Very clever! OK, Maggie, I don’t have anything erudite to contribute other than to say that I loved that Flaubert quote and how that tied the two items directly above it together. Very clever!

In fact, she *attempted* to make the bed before she left. She essentially folding the sheet and comforter and placed them at the foot of the bed. LOL! The bed has fully recovered now.<br/><br/>Had I know I believe I do have one of those blankets with the satin along the top. I'd have dug it out!

I'm a bath person too, but for me it's in the morning if I have time, which I usually do. I don't have to be at school until 10:30.<br/><br/>Hellion, I'm with you until the underwear aspect! At my age more is less...disturbing. RevM, now I know what to serve you for dinner! I’m a bath person too, but for me it’s in the morning if I have time, which I usually do.

Hellion, I’m with you until the underwear aspect! At my age more is less…disturbing.

And I must have mayonnaise with turkey sandwiches and mustard with ham.

And I MUST have cornbread stuffing for Thanksgiving or I spend the whole next year sighing wistfully and regretting it.

Strangely very little of the situation has changed, now that I think on it.

And I don’t share “my” blanket either…how funny.

When I was a little girl, I sucked my left thumb and scratched the satin off my blankets with my right hand until I shredded it. Don't know what that means, except I had to get braces eventually. I have my own blankets to mummify in too, separate from "our" blanket.<br/><br/>Terrio, I wish you'd come to my house and straighten me out. But i can't leave the bathroom unless the shower curtain is hung just so, so maybe there's hope for me.<br/><br/>Tiff, hope you enjoy the King Cole. My new tea kettle came today! Yay, except the mail carrier discovered me in my PJs and robe at 10:45 AM. I was going to tell her I was a writer...but she told me if she were home, she'd be slugging away unshowered and undressed, too! You'll be happy to know as of noontime I'm clean and clothed.

Not that I'm ever really cold, esp in this heat, but I think everything is comfortable and homey when there are blankets. But not just any blankets, but the ones with the satin edge on them?<br/><br/>And they have to be the right kind or I won't curl up with them.
