Update on the Mattress

So I looked on ksl today to see if anyone had purchased this bed and sad to say no, its still on there. The page has over 600 views but I really don't think anyone will buy it. The description the lady gives of the bed is a little off putting. Anyway just thought I'd update you and since I'm accused of never getting on the blog I thought I say something. Love you all.

Seriously? Yes!

I was looking on ksl.com for mattresses because the apartment I got for the summer isn't furnished. I found this ad and it was so funny I had to share it! Keep in mind that this is a real mattress ad. I'm thinking about getting it! Miracles Happen!!

Looking for someone to finally take our family heirloom. This bed has been passed on for 3 generations. Over 68yrs old! My grandmother was in a polygamist group but was unable to have children for many years. She was sad for her husband as he had 7 girls at the time from his 2 other wives, and no boys yet. She supposedly had an indian friend named Hiopai, who blessed my grandmothers bed that she would be able to have children. (sounds crazy and weird but it seemed to actually work) My grandmother got pregnant and eventually had 5 sons and 2 daughters. She could not get pregnant except on this bed. It was passed on to my mother who had 6 children (she abandoned them when she left the polygamist ranch) and had me 6 yrs later with her new husband. She was able to recover some of her things before I was born, one of which was this bed. I was diagnosed with ovarian cancer in my early twenties, and underwent surgery and most of my ovaries were scraped out and removed. The doctor told me I would never have children... ever! I have never had any children until we were kicked out of our trailer home 6 years ago and stayed at my sisters house for 8 months. The bed had been given to my sister who never married, and my boyfriend and I soon found that I was expecting soon after we moved in. It was a miracle! We now have 6 boys (two are twins) and absolutely believe this bed has energy to help struggling couples out. My sister drowned a few months ago, and we have since sold the house and are living in a motor home and moving to Wendover and have no room for this bed anymore. Would like to sell or even give to someone who needs it. It is old, but in good shape, the mattress has a few stains but is otherwise clean, but slightly faded. There is a small rip on the side of the top matress, about 3 inches long. (I think from our cat who actually had 4 kittens on this bed) The box spring is very creaky and rusted, but sturdy, (my mother was over 300 lbs and my dad about 130, it is heavy duty) the bed posts need a little restoring, as there are some scrapes and scratches here and there, and some bite marks (I think from from our old dog skipper) I would like to sell the bed complete as I dont know if it would still work if the mattresses were separated from the frame. The top matress is heavy (about 75-100lbs I would guess) so bring a couple people to carry it. Thanks for looking. Miracles can happen.

Yesterday in the mail . . .

We got a couple of graduation announcements. So exciting! Wish we could be there.

I'm so exicted! I'm so scared!

Today I am frantically trying to finish a scientific literature paper on managing for wolves while at the same time maintaing steady revenue from hunting permits. This paper has to have 15 scientific references and it is driving me crazy! I've been at the library for 2 days straight and for several hours, Saturday and Sunday. Today, I let my hair go curly and dressed in an oversized sweatshirt because I've just been at the library all day (despite work for a few hours) so it makes me feel like Jessie Spano, being all hopped up on caffeine pills studying for the SATs so she can get into Stanford! I haven't had a major breakdown yet but I'm sure that'll come later in the evening when my pills run out. Luckily, I've commissioned A.C. to come and bring me some dinner!

New Glasses

Sorry too many posts for one day but I finally got my glasses. I really like them but I'm still getting use to them yesterday I got a huge headache from them.

Easter

For Easter we went to Katie's house and had ham, mustard sauce, funeral potatoes, vegetables in her secret sauce, and pistachio dessert. All of which was so good. Hope everyone else had a good Easter.

Cherry Blossom

Here are some pictures of the Cherry Blossoms. We didn't get down to the tidal basin until the peak bloom was over. But it was cool to see all the petals covering the ground. We took about 150 pictures, but these were some of my favorites. Enjoy!











Oh, on our way back to the metro we came across this tulip garden. DC is so gorgeous in the spring time.

P.S. I rented the movie Australia the other night. LOVED IT!
