Pillow Impressions
4 May 2010
About a year ago, my husband and I bought new pillows. I hate buying new pillows. There’s a thousand options, you can spend basically however much you want, and there’s no real good way to try it out. Oh, and I always choose wrong.
Early in my pregnancy, I kept having headaches. I complained to my husband about my pillow being flat, and—nice guy that he is—he said, “Why don’t you try mine?” My headaches stopped, and five months later, the pillow still resides on my side of the bed.
We travelled this weekend and stayed at a pretty basic hotel. The no-frills-but-clean-with-a-free-breakfast type. When I got in bed, I said to Ben, “This pillow’s pretty comfy.” But then I kept waking up throughout the night all achy from my very flat, very uncomfortable pillow.
It’s become increasingly clear to me, both in pillow shopping and in general life, that my first impressions are often incorrect. Fortunately, Ben is much better at these kinds of things. And shares without ever saying, “I told you so.”
My hubby assumes that his first impression is dead wrong, LOL. After a series of “oops“es, he will now say, “I didn’t like it. It must be great.” ;-)
