I need to replace the flannel, they're pretty threadbare.
I have a set of maroon and green plaid flannels that I loved into tatters. Seriously, the last time I tried using the top sheet, my foot went straight through.
I've retired the pillow cases and bottom sheet to Bartleby's beds. The pillow case he's sleeping on right this minute has numerous holes.
Not sure why, but I just can't let them go. I think...oh my god...I might have purchased them when I was married. Nawwwwh. They couldn't have lasted for 20 years, could they?
I still have a couple of pink floral pillow cases that were my grandmother's...so they have to be at least 50 years old. They are softer than air and tear pretty much every time I breath on them. But so, so comfy.
I try to launder sheets every week, but it sometimes goes two. Plus any time I think I might have company over. I think I've turned the mattress two or three times since I moved here 3 years ago. (It went the previous four years with no turning, but I almost never slept on it while I had the comfy soporific couch in my living room.)
2 beech, 3 flannel, 1 t-shirt, 7 cotton sets and a few mis-matched individual cotton sheets - that's for my bed and the guest beds
1 beech, 1 flannel, 2 slippery something, 3-4 cotton sets for the two beds in mac's room.
I have some sheets that were wedding gifts to my parents, 44 years ago. I have some pillow cases that were my grandmother's. And I have at least 2 top sheets that were mine from elementary school age, so they are at least 30 years old.
Justified
Timothy Olyphant is very easy to watch in this.
I have a set of white cotton striped sheets that I wash every week. The beech sheets sound interesting, though. I have 3 or 4 other percale sets and a set of cotton flannel that are currently taking up space in my closet. I should probably give a couple of them away.
Now watching Romeo and Juliet on E. Forgot how cute young Leo was.
I have two sets of sheets, but mostly I wash one and just put it back on the bed. Also they don't match-- pale blue fitted sheet, and darker-blue striped top sheet. I like them, though.
I hit my 1000-word writing goal for the night. Go me!
Timelies all!
Mini Fest was fun, rest of the weekend's pretty quiet.
Aaand now I've misplaced my favorite gloves. I swear I threw them in the laundry basket, but they don't have appeared to be in either load. Damnit, I don't see them anywhere obvious.
And I knicked my knuckle making the bed. Who
does
that?!
msbelle wins at sheets!
