Brainstorming
I was throwing around an idea to Shauna in bed this morning around 4:40 a.m. Due to the obnoxious behavior of our two cats, we get little sleep after 4:30 a.m. Luckily for Shauna, I’m out of bed by 5:15, and the cats follow, so she’s able to catch an extra couple of hours of sleep.
My idea is this: start spending the night at the Super 8, located a sparse 10 blocks from our house. We’ll spend the evening with the cats, sit on our own couch and watch our own TV. When it’s time to retire for the night, we can zip on over to our “new” bedroom. At 5:15 a.m. I can zip back home and get ready for the day. We don’t even need to bring a change of clothes.
Now, the hotel doesn’t look all that great, but it’s only $39.99 per night. Can you really put a price tag on a good night’s sleep? I can, and it’s $39.99 per night. Plus, the Super 8 has a swimming pool. Our house? No swimming pool.
I think I’m sold.
I have to admit that last weekend when we stayed at Grand Casino Mille Lac, we did sleep in an extra 2 hours! Instead of Kabuki getting us up at 5:30, we were able to sleep until 7:30. There is definitely something to your theory. However, truth be told, it did cost us more than $39.99. Let’s see, the cost of the room, concert tickets, slot machines, and gaming tables…..I think we would have been better off at home getting up at 5:30!
