Ok, here it is, 12:09 AM, and I am blogging. What a nerd--I ought to be in bed. But Mike is gone, and here we are. I was just thinking about a funny addiction I have. I love new bedding. To me, there is just about nothing better than a nice new set of sheets! (Freshly out of the dryer is pretty good too) But I also love new comforters. One time Mike took a picture of our kids on our bed to work, and one of the girls said "How often does your wife get new bedding?! Last time I saw a picture of your bed you had a different blanket." Funny, but true. I get an itch, and I can't stop looking online for sales ( I hate paying full price for anything!) I want to get Bailey a new bed set too, so it's twice as bad. I bought what I thought was a new Duvet set off of Wal*Mart's website about 6 months or so ago, but when I got it it was only a duvet cover, not the actual duvet. And when I put in on the down comforter I already had, and put it on my bed, much too small. We bought a nice, highly pillow top mattress when I was pregnant with Kyle (LOVE IT!!) But it is really high (My mom has a hard time getting up to sit on it when she is here) And the duvet I bought barely covers the top, and NONE of the sides, which really bugs me! I love the print and all, but cannot stand that it doesn't fit right. So I am on the quest again. Tonight I was crazy enough to take the kids out (they were seriously suffering from Cabin Fever) We went to McDonalds playplace, and then ventured to Kohls. There was a sale on Luggage (60% off) and Mike has been dying for new luggage with all of his travelling. We have not purchased luggage in our entire marriage, so I broke down and bought a set. It ended up 70% off with my handy Kohls coupon, and now we are the proud owners of a 7 piece luggage set. But it was AWEFUL trying to shop with the kids--especially since I had my double stroller, and then had to wheel the huge ol' luggage out. I am sure people thought I was crazy, but I KNOW I am, so no loss there. I also broke down and bought me a pair of shoes I have been wanting for months, but waited and waited until they went on sale 50% off (again--I LOVE Kohls--if you haven't been, you need to. My sister hates it, because she doesn't have one super close to her, and just about everytime she asks where I got something I say "Kohls!") I actually bought 2 pairs, one in black & one in brown. (50% off means that's ok--right?) OK, well there's my random, midnight blog for you all to enjoy!

i'm glad i'm not the only super thrifty shopper out there. my hubby hates that i can't pass up a good deal. But it pays off when you get two pairs of anything for the price of one.
I just always smile at Darrin and say "But honey! Just think of all the money we just saved!!!" He smiles back. He's the one who taught me how to shop. I was never a shopper until he came along.
LOL I love it!!! I love great deals! And I love Kohls too and I miss it being close! That and target I miss soooo much! I'm glad you got your new shoes! They are so cute!
We need to go shopping together, We think the same way :)
Cute shoes! They look comfy too, which is very important when chasing around kids. When are we going to have a SSL Reunion?
