Mwaahahaha! My giant monster bed conquers all!

[merimask]

OMG I have a GIGANTIC BED NOW and it is incredible.

It's HUGE...I think that mattress is about 18 inches thick, double-sided, rated to last for twenty years, and made of cloudstuff.  When they assembled the whole thing last night it was a little shocking because it was at least a foot higher than the old bed.  At first I kind of felt "perched" up there and the ceiling seemed too close, but I tell you it was SO much fun to get out of bed this morning because I just swung my feet over the edge and POP I was standing just like that with almost no effort.  I stood there stunned for a bit by how wonderfully easy it all was...one second I'm asleep and the next I'm on my feet and wide awake.  Amazing!

And I sprawled last night!  And it was fine!  And this morning nothing hurts!  Usually I ache when I get up, at least until the coffee kicks in.  But not today...today I feel great!  I only had 4 hours of sleep, too (was up late again...heh...Okami) but I feel like I had a full night's rest.

BTW I know where old shoes go to die now.  They were all underneath my old bed.  It was hilarious because when we pulled off the old mattress and box to clean up before the movers came, there was a perfect bed-shaped rectangle of debris beneath consisting of old shoes and various...things.  Ghosts of kitties past.   A couple of hairballs that were Claudia-colored.  Poor old kitty.  I miss her but I really don't miss the hairballs.  Long-haired cats are messy messy critters.

Haha!  Blackmail Halloween photos!

Char is the cutest pirate ever!  Isn't this adorable??  I got the skirt, headscarf, and shirt as separate pieces from Party City and the rest is stuff we had laying about.   Those are my sexy 200.00 boots from the 80's when I used to KICK ASS.  So glad I held on to those.  :-)  You can sort of see...she's wearing a parrot earring I got for her in Costa Rica.  One parrot earring!!  Her idea.  Isn't that just so CUTE?


Of course we had to have Kiba in a picture too.  And of course he got all wound up and howled 'cause he loves the attention.

"Awwwoooo!" sez the dog. 

And just to be fair, here's a birthday picture of me.  With the cake.  As promised.

The humiliation is now complete.  :-)

Also...who was it on my F-list who said that I was going to Loooove the high speed cable...but if I ever lost it for some reason it would really SUCK?  Because haha!  You're right!  Screw you, Time Warner...screw you and your craptacular cable modem that is blinking and winking and not working.  Arggggh!  Dial up again...nooooo!   I have lost my coping skills and I'm just sitting here fidgeting and frothing while I wait for photobucket to load three lousy pictures and it took almost TEN MINUTES and I'll never get those minutes back...*sob*

Anyway, it's a good thing we kept the option to retain the dial-up link or we'd be SOL until some time next week, when Time Warner gets around to giving us a new craptastic modem.  *sigh*  Greg's looking into buying our own, today.  Deliver us from evil cable conglomerates and their crappy hardware, Best Buy!  *praying*
