My "New" Comforter from Target

Here's the deal...I love to wrap up to sleep at night, but I get HOT in the middle of the night. So, I tend to sleep with my air on 63 or 64 at night. Yes, even in the heat of Summer. As you can probably imagine, my power bills are super low in Winter and not so low in Summer. Well as the days are warming up, and the air is running more, I got a great idea: Instead of sleeping under the thick comforter that I absolutely love, I will go and buy a thin bedspread type comforter.

Yesterday, I left work and went to Target. Low and behold, I found the type comforter that I was looking for and I even branched out. See, I also love to have dark colors in my bedroom, deep reds, chocolate brown....you get the point. However, I branched out and bought a comforter in ice blue. The problem was that the only had a queen size and I really like the king size because I like it to be big. I came home, did my work out, took a shower, and got in the bed - with the air up to 70.

Fast forward to today...I go to a different Target. What do I see there but a king size comforter. So, I get this idea.....I'll buy it and return the one I bought yesterday. Yes, I slept under it and that is creapy - and I've never done this before, but what the heck. I return it and there were no questions asked. I come home tonight and start to unfold the king size comforter and what do I see???? I guess someone else doesn't have a problem bringing back a used comforter either, because this comforter had dried rose petals in it. Yes, oh yes, it did. All I could do was laugh. I mean, really....I kind of deserved that.

So, next time you buy a new comforter...just remember - it might not be so new. =)
