Improvements

For a while James and I had been talking about getting a new mattress because our old one was used and nearly 10 years old.  James had always wanted an Intellibed mattress because of all the great things he had heard about it. His philosophy is that if you spend a third of your life on it, it should be a good quality. I was a little iffy about getting one because they are super expensive like $2500 or so depending on the size and such. One morning he was looking at the online classifieds on the off chance that someone would be selling one.  There were only four listed and one of which actually looked like a good deal.  It was a king size Intellibed for only $500 with the frame and box springs and was only three years old.  We went that night, checked it out, and brought it home.  It is a great great bed.  What I have noticed is that I don't toss and turn as much.  In the old bed, if you stayed in one position too long you would get achy and have to turn over, not hardly in this bed.  It has been so nice, and it is nice and roomy.  We had to do some rearranging with our sleeping situations since Dash was in our bedroom and wasn't sleeping very well with us in the room. He has the other bedroom to himself and Jet sleeps in his firetruck bed in our room. Anyway, I would say the Intellibed is a big improvement from where we were.  From this:

Another improvement happened to our little Honda Spree Scooter.  Winter had not been very nice to the seat cushion on that thing.  It was all shredded and torn.  We are trying to sell it and I wanted to fix the seat because it is such an eyesore.  I told James I could totally reupholster it not really knowing for sure I could.  We bought some fabric, took off the old cover and I just kinda eyeballed a new pattern to cut out the fabric. Long story short, I was able to make a new cover and it turned out pretty well. I love doing stuff like that, just making something totally new without any pattern and making a big improvement.
