Three Things Thursday - Heat, sheets and well, bling?

I like it cold in the house – the colder the better. I would be completely happy setting the thermostat at 58 degrees year ‘round. The heat here has been bad and our AC was jacked…Sunday night when we were cooking dinner in the house it was 80 degrees…INDOORS. I was mean and crabby because of it and had been complaining for 2 weeks to my hub that there was obviously something wrong with our AC… he was trying to blame it on my period (typical male response) but he was wrong…I was a) in my own house, b) it was HOT, c) I was not comfortable, d) therefore I was grumpy and pissed.  I guess my “wonderful mood” Sunday night finally made it thru to him because he had the AC guy come out at 8pm Monday night. His name was Jay – I heart him so – the coils were dirty and we were 2 pounds short on Freon. By 9pm I was already feeling it – it was pure heaven!

Thread Count Matters – The hubby decided about a week ago that we needed a new comforter set in te master bedroom. He didn’t like the “slippery” material of the one we had and there was a tear in it – which he said was from the dogs but I know it was from the comforter tug-o-war we play at night when he hogs all the covers and I work on my biceps yanking them back to my side. To the point, I found a comforter set on Sunday – and it was on sale! $240 marked down one day to $59.99…SOLD! So since I saved so much, I decided to spring for good sheets. I have not had sheets under 300 count ever – I think they feel like sandpaper…and I think the ones we had were in the 450 range. Well, I found some heavenly 620 count. I tried to explain the whole thread count thing to the hubby, but seeing would be easier than just believing. Monday morning, when I woke him up at 8am, I asked him “how did you sleep?” he replied “It was like sleeping in a hotel bed…a good hotel!” He doesnt sleep muc or well, so this made me very happy!

Jewelry hates me – I wear the same jewelry ALL the time, except for on formal or special occasions where I might wear costume jewelry. 3 months ago I lost my wedding band…that plain sucks. I have looked everywhere to no avail. A week before vacation, I was getting the groceries out of the bottom basket of my cart and my diamond pendant (wedding gift from hubby on our wedding day) caught on the basket, the chain broke, the diamond shot across the store…luckily I found it, but I have had no chain for it so I had kept it in my jewelry box. 2 days ago, as I was blow drying my hair, I feel something hit my foot. It was one of my diamond earrings (another wedding gift from hubby) – the screw on back apparently decided to leave without warning, probably down the drain…so now I had no wedding ring, no necklace, no earrings…
Wednesday after work I hit Jared's for replacement parts and pieces. Got the earring back - check, got a new 20" chain - check, text the husband that the replacement cheap band would be $250 - um, your guess? Yep "We will keep looking". Two outta three ain't too shabby.
 
Run safe, run happy!
