Laundry

We all hate doing laundry. Admit it. I've never known anyone that looks forward to doing the never ending chore. Some put it off by stopping by the store on their way home from work to purchase a new shirt in order to put the dreaded chore off another day. Others have a two month supply of underwear and socks... just in case. Sometimes clothes end up scattered around furniture and floors because there is no more room in your hamper. I'm not saying any of these circumstances apply to me but I've heard from friends and such. The following case however was something I felt needed to be share and with permission I do so. It was a completely random instant message sent to me from a friend at work the other day.

okay. This may be TMI. I have to vent.
It's time to do laundry. So I'm wearing my last resort panties. They're HORRIBLE! There's this GIANT hole under the waist band that tears just a little bit more every time I pull them up. Then there's the fact that really is no point to pulling them up (or wearing them at all for that matter) because by the time I walk from the bath room to my cubical they're already down around my thighs. The ONLY thing that holds them up at all is the the crotch of my PANTS! so now I'm wearing some kind of weird mini skirt w/ giant holes in it..... *sigh*

Moral of the story. Don't put off doing the chore for TOO long. Either that or keep a three month supply...

Please don't run into me.

Saturday was an interesting day. And when I say interesting I mean OMG I’m going to die in my new Nissan Sentra that I just bought three days ago. Which I guess we should talk about that first right? My nice little 1998 Honda Civic died on me the poor thing. The cause you ask? Ohio weather. Kind of ironic right? More specifically the winter weather with all the salt on the roads. Three main, apparently important, pipes under the car rusted out and needed replacing. Add that to the 20 other things (give or take a few) that were wrong with the car and I felt it time to get something newer and healthier. So I bargained my way into a 2006 Nissan Sentra. Of course I wanted another Honda but they were just too expensive for my measley income. My new car is nice though.

But Saturday. I had to make another trip to the dealership, Honda if you were curious, for them to adjust one of my headlights and pick up my sad Honda; aptly named Don. They gave him a car wash though which was awesome. He's so clean now! Just in time for me to sell him. Anyhoo.

I was driving to the dealership with one of my roommates. We were almost there and then.... whoa! Say hello to a white SUV coming in my lane about to run over, or into, my much smaller new car! I had a delay in response because I had never used the horn before. In the mean time my roommate and I let out girly screams (thankfully we're girls) as my roommate grabs onto me as if that's going to save us from a car wreck. Thankfully however the lady realized we were there and pulled back over. I thought I was going to have a heart attack directly following the incident. The lady did feel bad though. She decided to not pull over into our lane and instead drove up next to us and waved and said sorry. That was nice I suppose.

So it was an adventure. One I hopefully will never have to make again.
