Man, but I'm SO not looking forward to work tomorrow. I've had it with my boss and plan on making yet *another* complaint to HR about her actions. What sucks is, it takes an act of Congress to fire someone at my work. I plan to do whatever I can to speed up the process. She's the WORST boss I've ever had.
Anyway, this weekend we finally purchased a mattress!! (About damn time, I say.) The mattress we got was a Simmons WorldClass Beautyrest – Pillow Top. Specs: http://www.simmons.com/products/brands/beautyrest/worldClass.html.
The model we got is the Adeline – found here: http://www.furniturelandde.com/proddetail.php?prod=BEDDING12.
The Simmons comes with a “Triton” foundation which is supposed to prevent sinking. The main thing I read online were complaints about sinking. I even bought a Consumer Reports account to find out what the best mattresses were, only to find out, they don't rate mattresses!! (Poo.)
Anyway, we also bought this antimicrobial cover to protect from sweat, dust mites, and allergens because if we put “unapproved” cleansers on the mattress, it could void our warranty... :P Though, the nice thing about this place we bought it from is that they are family/locally owned, and she told us if we had a problem in 30 days, they’d take the bed back and exchange it for something else.
The cost of the mattress was around $700 less than what another store quoted us. So we bought it.
As far as frames, there was a Bassett Furniture right next door. There are 2 we liked... one has an end piece and the other doesn’t. If we can make it there on Thursday the 22nd, we’ll get 25% off everything (Memorial Day Sale!) :)
1st one (low profile... easier for my short legs to crawl in): http://www.bassettfurniture.com/store/productDetailForm.asp?maxItems=30&imgid=908&Seq=26&stype=&mc=1&CatID=500&ItemId=120&SubItemId=-1&ColId=-1.
2nd one (also low profile, but this is the one I preferred because I like the end piece): http://www.bassettfurniture.com/store/productDetailForm.asp?maxItems=30&imgid=929&Seq=22&stype=&mc=1&CatID=500&ItemId=120&SubItemId=-1&ColId=-1.

I want to paint the walls a warm vanilla color. Think it would look good with that dark cherry finish.
Other than bedding and stuff... school's going ok & I'm ready for a new job. More pay and varied job tasks, PLEASE!!!
Oh yeah! And our landlord is selling the house to us. Yippy! We have a meeting with her on Tuesday to figure out all the details. It will be ours in December, I hope. :)
Well, that's all for now! Night!
