Laundry Night

Joann — Wed, 28 Apr 2010 15:27:44 +0000

Rather than doing laundry on Saturdays like my mom used to do, I do laundry on Wednesday nights. I can start a load when the first 30 minutes situation comedy comes on at 8:00, then switch the first load into the dryer when the 2nd comedy comes on and put a second load in the washer. Then, when the 3rd comedy comes on, I take the first load out of the dryer, put the second load in the dryer, and start folding clothes while watching the show. By the tie the last comedy is over, all the clothes have been washed, dried and folded, and if there are one or two pieces that need ironing, I can finish it up before the evening news is over.

Mountains of Laundry

Usually I do laundry on Wednesday nights. But I had something else going on last Wednesday and then again this Wednesday I did not do any laundry. So today, I am facing a mountain of laundry. It is going to take at least 6 hours to run the machines to get all of this done. Sigh.

Cuddle Up!

Baby it’s cold outside! I mean it is COLD! I can’t get warm tonight and I’ve been home for hours with the thermostat cranked. At least I have my dogs to cuddle up and help keep me warm on the cold winter nights.

Building our Snowman

We’ve got enough snow on the ground to make a snowman now. I have been gathering up the accessories for his face, the broom and a long scarf. We are heading out the door now for some fun in the snow!

OMG – A Snake!

Went out to my car to go to work. Noticed sometime odd near the front tire. Stopped to look and it moved! OMG! It was a snake!

Just a little black snake. Don’t think it was dangerous. But OMG! I’ve never walked up to a live snake before except at the zoo! It went across the grass to my neighbors yard. Hope it stays there!!!!!

Snooze Alarm

How many times can you legally hit the snooze alarm? They have laws about everything else in the world. I guess they should make it illegal to hit the snooze alarm more than 3 times. Protect the world form all those lazy people who won’t even get out of bed on time. Send them to jail where they HAVE to get up.

Get Organized

Joann — Thu, 04 Jun 2009 18:04:39 +0000

Which pile is it in? Where did I put that? Am I ever going to read those old newspapers? Do I have to keep that? I’m drowning in paperwork.

New Cushion

Joann — Tue, 02 Jun 2009 22:01:09 +0000

The outdoor swing that I bought last year has a cushion that is not only incredibly dirty from being outside in the weather and elements all year, but now it has little specks of mildew all over it. It is too big to fit into my washing machine and the cover does not come off – there is no zipper anywhere. So I guess I am supposed to just toss it out and replace it. Except I cannot find any replacement cushions anywhere for a three person swing. At this point I don’t even care what color or pattern is on the fabric. I just need a cushion that fit my swing so I can sit on it and watch the cars drive by.
