It is the most amazing and comforting thing to slip into an amazingly soft bed after a hard day of chasing kids. But unfortunately it makes it hard to get out of bed in the morning, so I have to make imaginary snow angels as I rub myself and hope that some of the luxury of my sheets will have made the dark circles under my eyes disappear before I get up.Stephanie Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14665381306583698029noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1361848895302797101.post-85237022049049842802008-08-09T22:26:00.000-06:002008-08-09T22:26:00.000-06:00I agree, Kristi, good sheets is the best ever. I ...I agree, Kristi, good sheets is the best ever. I buy my sheets at Kohls, and I think they are the luxor or something. . .but they are egyptian cotton and I don't remember the thread count. But, I do remember how much I love to lay in them. Especially when they are right out of the dryer and I've just shaved my legs.<BR/>One of my best purchases ever are my Reef sandals. Oh, how I love them. They are only $25 at I think Zumiez or Journeys and they are all I wore when I was in Europe last summer. I came home and bought another pair. . . not because they wore out, but because I wanted black and brown so I can wear them always. <BR/>One more thing: My PC Laptop. It was an outrageous price when I bought it ($2000) but my dad insisted (he should have paid, right?!) because of the awesome warranty, and I have had it now for 3 1/2 years and anytime I have an issue or need more hard drive or need a cleaning or anything, I take it in and they are so happy to see me. I think they are all hopped up on caffeine and video games, though, but still. Anyway. Remember how I'm typing on it right now while I'm watching the olympics? Good times. Sorry, Kris, I should have made my own post from this.

I thought it was a lot at the time, and I still do. However, that skirt is still in my closet, it is still dark black, and it still fits (it is kind of adjustable... need that when you are a changing woman, having babies and all). Best $ on clothes. Also, I think a good pair of jeans is important too. I am not one to spend more than $100 (umm my husband would FREAK) but I do spend about $68 and I only have one, but I LOVE them (silver jeans). One more thing. I really love Nordstrom's bras. Nice one, eh! They have a store brand bra that, during the Anniversary Sale (that just ended), is like $18 and I tell you, it is better than any other bra I have ever tried on (including Victoria's Secret). Plus Nordstrom has a fabulous return policy, so if you hate it, you can just take it back (unless they changed that, it has been a couple years since I have taken anything back there). I am sure I have more, but I will spare you :)Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03773176656636736545noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1361848895302797101.post-45119793246208877022008-08-08T13:50:00.000-06:002008-08-08T13:50:00.000-06:00where did you get your sheets?

I think it is going to be the best purchase ever! We are cutting a big huge hole in our house and putting a sliding glass door in, and then adding a nice deck out back!

And it was relatively cheap. OK, so not too cheap, but better than $100 or even the $45 second pillow we bought! Go to Bed Bath and Beyond, and look at their big huge square Euro Pillows! It was $25.00 and I say it is worth a million! I LOVE it and want to go get me one. I am jealous every single time I see Matthew lay his head down on that wonderful, soft, yet firm, heavenly pillow! OK, so maybe I'm overdoing it, but check it out, and you will see!Melissa Ashhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04207130392275410902noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1361848895302797101.post-75282714488017775132008-08-07T08:08:00.000-06:002008-08-07T08:08:00.000-06:00Remember me?

And in a month I'll be in Ohio.<BR/><BR/>Anyway, I think the best purchase I ever made was a large box of nice garbage bags - the kind with the colored plastic drawstrings. I bought them for $11 with part of a gift card for my wedding. They lasted a year and a half of garbages, and they were great. Silly, I know, but there you go.<BR/><BR/>Also, I have these pair of pants I bought seven years ago for $40 from Express (it was expensive then for me; heck, it's still expensive to me. I usually buy my clothes at DI), and I still wear them and love them even more than when I bought them. Funny thing, I bought a second pair that was exactly the same but for the color, and they only lasted me for two years.Thorahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04564924243186464304noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1361848895302797101.post-67495527993387852202008-08-06T19:21:00.000-06:002008-08-06T19:21:00.000-06:00I've always loved my wedding ring.

They are way more than I normally pay (about $100), but I've worn them for the past four years all over the place (Germany, hiking the Alps, Mexico, backpacking in Southern Utah). They are so comfortable and have lasted great, although they are starting to wear out. I figure I'll buy another pair when these die since I know I love them.Kristinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00046962656466025119noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1361848895302797101.post-14720714777316892772008-08-06T18:44:00.000-06:002008-08-06T18:44:00.000-06:00Try out the Indulgence pillows at Bed, Bath and Be...Try out the Indulgence pillows at Bed, Bath and Beyond.
