spf: sleep theme

kelly  |  29 July 2005 - 11:16am

I hesitated to do this week's SPF because of the bed. I would honestly rather show you people my underwear drawer (see below!) than my bed. I know, right? WEIRD. I just think a bed is a very intimate thing because intimate things happen in bed. And I don't just mean sex - to me, sleeping is just as intimate. To sleep is to be in such a vulnerable, innocent state and I find that very personal, very intimate. I also find it very sexy. When Rob and I were dating, one of my favorite things was to talk to him on the phone late at night. The later it got, the more he let his guard down and confided in me. And his sleepy voice was so sexy. Nowadays, I love to watch Rob while he's asleep. I love the smell of his pillow. I love how he wraps himself around me in the mornings before we're completely awake. I love how when I wake him up, he smiles before he opens his eyes. Like I said, sleep is a very intimate thing to me. And because the bed embodies those feelings, I'm a little weirded out by people seeing mine. And, to be honest, I am uncomfortable seeing other people's. However, I played anyway 'cause I'm cool like that.

Our 3 cats insist on sleeping at the foot of our bed. I love that they do this, but I cannot tell you how many strange sleeping positions we have to assume in order to accomodate them. We so need a king. And here is Rob's chest of drawers. I have a dresser all to myself, but I didn't take a picture of it because it's sorta covered with clothes at the moment.

Speaking of intimate, here is my underwear drawer. I almost didn't post this because I know mrtl is going to call me a slut for showing my underwear to all of my internet men. But I posted it anyway for two reasons: It is the neatest of all my clothes drawers (which is scary considering it is not at all neat), and my underwear are my pajamas. (Hmmm, perhaps another reason sleep is so intimate to me is because we do it naked.) Or nearly so, anyway - I sleep only in underwear. Now you know. However, just because I don't wear pajamas to bed doesn't mean I don't have any. Au contraire! I LOVE pajamas. Rob says I have WAY too many, which I do. But I love them, and I wear them around the house some evenings and on a lot of Saturdays.

What I am not willing to show you here is my lingerie - that is for Rob's eyes only. But here are a few of my favorite pairs of pajamas. Set #1 is my sloppy Saturday cleaning uniform - I made the star pants and the CNN shirt makes me feel smart. Set #3 is my absolute favorite; I even bought a $150 robe (oops, promised Rob I'd never ever mention the price again) that matches them perfectly.

So there you have it, my most intimate post yet.

Seeing your bed, and gazing upon the delicious tangle of whisper-thin underpants, and ogling your baby-doll jammies and hearing you say you sleep only in a teensy pair of panties had no effect on me whatsoever. None.

Now, if you'll excuse me. Back in five ...

Okay, so we have the same sleeping position problem... we have usually about 3 or 4 of the six cats, plus the two pit bulls sprawled across the foot of the bed (poor Bogie used to sleep under the covers with his head on the pillow before Rose. No wonder he's so sulky lately). We have Rose in bed with us. I think we don't need to get kings, Kelly, I think we need to make a fortune off of marketing extra LONG queens for people who can't remember the last time they could fully stretch out their legs without bumping into a critter.

I can see why you wouldn't want to post the bed. The mission furniture elicits only one thought in my mind: missionary position.

So this is what JOHN STAMOS JOHN STAMOS JOHN STAMOS JOHN STAMOS JOHN STAMOS JOHN STAMOS JOHN STAMOS JOHN STAMOS is missing? Fool.

I love the Laverne and Shirley nightie. That is all, um K?

Oh. I feel so CLOSE to you right now.
Creepy.

(I have brought no attitude whatsoever to klog today!)

Ewww, I know what Nilbo is doing!

I don't sleep in pj's anymore either! they just get all bunchy with the sheets and blanket anyway. Just panties here too! (Seriously, HOW much do we have in common?)

David doesn't smile when I wake him up because he sleeps SO SOUNDLY that I have to be a little brutal to shake him out of slumber. But when I leave while he is still sleeping, he will kiss me goodbye in his sleep and then not remember it later. :)

Cute bedroom by the way!

(No attitude, but lots of subject changes! Weekend ADD.)

The little monogramed K on the second pair is really cute. I never thought about sleep being intimate, but now I feel funny looking at everyone's beds too.

Okay. I KNOW I left a comment here this morning, before your blog went AWOL for the day. I was FIRST!!11oneone. Also, I'm pretty sure that middle pair of pajamas was not here when I read this post this morning.

Your blog seems to be conspiring against me.

I THINK what I said this morning was something along the lines of...

Reading your thoughts on the intimacy of the bed makes me want to go home and tackle Deputy Dad.

Of course, now I'm AT home, and Deputy Dad's at work, and the kids are in bed, so....

Sigh.

I'm lonely.

I saw LadyBug's comment this morning. I don't think I left one, though. Was rushing.

::also scarily picturing what nilbo's doing and trying not to picture it like i try not to look at the sun when someone says 'don't look at the sun,' yet i do anyway, and it blinds me, and that's what's happening when i picture nilbo:: my eyes, MY EYES!!!

 

Bente  |  30 July 2005 - 3:57am

Hmm, must be internet muck up day. I wasn't aware your blog went "AWOL", but there's no way I could have known because the internet was playing tricks on me all day. Now I'm here, now I'm not, now I'm here...

 

Nilbo  |  30 July 2005 - 8:29am

What ...? I went out to get a Diet Coke and Lime. Honestly ... you guys and your imaginations, and your constant sexual fantasies about me. It's just so disconcerting.

Nice, but disconcerting.
