Heaven is bound with satin edging
I got a new bed in May and finally received my new king-sized blanket. The color I selected was backordered not once, not twice, but three times. It took so long that my credit card actually expired between the time I placed the order and the time they actually shipped it, when they were ready to bill my credit card.
I have a freakish habit. My blankets have to have satin binding on all four edges so that I can run the binding through my fingers. It’s my self-soothing technique when I’m falling asleep or if I wake up in the middle of the night. I also stretch my legs out to the side and pull the blanket side in under the top sheet so I can get the satin binding all wriggled around through my toes.
So, when I opened up the box and found a king size blanket all neatly folded up, with more than 400 linear inches of satin binding, my brain nearly exploded. It was divine to snuggle up with it last night!
Anyone else have this strange habit? Or some other bedtime ritual?
