okay, the trick to fitted sheets is this: do not put your bed against a wall or in a corner. that way, you have easy access to all four corners of the bed and can easily slide each fitted corner on the mattress. if your bed is already in a corner, then put wheels on it so that it moves easily. (the wheels are also great for easy cleaning the dust bunnies underneath.)

i think a duvet cover is used when you have a down blanket that costs a fortune to dry clean. you place the down blanket in the duvet cover and, when it's dirty, remove the down blanket and wash the cover. saves on the dry cleaning costs and inconvenience. [gee, i never realized what a suzie homemaker i really am!]

yes, marie osmond has had work done. a recent article said she now looks more like donnie than ever. to my eyes, it just looks fake. i don't understand this plastic surgery craze. i especially dislike the plumped up lips. now that that's said and done, i would, however, have lifestyle lift (neck) surgery in a minute! sigh.
