Go Go Go

In my book, the weekend is suppose to be a time to relax and enjoy yourself. Not to say that I have not enjoyed myself this weekend, because I have. In part because it has just been the "kids" (dogs), Matt and I. However, Matt got his tax return on Friday which was burning a hole in his pocket just seconds after he got it. So Saturday we went shopping... all day!!! I absolutely hate shopping which stems for the hours upon hours my mom use to subject me to as a kid. Matt wanted one of three things; a new bed, flat screen TV, or a gun. Pretty sure I was okay with anything, but the gun. Seriously how many do you really need? Better yet, how often do you actually use it? So after comparing stats and prices of a number of TVs and bed mattresses & frames, we decided on a BED!!!

I'm ecstatic! Getting a new bed is long over due. Our current bed is in great shape and super comfortable, but it is only a full size. It is the bed Matt got himself before we were together which was all he needed. With me being six feet tall, that means my feet have been hanging over the edge of the bed when stretched out for nearly four years! The little bit of extra room that the queen will give us will be much appreciated. We went to furniture stores, Sears, UFS and the beloved Big Lots. In the end the frame we agreed on came from Big Lots as did the mattress. They had their Serta mattress sale where you buy a mattress and get the foundation for only $10. Saturday was the last day of the sale so the mattress was bought a day prior to the frame. Why you may ask? Well Bog Lots is having their "Family and Friend Day" today where you get 20% off your entire purchase. So by waiting we got 20% off the bed frame!! I refuse to pay full price for something if I don't have to.

Unfortunately, we will not have access to a truck until Thursday, so we have to wait to bring the bed home. But it is comforting knowing that we will have something new that Matt and I both want, can use and enjoy. After all the store to store shopping and the back and forth from city to city I am officially exhausted! Once we get the new bed set up and out new bedding gets here I will put up a picture of our big purchase!! :) Oh and if you read this today, go to Bog Lots and get 20% off your entire purchase. They stay open late until 10:00pm tonight for the occasion!
