So, for the past couple of weeks Amy and I have gone bed shopping.  We’ve never owned a new bed together.  Not since we’ve been married.  When Amy moved to Arizona our co-worker, Matt, gave her a hand-me-down kingsize bed.  I think it was a hand-me-down to him, which makes it doubly so for Amy.  And maybe triply so when Amy and I got married a few years later.  Well, anyway, this bed is old and not so awesome.  As we’ve been bed shopping, Amy kept talking about how we need a bed that we can make forts in.  She wanted a four-poster bed because obviously it would be easier to build a fort with those posts all ready to hang blankets and “Keep Out” signs from.  I was being all-business and saying we should just get a simple bed (I should remember to always listen to Amy whenever she gets that mischievous Anne Shirley look in her eye) blah blah blah blah blah.  I am such a drag sometimes.  But then I had this brilliant idea about bunkbeds.  Why not get a kingsize bunkbed, with a queensize on top?  That way we would have all the space we needed on the bottom for sleeping, and up top we could put a dining room table or a couch and a television or a television and a bunch of video game consoles.  I mean, we have all this vertical space that we aren’t using if we buy a simple bed frame that sits low, it’s just a waste.  Well,  I guess they don’t really make bunkbeds for adults that are king & queen and you can have video game tournaments on top….so we bought a nice simple king frame from Crate & Barrel and a mattress from Sit & Sleep.  I think we can still make forts with this bed.  We’re definitely gonna try it.

Currently Listening to:  The Cars – The Cars (1978) LP

Wow, how many great songs does this debut record have?  “Just What I Needed”, “My Best Friend’s Girl”, “Bye Bye Love”, “You’re All I’ve Got Tonight”, “Good Times Roll” ……I swear if I didn’t know that Roy Thomas Baker produced this record (he also did Queen’s masterpieces as well) I would think that Todd Rundgren had a hand in it, listening to the gorgeous melodies, maybe that’s why he went on to front the Cars when they reunited a couple years ago
