Rotten Day & New Fluffy Pillows


Super crappy day at work.  I’m so glad I’m home.  You know how your day can start immediately just entirely not in your favor and it seems like a bazillion little things keep going wrong, which seem to all add up to a giant bag of suck by the end of the day?  That was my day.  Blech!

I DID have snail pizza before my Louisville trip a few weeks ago (see pic on previous post).  Complete with bacon and onions and lots of bleu cheese and of course, snails.  It was one of the best pizzas I’ve ever had.  The snails, although I admit I was a bit hesitant initially, were sauteed in garlic and onions and bacon and wine and they just tasted delicious with the contrast of the bleu cheese.  Yum!

Last night I bought new pillows.  I was out running errands and while overhearing someone in a department store say they were shopping for new pillows. I thought, well, that sounds like a terrific idea.  I’ve actually been in the market for new pillows for awhile now, so I went ahead and did it.  And they are TERRIFIC!   My head and neck felt phenomenal this morning and needless to say I did not want to get up this morning for a 7:00 meeting!  Tonight on my way home I went to Target to get those hypo-allergenic pillow covers that are supposed to protect a pillow from allergens, dust mites (or bed mites or whatever they are called - gross!) and moisture.  I guess I’ve been watching Oprah and Dr. Oz too much, have you seen how nasty those bed mite things are?  Someone recently told me that a mattress’s weight doubles over it’s lifetime due to bed mites and dead skin.  I don’t know if this is true, but it’s enough to freak me out and start with getting pillow covers!

Just finished paying my bills, already in my pj’s, and I think it’s time to sit on the couch, pop in a movie (Sunshine Cleaning) and forget that today ever happened.

  1. Sorry about your day. New pillows sound dreamy. Hey is your blog a WordPress site? Mine won’t work. I’ve been trying to blog all week.

    Yes it’s WordPress. I wondered why you hadn’t posted lately. Hope you get it fixed!

  3. We recently got new pillows, too. I got two different kinds, then I traded Terry because I liked his better. I think I did that last time, too. :0)

    Ok, so the snail pizza sounds better than it looks and I actually want some right now. But I have to tell you that I bought some pretty terrific pizza tonight in the frozen-food section, California Grill. Yummy! I actually bought 2. Tried the pepperoni with tomatoes, very good. I had the the garlic chicken spinach pizza a long time ago and forgot how good it was! Give it a try! I like the thin and crispy, myself.
    I thought the food chat might cheer you up! =) Sorry you had a crappy day. Tomorrow will be better, I hope.
    I love your pics from the girls night! Gotta LOVE Allison!
    Your pillows sound FAB too! I didn’t want to think about the mites, etc. But I saw that all on Opera and I will never forget it. I need to get the good pillow protectors too, it would help with my allergies.
    Love to you my friend!
