Sell me a mattress

Today the Bonners crossed another activity off our life lists: we went mattress shopping. There cannot be a more awkward shopping experience. You spend your time laying on different types of mattresses that who knows how many people have laid on before you all while being watched by the incessantly talkative salesperson. You shift, turn, look at your spouse, and think, "Now, what did the other one feel like?" We tried a Tempurpedic matress set up on an adjustable frame. The salesperson lifted our feet, then our heads. You already feel like you are possibly being manipulated by salespeople, then they take it to a new level by craddling you in the comfort of "speciality bedding."

Johnathan is almost done with school and his time at Sweet Home High School is coming to a close. Last week was full of end of the year events like senior awardsnight, baccalaureate, graduation, and the all night senior party. This week will be a quiet one filled with purging and packing his room. We are getting ready at home by purging and packing too. Our living room is a grand garage sale mess. If anyone wants to put our garage sale date on the calendar it's June 27th.
