The Saga of the Mattress Has Ended (I Hope)

Art got a text message from his dad yesterday, and then looked up at me and said, "Apparently our box spring is in."

I replied with, "Already?"

We ordered our mattress set in August. We ordered our mattress SET in AUGUST.

When we ordered it, they told us 7-10 business days. We could expect to pick in 7-10 business days.

17-20 business days later, we finally came home with a mattress (Sep. 12th or 13th). They said that we would probably have to wait another two weeks for the box spring. We had the option of NOT taking the mattress home, and instead, waiting to take the SET home. I said NO. Ya'll remember how much I hated that futon, don't you? So we happily took our mattress, and waited to hear from them.

Two times two weeks later (as in, a MONTH later), my father-in-law called them and told them to just give him a date. Just tell him on which day the box spring would be in. Don't keep saying "a week or two." As far as I know, he didn't get a reply. By that time, I had already forgotten that we ordered a mattress SET.

One month after THAT, Art got a text message from his dad saying that our box spring was in. That was yesterday. So his parents drove up with their truck (bringing food with them, of course), and we put the box spring in our room and the mattress on top, and ladies and gentlemen, THREE WHOLE MONTHS after we ordered it, we FINALLY have a real bed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

(I'll put up pictures eventually. I'm really bad with the pictures thing. See, I always use the laptop, because I like it, but I can't upload pictures on the laptop. I have to do that on desktop, which is always being used by Art. And the desktop screen is dimmer, so I can't view my pictures accurately, and I know I'm just making excuses. The point is, I took pictures, but I can't upload them yet to show you).
