A stubborn victory
It’s been months and I’ve been looking for this hairbrush every time I go home. I knew that I had taken it out to use when I was here and though I searched high and low without success, I refused to give up. I like how it has wide teeth and is made of a fragrant wood. It’s also glossed and I think is even anti-static. Perfect for a quick brush-up in the middle of the day. I used to keep it in my purse, but then one weekend when I was hanging out at home, I lost track of it. Ever since then, I’ve been on the hunt.
Tonight I asked my mom about it again and she said she actually found a wooden comb while cleaning up. Unfortunately, she couldn’t remember where she had put it, so this sent us on a house-wide search for the elusive thing. As it turns out, she was referring to a smaller comb (the kind they give at hotels), which was sitting on the desk. Since I had already searched almost all of the house, I decided to keep going and flipped just about everything around. Then, I thought that I should check the pile of blankets and pillows on the bed upstairs, which I had used for awhile a couple of months ago.
Lo and behold, after lifting up a couple of blankets, I found it lying there, neatly hidden away! I’m really glad to have it back and will make sure to store it safely in my purse again. Yup, being stubborn does get me results.

Hurricane Irene
Hurricane Irene is ripping through the east now and I hope that damage is minimal. This happy sea turtle is in D.C. and hopefully will be safe from damage, along with all his other sea creature buddies.

Fluffy pillows
I have this thing for pillows. Ever since college, I’ve just loved to pile my bed full of pillows. I lay on them, I hug them, they keep me warm, and of course they keep me from getting neck cramps. I’ve had really soft ones and more firm ones, some small ones and some large ones. I’ve had one made to look like a Tootsie Roll and now I have a HUGE bear one! I also have a fantastic body pillow that has saved me from many a night there the blanket got away from.
I don’t know what it is, but I love when my bed is bustling with pillows. In fact, sometimes they take up more space than I do and I end up getting buried in them (but hey, I don’t mind!). I’ve actually wondered if I could get a bed set within a high frame so that I could kind of swim around in all the blankets and pillows on my bed without worrying about pushing them off. It’s annoying when things fall off the bed, which is why I prefer having my bed pushed against a corner. Then I can throw all the pillows I want on them without constantly losing them to the ground.
At the moment I have seven pillows with me, though three of them have made it to the floor. Alas, even with two sides of the mattress against walls, pillows will slide off the bed on their own. It just can’t be helped!
