I asked eo if for our next anniversary, he could get us new bedding.  I wanted something pretty.  I really don't like the dark brown comforter he got last time.  I wanted to get one that was different than what we have & had and i wanted it to be pretty.  But as I thought about it, I thought, I really wanted it to match my curtains ...and the curtains match the paint real well, plus it needed to work with the carpet, and still be pretty. And I realized I didn't want something "busy", because we have so much stuff in here, there is plenty of "busy" already.  Needless to say, eo wanted me to pick something out.
 
So he said, why not do some on line shopping and get one now.   So after searching for a few days, I found one at JCP that was 60% off, plus I had a coupon for an additional 15% off.  It is a 10 piece set, besides the comforter & dust ruffle, it had 2 reg. shams & 2 euor shams and 4 throw pillows.  It is different yet the same.  I didn't really want it to be the same type of "moleskin" type fabric, but for it to suit all my requirements it couldn't be helped.  When I saw this set, I just new it was the one. 

I also ordered a set of sheets, that ended up being "satin like".  But they are not too slippery so the bedding stays on the bed.  I love satin, in fact, I had many satin quilts & comforters over the years, but that was when I had my water bed, and I could tuck the sides in, and I didn't have to worry about them falling off the bed. 

I did order 2 euro pillows that are alternative down.  I really like them ALOT, they feel like they would be down pillows, but they are not.  Needless to say, with all the pillows, our bed is so super comfy!

Having Latae in the house though, I put a sheet on top of the bed to keep her hair off of the bedding.  She spends most of her time with Steph, but when Steph is gone then she wants to be on my bed, so I keep the sheet nearby for her. 
Lauren has been developing a rash when she sits on anything with cat hair.  So yet another reason for keeping the new bedding protected.

It is nice to having something pretty in our room again.  I've missed that.  the deer heads are getting old.  I do have too much clutter, and I would like to remove more of it.  I don't want to fill up Colton's room if he decides to move back. but it looks pretty much like he is going to not move back.   Although it isn't easy, he is trying to grow up and take care of himself the best that he can. 

I am so tired.  i wish i felt better.  i have had the "runs" for the past 3 days.  i wish that would quit.  I can't figure out what is triggering it.  I started drinking almond milk (for over a week) vs. soy, but i ran out the other day, so I don't think it is that as i am still having trouble.  I really haven't been eating anything different.  I do like the almond milk a lot more, but, it has double the fat & calories as soy, so I figured i would alternate the two.

im tired of not feeling good.

i need a hair cut, the last time my hair was this long i had just had Colton.  I've just felt so poorly i haven't been up to cutting it.  i haven't been up to having someone else cut it either.  thus the reason i have not been going to dr. apts. or anyplace else for that matter.

speaking of dr.s  my mom's dr. walked out on her today and told her to find another doctor.  after her pre-op, my mom asked the dr. why she put in her record that she didn't have allergies that her asthma is only triggered by anxiety.  The dr. said "because it is".   then she said, what about the specialists that have said she does have allergies.  the dr. said, well she has allergies but it is also anxiety.  Then she asked, why did she say she is suicidal, afraid of people & depressed.  the doctor said, "i never said that".  my mom said, according the my records you did.  She said, I have a letter here of 54 people who say I am not depressed, afraid of people or suicidal.  The doctor said  "i never said that, and I think you need to find yourself another doctor".  and she walked out on my mom.  the dr. just left.  this isn't the first time that dr. has caused trouble.  she is a pill pusher and even when the specialist say, don't take that meds she prescribed that that doctor should know better than to prescribe this for your condition.  my mom goes back, tells the doctor what the specialists have said, and says things like, "ignore them" or 'can't win them all".  it is very odd. 
so my mom went to the receptionist to ask her what to do because she had another exam with her in January, and the receptionist said, we will cancel it, and handed her a form to file a complaint with the hospital about her.  My mom didn't even ask about filing a complaint, the lady said she needed to.  interesting.
