Today, I was thinking about my two beds. Since I moved back in with my parents after graduating from college, I have had two full-size beds in my room and they take up all of the space in my post-grad cave. I was looking at both of my beds and noting the differences. One bed has blue pillows and a denim comforter and the other has purple pillows and a lavender comforter. My "college bed" is entirely indicative of my personality while my "home bed" is an homage to the country girl I used to be (and still occasionally am). It's been really nice to have two beds because that means I always have a choice at the end of the day which bed I want to sleep in. It's not as existential as it sounds, I just have two beds.
Then I thought about where these beds have been and what they have seen (don't worry, it's not going to get dirty). My "college bed" has been in a house and an apartment and before it was my "college bed" it was my "teenage bed," because I got it on my thirteenth birthday. It had a brief hiatus when I was living in a dorm room, but it has been a wonderful bed. So, the point of all of this is: I have been living a "two bed" life for quite some time. As a freshman and a sophomore I lived alone in my dorm room and had access to two beds, I currently live in a room with two beds and when I move to Minnesota in less than two months I will once again find myself residing with two beds.
I thoroughly enjoy having two beds, but today I decided to cut back and commit to a "one bed" lifestyle, and by one bed I mean that I elected to stack my beds and create a mega bed. And now, as I sit atop my glorious work of art, I feel like Dwight Schrute, but only in the tiniest way.
Behold: MEGA BED!
