sheets
I wasn't going to write about buying sheets this weekend, because sheets? Mundane. Even if they're these sheets, which I've had a sheet crush on since Pottery Barn figured out I had an address. It's boring; nobody wants to read about sheets.
But we got these sheets from Target on Saturday and wow. It's the first time in my life that I've owned 300 thread count sheets, which made a segement of my readership say "huh?" and the other are like, ... sad. And now I have to talk about them.
First off, they're mind boggling awesome. Soft and pretty and a bit slippery because did I mention they're 300 thread count? We picked out sage green sheets and blue and orchid pillow cases, and I do believe it's the first time in years when all of our bed linens have coordinated. Everyone gave us dishes when we got married, you see.
Second off, they're partially made from bamboo, which means if a giant panda ever decided to crash at our place, we're set. Which could happen. You never know. A tear could open up in the space/time fabric and a panda could fall out. Or someone could abandon one on our doorstep. Stranger things have happened.
Third? I've never heard Adam talk about friggin' linens.
"We are not worthy of the sheets," he said after the first night in them. "It's like we've spent our lives swathed in gas station toilet paper and now someone's gone and handed us a roll of Charmin triple ply."
Which isn't to imply we've been sleeping in burlap for seven years, but damn.
The rest of the weekend was uninspired contentment and not really worth reporting.

Count me in the "Huh?" category.
I can not believe that there are people who have not slept on 300 count sheets! Okay, so I can. But it makes me sad. I am a total sheet snob and demand 300+. Or flannel. I love flannel sheets in the winter.
The softest sheets that I have ever owned were from Bed Bath & Beyond and where made out of some kind of tree fiber (birch?). But they could not withstand kitty claws and only lasted us about a year.
And I can not believe how much I'm going on about sheets. :p

Hee! "Huh" and "...sad." You guys are awesome.
Eh. Teachers weren't paid enough to allow their offspring to wallow in anything more than about 150 thread count, so I never had the taste for it until now.
i was looking for pics of those fabulous red shoes on greys anatomy and stumbled across your blog.
witty and entertaining. love it!
have to say i agree with gwyneth- once you get a taste for them you'll never go back.
problem? it can become like a shoe addiction. you start off with steve madden (300 thread count- a well loved cotton t-shirt) and pretty soon nothing but prada (800 thread count- a silk and egyptian cotton blend sweater) will do.
and charmin t.p. adam? hehe. try cottonelle aloe and e... spoiled for life.
I am pretty sure the Grey's Anatomy shoes are Christian Louboutain sandals from the Spring 2005 collection.
oooh, I am SO getting some of those sheets!
