between the sheets

feels oh so good! while we were up in the evergreens over christmas, we slept in the softest-sheeted bed. as soon as we were back home (and with the excess from student loans taking up space in our bank acct), i asked erica the who/what/where/why/when/how about those sheets. three days later...the tag was too washed-out to know for sure. something about linens 'n things (now defunct) and 700 or 800tc. thanks, sister. thanks a lot. so i did some sleuthing. the fig and i ventured to infinity and beyond (or bed bath whatever) and gave all the sheets there a good feeling-up. anything over 500 and mor feels like he's slipping sleeping on slime. anything under 300 and i feel like there is no need for expensive razors. compromise...drumroll please...costco! der. the perfect blend of cotton and sateen, 400tc, 17in deep (very important with the memory foam mattress topper, trust me), bleachable white sheets. with 4 pillowcases. who even needs 4 pillowcases?! we do. as soon as i head to target (for only the fourth time this week) and grab us lucky #4.
also to be mentioned, finn AND penny got new bedding too! comfy cuteness all around! two different $3 crib sheets covered in cars, trucks, planes and "copters" plus a new matching baby for the baby, and a new kennel insert for ms penelope jones. no more torn apart old bath towels for that lady, nuh-uh. only the best (that $10 will buy) for my girl.
