the Single Unfitted Sheet Fiasco (SUSF)

So today involved more registration (well, trying to register without any luck) and more Intense Heat! It was really hot today.

An Interesting Tidbit (tidWhat?) about Singapore is that they don't sell unfitted sheets. They have lots of varieties of fitted sheets (i.e. those with elastics that go over mattresses) but not unfitted ones. They even have quilts, but not unfitted sheets. P.S. I don't want a quilt because it would be too hot with one'a those bad boyz!

Even in the IKEA of Singapore do they not have them, a trip down there today confirmed this; I assumed it would be THE place to check for unfitted sheets, single size. But alas!

Anyway I just spent the last 2 hours cutting the elastic band out of a fitted sheet but now there are little bits of thread everywhere...and the sheet is fraying, but I don't have to use my beach towel as a sheet anymore. Praise be!

(C)

P.P.S. I meant for the "bee" sound in "Praise be!" and the "see" sound in "(C)" to rhyme, FYI!

Careful Colin. You don't know what kind of legislation Singapore has about fitted sheets. Don't let anyone know you cut off that elastic - you could be hung.

PS - check out my blog, it's new!
