The Sheets II

Someone once told me that Target is the store "most capable of dropping a C-Note on ya." I have definitely been one of those people who consistenly spends at least $100 per visit. I can get clothing, bedding, food, cosmetics, and office supplies in the same place. This weekend I took Chuck to Target with the specific purpose of making his bed a place worthy of spending as much time as we do in it. He had some very limp pillows on top of a rather firm mattress that had a threadbare sheet on it, and nothing else. There was no mattress cover, no duvet, and no sheets worthy of anything more than a bed in a frat house. It was one of the most uncomfortable night's I've spent. I told Chuck that if he wanted to see me in his bed regularly, we were going to need to improve conditions. He agreed that it might be necessary to upgrade his bedding. We bought a mattress cover (aren't those so much better than feeling the edges of the mattress ticking?), new sheets (that was a bonus), and two new pillows (thank G-d!). I was very excited, and so was Chuck until the clerk anounced his total: $118. Woops! There Target goes, dropping that C-Note again. Fortunately for Chuck, the purchases became priceless when we spent the next 2 nights in them.
