Laundromats

Close to the top of the list of things I hate, you will find: going to the laundromat. Our washing machine is currently broken (won't spin) which means that alternative methods of washing are necessary. If I had an unlimited supply of underwear I think I could last a couple of weeks, alas it is not so. Luckily I have a wonderful friend who is willing to let me do a load here and there at her house. It is probably a blessing in disguise that our washer happened to break at this time because I am looking for a new place to live. If our laundry were currently fully functioning I might be able to convince myself that having a washer/dryer, or at least hookups, is not a necessity.

That brings me to another thing even higher on the list of things I hate: house hunting. I will spare you the trauma I have experienced but seriously people, you want to charge rent for that!?! If I am ever a landlord I think my motto will be: if I wouldn't live there why should anyone else have to? Wish me luck!

And another thing...

So I worked with this great girl named Jennifer, I miss her terribly as she is no longer with our company. She had this great knack for cracking me up. One time, right before our Christmas party, she was really mad at our CEO and she was afraid if she went to the party and had a little to much to drink she might just give him a piece of her mind. She did a little dramatization of how it would go and with slightly slurred speech wagged her pointer finger and said..."and another thing...!" It was hilarious. I wish you could get the full effect, try...hold up your index finger, shake it like there is someone you are angry with standing in front of you, get a dirty look on your face and with in your best slightly drunk voice say, "and another thing." Pretty good eh? So, if I were to drink just a little too much (I don't actually know since I have never had an alcoholic beverage, but if I did), first I would go to anyone who ever dared to call me a home ec. teacher and say, "and another thing, I am NOT a home ec. teacher I am a Therapeutic Recreation Technician!" Then I would go to my brother Bryan and say, "and another thing, I should NOT be driving a Ford Taurus, I am too young to drive a full size sedan." And one last thing, I'm a klutz ok, get over it!
