So Martha Stewart is doing a little survey on her Twitter (of course I follow her!) about bed linens.

She is asking people how many sets they own and how often they change them. It got me thinking..."how often is one supposed to change their bed linens??" I did a search to see what other people were answering her and the majority of answers seem to be every 4 days to once week.
Okay.
Let's be real people.

I am a total neat freak and I only change my sheets maybe every other week. Sometimes....I let it go to three weeks. (eeep!)
But!!! I don't have pets, i don't spend time lounging in bed (heck, I hardly spend time sleeping in it) and when I have sex, I put a towel down underneath of us cause I don't want anything to get on the sheets. (maybe too much info there but I believed it necessary for this rant.) So I think changing them bi-weekly is enough for a clean freak like myself. At least, it has worked out okay so far
.
So how is it that all these women (BUSY women with lots of kids, jobs, obligations, etc) are changing their bed linens every single week and sometimes every single DAY?? (By the way. these are the same women who purchase only "green" cleaning products and organic food...but they apparently don't give a crap about water and energy conservation?? Figures.) Seriously, not ONE person put anything more than two weeks between linen changes and the vast majority wrote every single friggin week!!
I just find this hard to believe. I mean, I have been in other peoples' homes and I have yet to find any cleaner than mine. When I say I'm a neat freak....I am dead serious. I label, organize, clean, sanitize all friggin day long because I work from home a lot and I have the time and ability to do this. Most people do not have that luxury, which is why I would never begrudge someone for having a messy house. I know that it just isn't always possible.

Sooooo....unless every one of Martha Stewart's followers are crazier and more obsessive compulsive than I am....there can be only one other possibility:

They are all a bunch of friggin liars. (<-----most likely explanation.)

Sure, I'll believe that -some- people are bigger neat freaks than myself and may have been telling the truth. But my guess is that the vast majority are just telling Martha (and themselves) what they *ideally* would like to be doing.
It is like when you are driving on the highway and a cop pulls onto the road. Everyone slows down to the speed limit and acts like they were doing it all along. That is, until the cop turns onto an exit and then everyone speeds back up to 70 mph. Except in this linen scenario, Martha Stewart is the cop.
Get it???

Sooooo....now that Martha is not looking (I find it unlikely she has an SG membership so I'm pretty sure the coast is clear)....

How often do you guys really change your bed linens?????

Honest answers please!
