Don't Expect the Best Towels at Our House

Over the past few weeks, I've been in full nesting mode. We've lived here a year and now that we know our routines and what rooms we use the most, I'm wanting to make our home more of a sanctuary.

So I asked Matt what I could do to make our home feel more comfortable and peaceful for him. After saying he really hadn't thought about it, the lightbulb lit over his head and he said, "I know. Every time I fold the laundry and there's those great big soft oversized bath towels, I get a little jealous that the guests get to use those and I just get the regular size ones."

Ouch. Instant conversation in my head: "Janie, you dummy. Of all people, you as a communications major should know that what you do communicates far more than what you say. You always say that Matt is more important than any other person and here you go throwing him the second-rate towels."

Needless-to-say, for the past week Matt has thoroughly enjoyed the oversized bath towels that greet him each morning.

Now, if you ever come to visit, please know that we will go out of our way to make your accommodations comfortable. But don't expect to have the best bath towels in the house. Those are reserved for the gentleman on the extended stay in the Master Suite.

That's right people. Back off my towels!

Somehow I get the feeling that not having the best towels in the house would not put a damper on things. As long as there is coffee, gummy bears and great friends, I'd be content to sleep on the floor. Just make sure Jeter doesn't sleep on top of me.

You go on and use the nice towels! It's a waste not to. Nice towels are meant to be used and if they are only going to be reserved for guests, they are not getting the proper amount of usage they deserve! Jake and I always give the crummy towels to the guests. I think once we even gave one of his friends a beach towel!
