Here's another week-end mostly down the tubes. I can't believe we're almost halfway through February. This year is barreling on.
I cleaned up the house a little yesterday, watched Across the Universe, which was great, and then when Steven got in, we headed to IKEA since we were bored and IKEA is cheap entertainment. Also because we were almost out of napkins and I really love the IKEA ones. We also bought a cheap pillow and a spare blanket for when we have guests because we had to throw out our old blankets. I also wanted to look at area rugs and lighting because there is nothing I love more than Swedish furniture.
What we ended up doing was looking at mattresses.
( Gross bed story! )
When we priced out a mattress there, for about the same amount, we could get a new mattress, a frame, and the slats. I'm sort of leaning towards just replacing the whole thing because, really, our bed is almost a decade old. It's probably time.
So, flist, does anyone have an IKEA mattress? Are they any good or will our backs both implode if we do this?
Today looks like another blah day. The weather is having a case of MPD. We managed to get rain, snow, and sun in the span of about 20 minutes and it's starting to get dark outside again. We had snow last night which was fairly heavy in spurts and the lying weathermen are predicting we're going to get thundersnow this afternoon. I love me some New England weather. Isn't it spring yet?
I finally used some of my Snowcake stash today and I think I finally found the one soap from Lush that doesn't make my skin want to whimper liked a kicked puppy. It doesn't give me that sticky, tight feeling that most soap does. I wish the smell would linger a little longer and be a bit stronger, but them's the breaks. Up close, I can smell it faintly off my skin, but it smells more just non-descript clean than like marzipan as it does in the shower.
Only one more week till vacation and a week of feverishly doing artwork for my portfolio that I should have done, oh, three or four months ago.
