I'm a big girl now!

I finally got myself a bed. A real bed. A queen-sized bed! With a boxspring an' everything!

Nevermind that I got it for pennies on craigslist - this feels like a big step for me.

I realized that I'd been sleeping on one one country or another's version of a futon for about two and a half years. Honestly, at this point, the springs in this mattress are a bit disconcerting.

Before the futons, I managed on twins and twin-extra-longs (ah, dorm rooms), and although sleeping alone on a twin is fine, sharing can be pretty ridiculous. Now there's so much extra room on my bed I don't know what to do with myself. My capybaras will probably start multiplying.
