My uncle and cousin brought over my 'new' full-size mattress today! I had sent an e-mail out to some of my aunts and uncles in the area trying to see if anyone had or knew someone who had a mattress that they wanted to get rid of for a cheap price because my mattress was in -really- bad shape and I wanted a new one. It turned out that one of mom's brothers had a full-sized mattress that was just sitting in his shed and not being used, so they offered it to me.
I was going to buy a twin mattress, but I thought that it was time for me to move up to a bigger bed because I'm tired of not having room to spread out when I sleep. It may be a silly reason, but I figured if I could find a mattress and a frame for like $200 or less, then it was worth it. It turns out that my uncle might be able to find me a bed frame, too. So, it could turn out that I won't have to invest any money in a bigger bed. That would be fantastic! I love free stuff!!
I'm so excited about the new bed! I still need to get new sheets and, if my uncle can't get a bed frame for me, then one of those, too. Even though I'll have considerably less space left in my room, it's totally worth it! Having room to spread out when I'm sleeping is more important than having a path to walk on around my room. ;p

In other news, I'm actually pseudo-ahead on my reading for this week. I really need to get as much done tomorrow as I can so that there is more time for me to concentrate on the 12 reviews that are due for my literature class a week from this Tuesday. It makes me really nervous that I only have about 6 books, so I'll need to make a trip to the library this weekend and get at least 6 more and get the reviews written before the 3rd. I'm definitely a little stressed about that.
Jake and I were supposed to have a double-date at Olive Garden with his sister and her fiance, but there was a 55-60 minute wait for a table, so we decided to try and find another restaurant. The best thing that we could find that didn't have a long wait was IHOP. The food was okay, but I got dressed up and ended up not going anywhere remotely fancy. So, my feet hurt from the pumps that I was wearing and it was all for nothing.
Maybe the next time we plan on going to Olive Garden, we'll actually think to call ahead and make reservations before we're in the car heading to the restaurant...
P.S. Jake and I saw "Inkheart" on Friday and I would just like to say that it was a pretty good movie! It actually only cost us $6 to get the both of us in and get a drink and some Sour Patch Kids because I had $20 in gift cards for Regal, so we basically got a free movie! I would have been okay with paying to see the movie, though. It was good! There were a couple of other movies that we were considering, but I'm definitely glad that we went with "Inkheart" instead of something else. The others I can wait to see until they come to Wapak or the Dollar Theater.
Yeah, the whole explanation thing is part of it. Most of it, actually. I don't wanna bother.
ReplyDeleteAs a side note, and one that actually relates to your blog, new bedding is one of my favorite things in the world!!! I hope you get a to buy some really cute sheets and a comforter! =)
