I'm finally get a new bed. My old mattress was kinda cheap and is 7 years old at this point. I was going to try and pick up a new king size mattress, but the extra space necessary just wasn't going to work in the current layout of my bedroom. I thought about moving stuff around, but it's really not worth it at this point, so a queen for now will do.

I was kinda afraid of the whole mattress shopping thing because I know nothing about mattresses and the industry scares me. It's next-to impossible to comparison shop because each place has different names to the same models. Plus, mattresses can range anywhere from $500-$3000+. My parents have been buying their mattresses from the same place for many, many years, so last weekend while I was up there with Sandi visiting , we tried out a bunch of them and found one we both liked. My new Sealy Posturepedic Cherished Pillowtop mattress arrives on Monday.

After I get the new bed, I need to finish throwing out stuff in my living room so I can get started on my long overdue and long talked about remodeling project for that room. I'm excited, but I got way too much junk I need to get rid of.
