So much laundry to wash

Unfortunately I don't live where I can do it daily nor do I really have the time and I don't have enough to make a full load that quickly even if I was able to wash that often. I usually do it at my convenience but since the storm it has become increasingly inconvenient to get it done.

Time? What's that? LOL! I just had a meeting at the museum this morning for something that will make me more busy and if things work out the smae thing will happen in December at another location. At least this time the "busy" is something I want to be doing.

Hey, congrats! Being in a museum sounds cool. Glad you get to do something you want to do. LOL Still envious. LOL

Well, I am a docent so I get to be in a museum whenever there are tours and I can make it. I really should go more often but I am so busy with the rest of my life I never spend time there just wandering around.

I haven't been in many museums. What is a docent? I need a dictionary. lOL

Yes, writer woman you do need a dictionary. Good thing you can find one or two online. Docents give tours.

OOOOHHHH! That is marvelous. I want that job. lOL Well, let me study some history first. LOL I think that is a marvelous job for you and you will be around plenty of people.

Sorry hoh, it's strictly volunteer.:-) There are perks though, like lunch with artists and curator led walks through exhibits.

Well, at least you have the perks. LOL Maybe you can get in the circle of artists that you need to be with to share the love of your arts and crafts.

I go about once a month and do a tour. This time of year I am busy with school and show stuff. Have a two day show this weekend. Keep your fingers crossed!

Oh great! Goodluck! I hope it works great for you. I can't imagine running as much as you do. I am trying to fit in walking around the block after I take the kids to school. I need to concentrate on clearing my head and that's usually the only way I can do it.

It's not really that much. I teach 4 days and I am home unless I am running around with my other half. Women and Wine is only once Wednesday in a month and right now the meetup is once per month. I have been too focused on trying to write. I really need to be making greeting cards and earrings right now for the show this weekend.

That sounds like so much fun! What kind of paper are you using for the cards? Email me if it is secret. LOL I love doing that just for family though. I don't send them to anyone else. They already think I am weird enough. LOL

No secret, card stock. LOL

Seriously, like the kind from wal-mart? Or is that staples? I really need to get out more. I keep doing to much laundry. LOL

I get it from a lot of different places some times but the main stock coes from Michael's already scored with envelopes.

I am trying to think where our Micheal's is. I was there a long time ago. If it is still in business, I'm not sure I want to go back because all the other stores closed down around it. LOL

Walmart wasn't always big. The fact that it causes businesses to close says something about it's founder but it also says something about those little businesses and their abililty to stay open. What about the places that remain open in spite of the existence of Walmart?

Oh, I didn't mean wal-mart. Micheal's was in a shopping plaza by the railroad tracks on the wrong side of town. The stores around it were dollar general, big lots and beall's outlet. I was devastated when bealle's moved out. You could buy clothes in there for a couple of dollars and they were brand new. Man, I miss them. I think the plaza actually had some problems because there was a fire or something that closed the Dollar General. They just didn't come back. Bealle's outlet got hit by the economy as did the Big Lots. I can't even remember the other store that was there. I think it was the job link.

Big Lots closed????? Are you kidding? What kind of town are you living in? Big Lots is the place to be! The one in California sells wine! When I saw that I was jealous!

It was in a really bad area, so I think maybe they closed because of the crime. They probably weren't making any money with thefts. I think they moved the store, but I haven't been to that area for awhile.

That makes more sense. I get so much stuff at Big Lots from pasta and snacks to craft stuff.

HEHEHE. I was there yesterday. You won't believe. They shut down big lots to move it to a smaller store in the plaza. That just does not make sense to me! At least it is still open. I love that store, especially for Christmas gifts. They have stuff I don't see anywhere else. One year I got my mother-in-law a bird cage from there. I decorated it with ivy. She wanted it for her kitchen as decor.

I have to head out that way now. There used to be one a couple miles from me but THE STORM took it. I am so sick of saying "the storm this" and "the storm that."

I really hope everything gets back to normal for your area. Heck, I hope all the US gets back to "normal" soon. LOL I just got back from the po, bank and wal-mart. I don't envy you a bit, going out now. LOL

I ended up spending yesterday afternoon with a friend chatting over a fabulous bottle of wine. The perfect ending for my long crazy week.

I am glad to hear that. It's nice you were able to relax a little after everything you have gone through this week. Is the other back yet and handling things okay from earlier in the week?

He got in Sunday night. We had dinner Monday and I could feel something was different but that is to be expected after a loss. He still spends a lot of time "in the clouds," lol, which can drive me crazy, but that's what happens when you deal with creative types.

The question is creative at what. LOL I have a dreamer on my hands too. Sometimes he's planted so far into reality I can't take a shovel or a wand to get him out. LOL

Well I am not sure I would say creative thinking! Some days he is so far out there, way past the clouds that he drives me nuts.

OHHH. Just a man! LOL

Ha Ha! I've had some unmentionables discolored before when something bled in the laundry and you're absolutely right!

I always wondered about turning stuff inside out since if you got anything on the clothing the soil would now be inside while it was washing. Some things it makes sense to turn inside out like velour or items that lint easily.

If I had kids I would never get it all finished!

I often wash colors and towels more frequently than other laundry loads as those are usually the things I will need first. Whites are usually a low priority.

For us, it's almost the same in quantity since we have the kids uniform and my husband loves wearing white so we need to have a scheduled date for the white and colored clothes. Have a great laundry day while doing mylot.

Your kids' uniforms are white? Wow, do they stay relatively clean or do they get dirty? Most school uniforms here are khaki pants and a colored shirt.

Their top is white polo and khaki pants. My husband's undershirts and some polos are also white and we used to wear use shirts at home-- so cool and comfortable . That's why we have a schedule for white clothes to be washed.

I think most people in the states reserve white for summer and special occasions because it can get dirty so easily.

Yes i observed that in the US they're so much into white clotes. White clothes are really cool to wear during summertime and other light and pastel colors.

The tradition of wearing white in the summer came to the US via Europe. White and linen fabric are very comfortable in summer and white reflects heat.

Ever since my grandmother ignored the care instructions on the label for one of my favorite garments and caused one color to bleed into another and mess up some other things i have guarded my laundry as if it were the family jewels, lol!

I wouldn't blame you. Were you able to replace it or was it one of a kind? Do you still have it?

My other half used to insist on using bleach for whites and towels. You can imagine what he did to my dark colored bathrobe.

lol we got to love them noone else will lol

You've got that right!

That is plenty!
