double take.  If only it had been that easy when we were actually looking for one!  There was a beautiful sectional couch sitting there with a soft fabric on it and we both had to sit.  And wouldn't you know, it was comfy too.  Too bad it was $1400 even with a free ottoman.  If I knew we could handle the payments right now, that set would have been ours and in the basement right now and Tony would have to figure out what he wanted us to do with his furniture right quick LOL. Sadly, we had to walk away.

Anyway, we started to head further into the store when we ran into a really great salesman named, Jeff, who promptly swept us on over to the mattresses.  We explained about the warranty and he started having us lay down on ones within the limit of the credit we got.  We tried out several, and thought we had found one we liked, but we were at odds on the firmness.  Jeff had us lay on a much more expensive mattress at that point, and darn him, we both liked it (of course).  As we were laying there debating on our ability to go over the credit amount I had relaxed enough to realize I was laying on one of the most supportive pillows I had ever put my head on and pointed it out to Andy.  We have become very picky about our pillows and have a huge stack of ones we have bought that quickly got uncomfortable due to going hard or flat or lumpy.  Jeff told us that he and his wife had earlier versions of the pillow I had my head on and they had had them for almost six years and they were still like new, they hadn't gone flat.  Jeff also made us a great offer to sell us the floor pillows (they had just put them out too) for less than half of what the new ones cost.  We were sold.  Once we agreed on the pillows, Jeff took us in the back with an idea and he started looking thru the clearance mattresses and guess what?  He found the much more expensive mattress back there and offered it to us for only $25 more than our credit.  We had to debate about it (clearance means used for up to 30 days by someone and returned for who knows what reason, but are guaranteed sound and clean) but finally we took it.  It has a shorter guaranty on it, but we took the chance on it.  We ended up buying a new office chair as well, as Andy's current one broke.  Jeff was very happy with us!

I ended up sick this week, got whatever Andy had last week, and am very glad to have a new mattress.  It's very comfortable.  Our backs are adjusting to actually being supported tho and so we are both a bit sore, but it's a good sore.  Poor Lily tho, the new bed is several inches taller than our old one and she already had a hard time getting on that one.  She has to really try hard to get on this one to her great frustration.  I took pity on her yesterday and moved my stool into the bedroom so she can use it to get on hehe.
