After sleeping for one week on my new tempurpedic mattress, I have gotten up every morning without aches and pains, little "creaks," and I feel wonderfully refreshed. I never remember sleeping so comfortably in my life! What great friends to give us their tempurpedic mattress!
I really like to sleep. I don't get the opportunity to sleep as late as I want often-maybe 4 times a year-but when I do I sleep until noon. A comfy bed is important for a good sleep. My bed is comfy, but I have wanted a Tempurpedic mattress for a long time.
A Tempurpedic mattress is quite possibly the most comfortable thing I have ever slept on. I slept on one twice, at a rental we had once. It was like heaven. Best sleep I ever had.
I had been wanting to try one since I first tried one out about 12 years ago. The mall store, Brookstone, carries them and I remember laying down on one in the store for like twenty minutes. The sales people were a little agitated, but I managed to have quite a nap! The reason I have yet to purchase one is the price. You'll spend over FIVE GRAND on a Tempurpedic mattress in a traditional furniture store. That's a lot of hot dogs!
Now I may actually be able to drop the dime on a Tempurpedic mattress. Angel Beds has the same NASA foam technology in their mattresses as a Tempurpedic mattress for less than half the price of a Tempurpedic mattress. They're a solid company too. They are one of the top 500 internet retailers several years running and an Inc. 500 company too. They'll even arrange to have your bed set up for you!
Everyone knows I HATE shopping. Buying online has become almost a religious experience for me. Now that I know I can get a Tempurpedic mattress online, I may be doing a LOT MORE SLEEPING!
When you see a post title like that, you'd think I've whisked off to some gorgeous, warm and sunny spot to sip umbrella drinks on a beach.
Not the case.
At about 5 AM this morning, my wife and FIVE kids hopped into the airport to catch a flight to sunny Florida. They'll be spending the April School vacation week at my folks' house swimming and fishing and going to Busch Gardens and having a general grand old time.
I will be home. Alone. Just me and the dog.
So who is really on vacation here? My wife with 5 kids (ages 2-14) in Florida or me?
I AM ON VACATION! For an entire week, I will do what I want to when I want to (except when I am at the Hot Dog Truck) without a care about baseball schedules, soccer schedules, potty training (for the 2 year old, not my wife), dinner menus, school functions, etc.
I will watch the Red Sox game every night without the standard "Isn't there any thing else on?"
I will sit around in my underwear drinking Guiness without a care.
I will fiddle on the computer without having to give it up for homework.
I will sleep an extra hour and a half per day and I'll sleep til noon on the weekends!
I will miss my wife and kids. I love them dearly.
But I WILL enjoy my vacation!
