400 Thread Count Heaven

Yesterday we went to Target. I had a $65 gift certificate from my birthday to use and I needed new sheets. I gave my "broken in" white ones to Carole when they were in Colorado because the sheets at their apartment were horrible. So...I was in need of new white ones.

Now, Nathan could really care less about the kind of sheets we have. But I care. I don't want to feel like I am sleeping on sand paper. I have NEVER bought 400 thread count sheets before. Usually I settle for something less and break them in by washing them alot.

But I had a free $65 to use...and Nathan said that we had plenty of money left this month for me to splurge on awesome sheets. Of course, since he wasn't REALLY paying attention to me he didn't realize just how much extra we were talking. I figure that is HIS fault!

I decided to splurge because of a magazine article I read once in Real Simple (my favorite magazine). It talked about having a mini-vacation every day and one way to do that was to buy really great sheets. I decided that now is the time. I mean, how often do you really NEED to buy new sheets...AND....next summer after we get married we are seriously thinking about beginning our family....and once we get pregnant and then have the baby I sure won't be aloud to spend almost $100 on sheets for the bed....SO...I have my sheets!

And let me just say...that 400 Thread Count is WONDERFUL!!! They are so soft...like I have washed them a million times. So...even though I spent a fortune for them...I really think it is worth it. Therefore, I plan to enjoy every wonderful moment in my sheets and not feel one bit guilty!!!
