Did you get the memo?

Did you get the memo?

Grab your gray Mizzou hoodie…

and your brown berkies…

and if you drop by The Love Nest, mom will take you out to eat! 😛

Who knew?? (and I SO want that Mizzou hoodie. It’s way soft. I tried it on. I commented what size I wear. I don’t think I could have dropped any more hints…) 8)

Sleep Number Bed Headaches

by Kay~Kacey on 2/27/2009

and by headaches…I don’t mean problems. I mean headaches.

So I’ve been getting headaches when we’re over at The Love Nest. Lots of them. We even got a carbon monoxide detector to see if that was it.

Well, remember that Sleep Number Bed that I was so excited about? Well, it appears that it’s giving me headaches. Horrible ones. It just has this strong chemical/plastic smell to it.

So I took it apart. Put the egg crate foam part of it out on the balcony to air out.

Unzipped the whole thing and spread it all out. Yes, that’s a fan in the window…blowing OUT the window trying to suck out the smell.

Then I washed all the bedding. The mattress pad…

Yes, well, you can’t tell very well from this photo, but the mattress pad melted! So, how special. I look at the care tag (you know, after I already cared for it.) “Use NO HEAT when drying the mattress pad.” As if. :wallbash:

I’m quite irritated at this bed right now. I’m going to put the whole darn thing back together and see how it sleeps tonights. If I’m still getting headaches from it, I might take a machete to it and put it (me) out of it’s (my) misery. :mad2:

So, maybe I wake up with less body aches with this bed…but my headaches are killing me. Wish me luck that this airing out solves the problem.

Is it Wrong?

by Kay~Kacey on 2/26/2009

Really, tell me the truth. Is it wrong to pick out your outfit to match your SLIPPERS??

kacey-slippers

Yes, I know. My boys gave me these super comfortable Ugg slippers for Christmas. I find myself picking out things that match them to wear on days I’m staying at home. I’m hopeless, right? I do find myself wearing this cream sweater an inordinate number of days this winter… :crazy:
