My original title for this blog post was "I Splurged." Is it splurging? If I spend twice as much money on flannel sheets than I ever have before just to get what I want, is that splurging? I use flannel sheets year round. I use the same set week after week for years at a time and then I turn them into either rags or a rag rug. So is it splurging just to have the Peanut's gang depicted on the sheets? The thing is, I think Charles Schulz, a native of Saint Paul, was a genius. In my life I have been all of the characters in the gang. I like to think I'm Linus who despite the need for a blankie seems to be the most well adjusted of the group. Some times I am Snoopy (dancing around the house on Saturday morning). Sometimes I am Charlie Brown because I think this time Lucy will not pull that football away. I hope against hope but Lucy is Lucy and she can't help being Lucy. Lately the Lucy in me is coming out. Bold, remarkable, Lucy is blunt and honest. When I was younger I was the little red haired girl. Over Labor Day weekend I was Pig-Pen, the kid who is so dirty the dust flies off of him. Whatever, I love my new sheets. I smile every night when I go to bed so that is not splurging.
