Where's my bed?!?!

So I'm long overdue for a new bed. I currently have an Ikea bed, the frame and mattress are from Ikea. I love Ikea, they have great prices and their products are getting more stylish and the quality, well it's not the best but you get what you pay for. I've had this bed for about 9 years - I think it's time for an upgrade.

I had my heart set on a Hastens bed, my dream bed!! They are quite expensive but I've researched the bed and gave it some thought for many years. (OK so I thought about it for many years mainly because I couldn't afford it when I first found out about it, but at least I can say I have put some thought into it!) The quality of these beds are outstanding, they are guaranteed for 25 years, they are hand made, they are made of all natural materials (no bed bugs!!!), they are even the purveyor for the Swedish Royal Court! I finally went to the Hastens store and got a price list. Again, they are extremely expensive but it was my lucky day - August Dream Sale or whatever it was called, I don't care they were offering 30% off (all items in stock)! So I asked the sales girl when the promotion was over and again, it was my lucky day, I was there on the final day of the promotion. Of course, I didn't buy one then and there, I still had to think about it. So before I left, the sales girl, Lily, tells me it's possible they may extend the promotion, so I gave her my email address. A couple days later I get an email from Lily, the promotion is extended til the end of the month!! So I emailed her and inquired about a queen size Naturally bed in silver check - I couldn't believe how close I was to purchasing not only a new bed but my DREAM BED. To make this already long, but still ongoing, story shorter, the promotion didn't include the Naturally model beds, she offers me a queen size adjustable bed, "Would you at all be interested in an adjustable bed? We have a Queen Naturally floor model available. It is originally $10,700." Yeah, what's 30% off $10,000?!?!. poopoo on her and her Hastens adjustable $10,000, but only $7,000 with the discount, beds!! I don't even want an adjustable bed, how old am I? 75??

So I decided to go with a W Hotel bed (suggested by Kat, THANKS!). I figured if the beds in the hotels I've stayed in are more comfortable than my bed then a W bed had to be super comfy and they were offering 30% off ALL beds. I ordered the bed Sept. 1, everything was great. 30% off, free shipping and no tax - I was amazed. Well I'm obviously getting what I paid for in shipping because I am still waiting on the delivery of my new bed. Shipping was estimated at 2-3 weeks. I finally called last week and was told the order is still good but the delivery is behind so it'll be more like 3 weeks. So I wait...

Halloween is here!

There aren't many things better than a chocolate covered Marshmallow. The soft squishy texture of the marshmallow combined with a firm outer shell of dark chocolate (my preference) is illuminating. Russell Stover seems to take the cake on this particular treat. I have tried many others but R.S. definitely has it down. And just in time for Halloween, they have come out with Chocolate Covered Marshmallow Pumpkins in dark and milk chocolate. THANK YOU.
