New Bedding!

Friday afternoon, I headed out to Dillards to buy some pillows for our guest room. While I was there, I called David to ask if he had any other requests from Dillards. He suggested that I get some bedding for our bedroom. I was a little apprehensive about picking something out by myself, but I was given the go-ahead. David said if he didn't like it, it would be his own fault.

The pattern that we had registered for had been discontinued, so I couldn't get that. I looked around for quite awhile, then found something else that I really liked. It's a beige & navy blue striped comforter, with a beige dust ruffle, beige pillow cases & sheets, and striped pillow shams. I was looking for a navy blue pillow to also go on the bed, however I couldn't find any. I did however, get hit in the head with a couple of other pillows that fell down from a shelf. Who else but me gets attacked by pillows?

I finally used up the remainder of our gift certificates buying all this stuff. Lugging it out to my car was really fun. It's not that they were heavy, it's just it was all so bulky. Luckily, I wasn't parked too far away.

When I got home, I decided to set up the bed, so it'd be ready when David got home. Putting on the dust ruffle was an interesting task. We have a queen sized mattress, which is quite heavy. I'd hold it with one arm, and shove the dust ruffle with the other. I was able to push the mattress around to put it on each side. It was really hard to get it in the right place. Next time, David is going to do it! I think our bed looks really good now, and David agreed! However, my arms & shoulders are still a little sore from moving the mattress. Oh well, I got a good workout.
