imagine....a pillow

this, ladies and gentle-readers, is what i bought myself last night.  yes, a 700 fill power down pillow.  i had to, you see.  and here's why:

sleeeeeeeep.........

what's so wrong with wanting to get a good night's rest?  i mean, really?  i buy these $10 pillows from target or walmart (or wherever!) and less than a few months later, i find myself in the same predicament- uncomfortable.  it's a constant battle.  i decided that it must be the price that i'm paying for.  after an extremely dreamy stay at the hampton inn in las vegas a few weeks back, i was completely convinced that i needed the pillow that caressed my sleepy head to sleep that night.  there was nothing. else. to it!  i slept so wonderfully that night.  yes, maybe a small portion may be attributed to the fact that i had no kids coughing in the backround, no person i had to share a bed with (i still love him, yes....but sometimes i want my own bed!) or the fact that i was dead tired.  perhaps!  but, i will say, that i found myself repeating over the following weeks, "i wish i had taken that pillow home with me!"

so as i'm putting clean sheets on our bed and pillows tonight, i'm staring at these sorry-looking, flat-ish and starting-to-yellow, pillows.  ick....i know.  stephen and i are wondering what happened to our pillows.  didn't we just buy them a few months ago?  sure felt like it!  so i'm reminiscing to him about my amazing pillow experience in vegas....again.  he's already heard it a few, and he was already zoning out while i droned on.  when suddenly!!!  POOF!  so off i ran to the computer.  tried to find out exactly what kind of pillows the hampton inn uses.  i found it.  i drooled.  i begged.  i bought.  

end of story.  happy me.  shipping this week!

haha, you're too funny! But I bet that pillow will make worlds of difference, and a good night's sleep is the best start to a good day!

good for you. nothing like a wonderful pillow. about 2 years ago kenton won a giftcard to potterybarn, and i figured well why not spend it on something we would never spend that much money for...so we bought each of us a $50 pillow. it was the best purchase ever and has actually lasted (which doesn't seem to happen with pillows in this house)!!!! i am happy to say i am still in love with my pillow, and i hope yours brings many wonderful nights of sleep.
