Poor Old Girl!!!

My washing machine blew up last night, not literally like a huge explosion or anything, but pretty much just died, dead, kaput!! Poor girl, I guess I wore her out with all of the washing I did yesterday!!! I am kind of sad about this, I have had that washer and dryer pair since I started graduate school at UT, like 10 years ago. She has been through many moves with me and she was a good old reliable washing machine. I guess it was inevitable, but I am still a little sad at the passing of an era of my washing machine!! I am also sad at the amount of money that is going to go to buying a replacement for that old girl:-))

We decided that it was only fair to her to replace the dryer as well, since he is about on his last leg too!!! Right now, he takes at least 4 hours of hard work to dry a load of towels, seriously!! So, today, I ordered a new washer and dryer. Don't get me wrong, I am totally excited about these new pretty appliances that will be delivered to me shortly, but sad that I didn't get to spend that money on something more fun, like, well anything really. And I will be sad to see that old girl go, she was a good old washing machine!!

But, to ease the pain a little bit, I decided to pick something that would make me smile when my old washer and dryer were replaced, and what better to do that than some pretty WILD CHERRY RED appliances:-))



Not too obnoxious, is it, well maybe a little, but oh well!!!

So, on to a new chapter in our lives, with some pretty new red appliances. Maybe laundry will not take me days and days now that I will have a pretty new washer and dryer that work!!!

Rest in Peace Old Girl!!!

Snow Day

Reagan got to experience her first snow here in Texas recently. Now usually, we really do not get much "snow" in Texas, but it happens from time to time. It just so happened that this time, it snowed, alot!! We got close to 12 inches of snow, a foot of snow in Texas, unheard of!! And I think that this was the most snow that has ever fallen on North Texas at one time in the history of Texas!! We were very PROUD and excited to make the history books and get to enjoy all of the snow. Reagan was not sure about the snow, she could hardly move in all of her snow gear. She tried to get around at first, but after several failed attempts and several faces full of snow, she decided to sit and just eat it instead!! Here are some pictures of Reagan enjoying her first Texas snowfall!!
