A Good Nights Sleep

What a difference a good nights sleep makes. We bought a new mattress this weekend. I cannot type the word "mattress" without playing the Mattress Disccounters commercial complete with the "leave the last s off for savings" every time (which means I have recited it three times in the last 15 seconds). I am now the proud owner of a brandy new King sized bed and it is heaven. We hit up Sleepy's in Plainville on Saturday for a test run, after enjoying a lunch of salads and beer over at Chilli's. The had us input some statistics and then lay on a bed that was hooked up to a computer. It spit out our sleep profile. The hubby and I fell into the same range as we are fairly close in size. I am a bit taller he is a bit heavier. After many a test run we decided on a Kingsdown cloud inner spring and it was delivered last night. The first thing I did was jump on it and do a bed angel given its enormity. I loaded up the bed with all the new bedding I purchased earlier (we upgraded from a queen so new linens we In order)in the day fresh from the dryer and then curled up with dogs and a my book. I had to peel myself out of that bed this morning to hit the gym and go to work. I am looking forward to climbing back in tonight for some free form lounge reading.



I am going to try to make an effort to post more often as I did before. Lately work and life have been consuming. Here is the latest state of the state to get everyone caught up in a quick minute:

• Two deaths since Christmas. One a relative and one a close friend's aunt. I have had enough with death in the past year so that is all I will say.


• New dog in da house!! I have been up to my eyeballs in puppy craziness the last month.


• I am slowing making my way back to a regular gym routine and healthy eating and it has been slow going but I am going. Recently toying with joining Weight Watchers...Hello my name is Elsie and I am a food addict (she imagines in her head)


• 6 of my girlfriend's are currently pregnant Yes six!! Deliveries begin in February and continue on through September of next year. This has caused me to double up on my birth control.


• Lots of football watching, football recap, Tom Brady exposes. I like the Patriots but I cannot wait for the season to be over.


• Fixed up a mutual guy friend of couple of weeks ago, watching to see how that love match pans out.


• Gotten in to a much better routing cleaning the house. Attempting as a NYR to actually clean the dishes after dinner before going to bed. This has helped to greatly improve my mood.


• Hubby is obsessed with TV Show Rescue Me. He has rented all the previous seasons from Netflix and that has pretty much consumed most of our joint viewing time for the past month.


• I am obsessed with the Biggest Loser. Go team blue!!


• Had date night last week to see 27 Dresses. Which way does your moral compass point?? Loved it!! I am a chick flick addict.


• also saw No Country for Old Men last week. I wasn't completely impressed. This may or may not be due to the full carafe of Sangria I drank beforehand at a lovely Mexican dinner. I think I may have dozed off a few times contributing to my indifference to the movie and its ending.


• Had dinner at a lovely new place called Restaurant 3 in Franklin to celebrate my friend's graduation. (too lazy to post a link) Food was yummy as was the wine :)


• Hiking for a couple of hours with pooches over the weekend, lots of fun.


• New Bed Purchased.

What time is it? Right Now.

What are you? This moment.



Now we are all caught up.
