New mattress for a little while

Because be is the best and loves me to bits and pieces. And also she didn’t like me being grumpy because I didn’t get any sleep. But mostly the first thing.

Boxed up

The mattress came shrinkwrapped in a box about the size of a mini-fridge. It weighed 64 pounds and was a bit mushy, so getting it out of the box was the first adventure.

Packed, but on the box springs

It said to put the mattress on the bed, then cut off the outer bags. So I did. Except I looked carefully at the diagrams and it didn't show which way was up--the mattress was folded in half and then shrink-wrapped into a 'W' shape, and in one diagram, it was drawn with the bed sides pointing up (W) and one with the bed sides pointing down (M) so I just went with "Serta label up."

Inflating...

As soon as the bag was cut off, the mattress started to suck in air with a "Woooooshing" sound... I managed to grab the camera and snap one quick picture before it finished flopping over. And of course... it was upside-down.

Right-side up

The new mattress right-side up! The instructions say it can take three days to fully regain its shape.

It remembered my hand!

Now that's memory foam!

 

Fish Taco Friday!

Fish Tacos

Clockwise from right: fish tacos, salsa, jalapenos, a guacamole taco and chips. Tartar sauce is in the middle but I don't touch it usually... not that I have anything against it... just prefer the salsa for these.

Standard nachos

The standard nachos, which I also ate, because I'm a piggy... chips, cheese, and jalapenos

Deluxe nachos

Brian got the deluxe nachos except no guacamole and double sour cream. No, I can't defend that decision. He just did.
