“You can own a cutting-edge sleep system that boasts the most high-tech features available in bedding today.  However, if you don't have quality sheets you are still going to find yourself tossing and turning all night long.  The higher the number thread-count the better the sheets are.  These high thread count sheets are also called percale.  A sheet set has to have at least 100 to be considered percale.”

“Why bother getting up early and listening to the painfully slow plunking of the automatic drip coffee maker as it slowly made my desperately needed coffee one drop at a time?  Why bother with the measuring of ingredients, which an automatic coffee maker requires.  It seemed to me like I would always have too much coffee or too little, and then would have to deal with the leftovers later.  But with instant coffee, I could have exactly how much I wanted right away.”

“The first lava lamps came in a pretty basic style—colored lava suspended in clear liquid, or oil.  The lava settles at the bottom of the lamp when the lava lamp is not on, but as soon as the lamp is clicked on the lava in the bottom begins to heat and slowly floats to the top.  It can take up to thirty minutes for lava lamps to fully heat up and reach optimal temperature, and in this time the lava does not rise or bubble in a uniform pattern, rather it slowly dances and stretches inside the lamp.”

“The mattress covers can be bought online or at any number of retail stores across the country.  I discovered the values of a mattress cover a couple of years ago, but it took me awhile to find the right one.  I originally bought a down mattress topper, but I found that the ones in my price range had much to be desired.  The mattress topper made the bed feel so soft and comfortable that I just thought it was the most magnificent thing on earth.”

“That sort of implies that I am a dude – I am not.  I don't watch football, I don't like to sock my friends in the arm unless they really have it coming, and I do not really have any trouble talking about my feelings.  It is just that, well, if it is a difference between living in squalor and taking the time to clean up and decorate my room, 9 times out of 10 I will chose the squalor.”

“My next stop was a retail giant store that boasts one stop shopping.  You can usually find quality items at this kind of store at relatively cheap prices.  I found an attractive king size quilt at this one stop shopping store only to run into the same exact problem when I arrived home.  This time the edges of the quilting fabric lay just below the mattress.”

“During the night when the room is dark the volume is much lower than when there is light on in the room.  After a period of time we did not even notice the bird clock chirping on the top of each hour, because we were used to it.  Even the cats lost their curiosity for the clock.  Once we had purchased the bird clock we noticed that there were several varieties of similar clocks.”

“Most of the objects are probably worthless; then again, sometimes they are very valuable.  My husband and I were pleasantly surprised to find a black wrought iron bed in the attic of our new home.  The iron bed is in perfect condition and it is absolutely beautiful.  It looks very old and I do think that it is an antique.  The value of it is not so important because I have no plans for selling it.”
