This morning I decided I hated my bed, but I do have to admit that occasionally not being able to get comfortable to sleep is probably not going to be cured by buying a new bed, especially when I'm jobless.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

We so need a new mattress. My parents bought us ours when I was pregnant with Jake. He turned 15 in September. No wonder it's beginning to sag.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Mine was only 10 or 11 years old, but it wasn't very good to begin with, and it's been through three moves, so it was definitely time.

I need to take Lee mattress shopping with me, clearly.
My mattress is only 8 years old, but it was really cheap mattress, and it's not very comfortable.

I probably need a new mattress. It's not going to happen until after I move at the end of March, though. And I'm sure the delivery guys who won't have to cart mattresses up to and down from my current third floor apartment would be very happy about this, if they knew. Anyway, I went shopping with someone else for their new mattress last summer and fell in love with the cushy soft mattresses in the store.

What is even happening?
Wow, I had no idea Britney was cracking up. I mean, she hasn't ever really seemed right, and since Federline came and then left, it's been worse, but I'm sort of worried for the girl. What the heck? Someone's got to step in there and help her out. She's a mess. [link]

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I just need to turn my mattress, but I need a big strong man - or woman - to help me do it. I can't lift the damn thing. I also need to replace three of the slats; they keep falling out. My grandfather made the bed, and he apparently measured the width only once.

We turn our mattress all the time. It's past the point of no return, I think. And I'm not suggesting anyone else keep their mattress so long! We should have bought a new one years ago.
Britney is ... really kind of sad, I think. And I feel even worse for her kids.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Hey, has anyone seen Metafilter today?
They want me to pay $5 to see it.

Go Lee, with your shop-fu! I wonder if I'll have time to shop monday (after working in 2 different theatres) while the sales are still on. It would probably help if I already knew what mattress I want. My current one is probably 20yrs old.

"Pharisee" is how some conspiracy nuts refer to rabbinic Judaism (i.e., pretty much the only form of Judaism existing today, except for the Karaites, but they're a teeny tiny population.)
