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!!!
