2. I lounge around a little longer, until Anika's misbehaving prompts me to get out to help.
3. Before getting out, grab the top of the sheet and blanket, 'balloon' it up in the air, and let it settle down so it's smooth all around.
4. neatly flip a corner up and slide out.
5. Flip corner back.

The bed is now made (good enough).

Takes about 6 seconds. That's about as much time as the job warrants, IMO.

No replacing a comforter, bedspread or decorative pillows, then?

Just for looks....Rick hasn't made the bed too often since I re-decorated.

I think it was George Carlin that said, "Why make the bed, you're just going to get in it again later and mess it up?"

IMO, there is no excuse for being sloppy.

That's why they call them "throw pillows." You throw them at the headboard and see what kind of random, "artistic" arrangement you can make.
