I took a day off today.

I am getting ready for a Christmas dinner party at my parents’ house. I will bring disposable party supplies.

Construction papers are a Christmas gift for my niece. Those will go well with the colored pens I bought earlier.

I treated myself with a fancy shower robe. The quality of this robe is amazing. It’s a Costco quality.

I bought an extra set of bedsheets set. This is a part of my “Buying new bed” project. My new bed is too warm with flannel sheets right now. I hope these 600 thread count Supima cotton sheets will cool me down a little. This was a totally unexpected extra expense of $69.99. I have blind faith that $69.99 is a very good price for queen-size bedsheets of this quality.

I spent about $180.00 today

Beer and chocolate are for the Christmas party tomorrow. 

The Box of pens (84 colors) is for my niece.

Samsonite’s wheeled duffel was only $39.99. I am planning to go to Hawaii next year.

I had to buy more chicken soup just in case I catch a cold again.

I liked the pillows so much that I had to buy one more set.

The mattress was vacuum packed and squeezed into a smaller box so it’s easier to ship. The box could fit in the back seat of my car. I borrowed a dolly from work to transport this 98 lb box. But I could have done it without the dolly.

NovaForm® Pure Comfort Grand – Vacuum Package

Package comes with opening instruction & a letter opener

Memory foam mattress expending from vacuum – still folded in half

The mattress already had a protective cover on it.

The mattress was fully expanded in 10-20 minutes. I didn’t have to wait 72 hours. And there were no bumps or irregular corners. I smelled chemicals at first, but it was not bad.

** 10 months later (October 15, 2009). I can tell you without a doubt that I love my mattress.  I am very happy with my mattress.
