the couple de casa is going king size…and not only when it comes down to mrs. de casa…that’s right…we’ve live 10 years with a queen-sized bed of questionable support. Yeah, we’ve decided that at this point in time of our lives, we deserve a nice big ol’ king-sized bed.
and yes, i have read where a king-sized bed is the final nail in the coffin of intimacy…yet, somehow, knowing my husband, I’m not that worried about that. Knowing my husband, all I can see is that he will see this upgrade in bedding as 16 more inches to play with. Granted, my bedside table is going to have to sit up against the wall, but, hey, i have 8 inches more to sleep on…ON A SERTA PILLOWTOP EURO-SOMETHING MATTRESS.
So…?
I say bring on the extra space and if we meet in the middle, for say…fun time…then all the better for us.
Bottom line is this…we both came into this marriage 10 years ago with nothing…Well, not NOTHING…I did have one spatula and one cookie sheet and one casserole dish, and one sofa that I paid 100 bucks for, and one borrowed queen-sized bed…and Rob came with the cast-offs from his deal…so, to us, going all balls out and getting outselves a really nice mattress set in honor of our 10th anniversary seems very appropriate.
Whatever the hell it cost…and for the first time in a bit, we got it to spend, so bring on the king, baby…
we’ll work out the middle action after we get it.
Our first purchase with the money we got from our wedding was a king-size bed. And we love our king- size bed. Because now there’s invariably a kid or a dog squeezing in there. So nice to have room to have the whole family in the bed.
I’d like to do the same on my 10th wedding anniversary (next April), but I have a feeling I’m going to have to buy a new mattress and blow a ton of cash on a trip to somewhere exotic.
Adding: our palace isn’t big enough for a king-size bed, so we’ll hafta stick to a queen.
oh trust me, it’s going to dang near be all bed in there when we get it…unless we restage the whole thing, which will then mean redoing the surround sound…
and i don’t know that i wanna mess with all that just yet
