Nap Central Are You Ready for a Nap on the Couch? Whether you are traveling, staying close to home, or hosting Thanksgiving at your house, one thing is for certain; the inevitable food coma. We've all been in that position. You may have had just one plate too many and now you feel like sleep is the only option that sounds good until your body catches up with what you grubbed down on. Funny thing is that feeling you get of being groggy is actually based on a chemical reaction. Now you don't have to feel bad for overindulging! Or, if you're like me, you don't really feel bad about it. While that living room set will be calling your name soon enough, let us take a trip down science lane to figure out why you get so mellow after having some turkey.  Trypto the Couch! A lot of people blame the turkey for making them sleepy. However, I noticed that during my low carb phase, I didn't really suffer from a mid-afternoon desire to sleep. Because of that, I decide...

Dining Room Set Do You Have Enough Room? One thing I have noticed as I have lived through more and more holiday seasons is that families grow pretty fast. You may go to someone else's house to gather for Thanksgiving or Christmas, so, for you, this isn't that big of a concern. However, if you host the gathering or if you have ever been to one that doesn't have quite the capacity needed to seat all the guests, you know how stressful things can get.  How many times have you had to sit at the 'kids' table as an adult? For some, there may be no greater indignity than to have to sit with a bunch of nieces, nephews, or young cousins. You sit there, making longing glances at your erstwhile place next to the rest of the adults. Perhaps you really don't care, and this is an excuse to eat as much as you want without seeing the judgemental faces of your peers as you return with the third helping of your aunt's ambrosia salad.  I have actually been through b...

New Fridge Do You Need a New Refrigerator? One of the worst things that can happen in a kitchen is to have a fridge suddenly quit working. Outside of disasters like a fire or something of that magnitude, I really can't think of something being so cumbersome. If your oven goes out, chances are, you can get by with cold cuts and microwaved food until you find a replacement. Any time a kitchen appliance decides to quit working, it will leave you in an inconvenienced situation, whether the machine in question is a dishwasher, an oven or stove, or a refrigerator.  If you are like me, the times you have had to deal with a fridge on the fritz happened right after a huge trip to the grocery store. Since I don't usually buy a week's worth of groceries for the family, I always feel like maybe my refrigerator just got used to only having a few meals worth of items it had to keep cold and springing a huge load on it was just too much. All jokes aside, I did find out that the...

Sofas for Sale Casual Sofas for Sale in Clovis, NM What does the word 'comfort' mean to you? While that word has a definition, your comfort level is definitely subjective. If you have ever tried to buy a new mattress with a partner, or if you ever had to share a bed with a sibling for an extended amount of time, you know not everyone shares the same personal preference as you. When I was younger, I never had a new mattress. I always got the hand-me-down of my older brother. At the time, I had no idea that there were mattresses that had firm springs since my brother preferred to sink into his bed like a lead bar. However, when I struck out on my own, and I found out that mattresses probably were only good for five or so years, I decided to buy my first one. What a game-changer. I decided to save up and buy a new living room set. I will never forget how good it felt to have furniture in my house that didn't come from someone else's curb.  Now that I think about...

Modern Entertainment Center Did You Get a Sweet New TV? Television technology is changing rapidly. It just seems like a few years ago the whole HD revolution had broken through. Now, even the 4k televisions are not the top of the line anymore. While the depths of TVs are getting slimmer, the width is getting borderline obscene. I just saw a 95-inch wide flat screen television for sale and I am sure that's not even the largest you can find. Now, you can get a really incredible TV for a fraction of the price of what a big-screen TV cost say 30 years ago. There is nothing really quite as exciting as getting a new television getting it set up and turning it on for the first time. After all, in the modern American home, the television is the centerpiece of the living room. You have the television in the center of the room, and the furniture is fixated around the TV. What Does Your TV Sit on? So you have this new television that is the focal point of your living room. What ...

Queen Size Bed King and Queen Bed - What's the Difference? Have you ever wondered what the difference is between a king and queen-sized bed? I know it's obvious that one is bigger than the other but have you actually ever taken the time to find out the difference? If you haven't ever checked, then wonder no more; it's 16 inches. Less than one and a half feet is what makes a queen or king bed. Both are 80 inches long, but a king-sized bed is 76 inches wide and a queen-sized bed is 60 inches wide. In the grand scheme of things, that really isn't that much. However, if you have a partner that is highly active in their sleep, then that one foot and four inches may be the difference in good and bad rest.  To get good rest, you need to get a recommended amount on a nightly basis to keep your circadian rhythm going strong. While the hours needed may change depending on your age, one thing stays the same; you need to get quality rest. You can sleep all day but if...

My Football Stadium How is Your Team Doing this Year? We are five games deep into this football season and so you may have a good idea of how your team will do. Some teams are undefeated and some are absolutely defeated. Not to get too specific, but my team is one of the many who aren't exactly making a strong showing. Since I root for a team that is not even in the same state in which I live, I understand that I will not be attending many live games at their stadium. If it was just a few hours on the road, I would be much more inclined to attend a game in person. Sadly, its more like a few hours in the sky to watch my team play. Since that's the case, I am glad that my living room is a comfortable place to watch the big games this year.  How is your living room furniture when it comes to watching football? Do you have room for all the guests that you want to invite or do you go to someone else's house who has the room to entertain? I won't lie, it has only b...
