That damned learning search engine! You can never get the same results twice.
I was running a search for some stock photography to replace the 'eyes' picture GMAN took of me. I have an idea for what I want, but it involves shopping, logistics and GMan and I having a few minutes to laugh our asses off....so coming soon!
Anyway, this guy's myspace came up when I did this particularly unusual group of search words in Google images. OF COURSE, I had to drop him a note that google had grouped him in this unusual set of sites, 'cause I thought it was funny. OF COURSE, neither he nor I can replicate the results, so he probably thinks I'm a nut case. I had to explain what I was doing and why....
Google is evil!
6 Months
For those of you who are counting, yesterday marked the 180th day since STBX moved out for the last time. In Maryland, you have to live apart for a full year before you can even file papers. So, we're in the home stretch. I can exhale a little, and thank him for it. Thank you, too for keeping me sane while I wait, patiently, even when the going is hard and slow, but with a spirit of blazing, serene hope. (yes I lifted from that quote I keep using over and over again from Corazon Aquino--it is hanging on my computer and it keeps me from climbing the walls just about every single day)
New Bed
Karateboy memorized the infomercial for the Tempurpedic (sic?) sleep system years ago. Nothing funnier than saying to no one in particular, "I didn't sleep so well last night", and having your 4 year old pipe up, "That's because your sleeping on an old fashioned mattress" and proceed to repeat the whole infomercial.
So, he needs a new mattress, and I haven't purchased one because of theexpense of the Tempurpedic. STBX said at Christmas that he would buy him the mattress cover, which is still $100, but beats the $800 for a whole new mattress. Karateboy has decided to sleep on his floor.
Last night, Karateboy, Tippytornado and I had some time to kill at the mall. We wandered into JCPennys and proceeded to 'test' all the beds. We had an EXCELLENT time with no sales people, no other shoppers, just us and 10 beds. Personally, I want the Temurpedic style bed. Even the 'air' bed wasn't nearly as comfy.
The bonus was the time spent playing like an 8 year old with my favorite people in the whole wide world.

I think that our next bed is going to be a sleep number bed. (Cause that is what my chiropractor recommended) My in-laws have a Temurpedic bed, I have laid on it, but not slept on it. (They swear by it).
Good luck with that. I can just imagine the three of you hopping about on the beds. KB analyzing the jumping potential of each, using TT as a counter weight.
I have a tempurpedic pillow that I can NOT sleep without, also a chiropractor recommendation. I have tested the mattress, and it's VERY comfortable, but it concerns me not only that it is $4000 for a king, but that it doesn't have the spring of a traditional mattress... and spring is needed for certain activities, like jumping on the bed for example. ;) I guess I just wonder how it would work for,... you know, *other* activities?
I wonder if JCPenny would let me bring in someone to test that extra functionality, Lauren???
I guess we'd have to move it somewhere else.
I feel for KB since I have a Sleep Number Bed and cannot live without it.
And congrats on the homestretch!
(P.S. G-Man - I have slept on a Tempurpedic and it was really nice, but the total plus for us with the Sleep Number Bed is that Bryan and I are the quintessential SNB commercial. I am a 35 and he an 80. Email me if you want more details.)
I have a tempurpedic! Love it, love it! LOVE IT! I cannot sleep anywhere else now, its just not the same.
Good luck and you can do it! 6 mths down, just 6 more to go.
Hugs!
I really want one of those tempurpedic mattresses too. But I'll probably end up doing the cover thing as well :-/ I love my four-post king -- but mattresses for the thing are really not cheap.
And can ANYBODY tell me how to find an OLD FASHIONED search engine?!! ALL GOOGLE SHOWS YOU ARE STUPID LIST SITES WHERE LIST BOTS COMPILE USELESS LISTS USING YOUR SEARCH WORDS! I WANT A SINGLE GODDAMNED RETURN FOR EACH SINGLE SITE THAT MATCHES MY SEARCH CRITERIA! I DON'T WANT BULLSHIT LIST SITES!!! THEY'RE UTTERLY USELESS!!!
*pant pant*
Sorry ... your Google woes reminded me of my own :-/
awww. Good times with you kiddos!!! Aren't the simplest outings the very best sometimes? Have a very happy Easter.
AND yay on the home stretch. Not easy times, I know!!!
I want a sleep number bed.
Seems like the fancy beds really are the best. I just have the topper and pillows. J..C Penny's, no salespeople and beds to play on. That made a memory!
