I have been bedding shopping. Trying to find new bedding for my sister and I's room. We won't be getting it for a while but I like to find what we want well in advance. Ideally what I want is white. White sheets, white pillow cases, white quilt and adding in some color with throw pillows (and of course other things in the room) and painting the room either a rose-y-ish, mango-y-ish or peachy-ish color.
But I can't find anything I like. Not a one quilt.
We WERE maybe going to go with Shabby Chic, but I went to her website today and:
http://www.shabbychic.com/
I don't like what our Target has.
I can't believe it's that hard to make a simple white quilt.
On Thursday when my sister and I went over to babysit, she stayed for about an hour and a half after we got there. Showing us around and showing us where everything is, telling us what Amelia can and can't eat, what to do for naps, gave us phone numbers etc. Told us we can get something to eat and/or drink if we want, we can use both TV's.
She stayed until Amelia went down for a nap just this once to make sure everything went okay. The whole time she was gone Amelia was asleep (except for one time when my sister used the bathroom, which is next to her room, and she woke up. I had to go in their and give her her pacifier and stuffed animal back and lay her back down, she cried for about 5 minutes and fell asleep). It was really quite boring because there is never anything I like to watch on TV at that time of day and I had no books or magazines that I could read (next issue of Birds and Blooms we get I'm saving for when I babysit).
I'm doing that little iodine patch test again since I got rid of my thyroid goiter and am waiting to see. I have a feeling I'm at least moderately iodine deficient.
ETA- Uh-oh! I forgot to check the patch of iodine after 6 hours but I just remembered and it hasn't even been 12 hours and it's gone! So I am at least moderately iodine deficient. I'm going to do it again tomorrow and set the alarm on my watch to remind me to check it every hour to see just when it disapears. I have a doctor appointment soon, so I guess we will deal with how much I need then.

It's so hard to find bedding! So many choices, just it's really hard to find something simple. I don't know your price range but have you looked at pottery barn? It might have something.
I babysat when I was younger and always hated it. It was so boring and I wasn't into kids so much and I was always scared something was going to go wrong and I'd have to call 9-1-1 and do the the heimlich manuver or something.
At any rate I hope your thyroid stuff works out and that you aren't iodine deficient, but if you are it can probably be taken care of.Posted 04-01-09 at 03:11 pm by Peggysu
