Shhh....Don't Tell Bryan

Bryan has been complaining about needing a new pillow for quite some time. He has NO problem falling asleep and snoring all night long, but everyone should be allowed their ideal pillow. Last night, we just decided to pop over to Macy's to check out their pillows. He bought his last pillow there about 10 years ago and paid $120 for it! That seems like way too much for a pillow to me, but, in his defense, it was buy one, get one free. That makes it a little better.

Fortunately, Macy's was once again having a sale on pillows. Maybe they do it every 10 years or so. Bryan checked every pillow in the store. Even the ones on display that weren't even for sale. He likes the firmest pillow possible. He was leaning towards another $120 pillow that was once again buy one get one free. I told him he would have to store that free one in his closet for a back-up. But it was goose down and he wasn't quite sure that it would stay firm enough. I pointed out a Calvin Klein synthetic pillow that was on sale for $36. I told him whatever he was happy with was fine. But then I got to go spend that much money at Pottery Barn for stuff for Chloe's room, which he hates, but he agreed.

Then the sales lady came over to see if we needed help. I stepped back and let them talk it over. I really was suggesting the Calvin Klein pillow because it was synthetic and wouldn't smoosh down as quickly. But he said I was just trying to choose the cheaper one. The sales lady suggested the exact same thing and for the exact same reason, but Bryan listened to her and picked the Calvin Klein style. Even with tax, it was only about $10!!! He bought two of them!

So on the drive home, he said, "What are you going to buy at Pottery Barn for $20?" I don't think they have anything there for $20! Well, I may not get anything for Chloe's room, but at least we didn't spend over $100 on a new pillow! Thank goodness for the sales lady who could talk some sense into him! Just don't tell him that I knew she would!
