Laundry

Really... I do not mind to do laundry anymore. Having the machine in the house is great. Having the dryer is a live saver. Having them broken down totally, is another story.

From what I understand the washing machine is apx 21 years old. The dryer is like 10 or more. I think it is time for brand new energy efficient machines. I have been thinking and saying this for a long while. Last week I was in BB with Germ and we looked at them. The men we found working in the laundry department were morons and "not working in this department." SOOOOO we didn't purchase anything. Fine, not a problem, we have time. That is what I thought.. last night.. in my attempt to be a housewife, the 21 year old machine decided to not empty fully, not a problem, I though, are we off kilter, no, lets run another cycle, that ought to do it. A trick that I have from previous months of working with an old machine. I run another cycle and come upstairs to the living room, then I fall asleep. I go down this morning saying a tiny prayer that it worked and what do I find. A machine FULL OF WATER AND TOWELS. This, I tell you, is very exciting. Needless to say, we marched on over to Best Buy and got ourselves a new set of LG steam machines.... For the price I paid, they better fold the clothes also.
