I forgot to post this earlier, got sidetracked with some pressing issues, but the bedding that I ordered for all of us came in today.
I didn't take pics of the ones the boys got, they just got solid colored comforters, Mark in red, Sebastian in blue, that's what they asked for and got, but I wanted a nice looking bedding set that matched.
An adult-ish looking set.
I've spent most of my life with matching sheets, but with a wide variety of old blankets, comforters that didn't match, but were warm, but they often got swiped by a child who "loved it", so it was time for me to have an adult set, something grown up looking and fully matching.
So I bought a wine colored jacquard set with comforter, matching pillow shams, and matching bed skirt as well.
It's really very nice, all of them are good quality, nice and thick, super warm.
I put the skirt on by myself, didn't lift the mattress up, just slid it on between the mattress and box spring, it went on very easy.
Then I put my deep purple/wine-ish colored sheets back on fresh out of the dryer, put the comforter on, and before I could even put the pillows in the shams, all 4 of the cats came running in and hopped on my bed to check it out.
They all sleep with me every night, I think that's because I don't move while I sleep, I can't, so if I don't roll around, they don't get squished or kicked off or anything.
Sleeping with 4 cats is like sleeping with an electric vibrating blanket.
They all purr all night long.
It gets sooo hot with them on my bed in the summer.
Yes, I know my bed isn't centered in the middle of the headboard.
Long story, will fix it eventually.
Yes, that is a Cabbage Patch Kid on my nightstand/file cabinet.
Yes, that is a lava lamp on my nightstand/file cabinet too.
I love lava lamps.
During the first few weeks of my first back surgery when all I could so was lay in bed, I would turn it on and watch it warm up slowly, then the bubbles would start going up really slow one at a time, then big fat ones, then it would get faster, and then it would slow down again into giant blobs.
It was soothing to just lay there and watch it while listening to music.
I would be in so much pain when I first went in to lay down, but after a little music and some soothing lava bubbles, the pain meds would finally kick in, and I'd forget just how badly I hurt.
Oh, and the little stuffed kitty sitting with the Cabbage Patch doll is what the teens bought me while I was in surgery.
They always buy me a little stuffed thing from the gift shop, the nurses put it in my hand when I'm back in my room to recover so when I wake up, I have it and know that my boys were there and thinking of me.

Pretty! There is something so nice and grownup about looking at your bed, all made up, and it matches!
Heh, I love taking a nap on mine and waking up to see the blanket and the pillows.
