I usually find stuff like this:
And this:
I have no idea what that blue circle is. That's what makes doing laundry so EXCITING.
I really like finding this:
I consider it a tip for all my hard work.
What I DON'T like is finding stuff like this:
Uh, yeah. That's Sam's cellphone. The one Santa brought him last year. The one that I use to keep track of him (and Caleb, at times). The one that helps me feel a little more relaxed and less neurotic.
Just in case you were wondering, cellphones are not machine washable. I repeat, NOT machine washable. They are dry clean only. Apparently.
Strangely, I also found this recently:
And this:
Weird, huh?
OK, so not really. I may have actually purchased these recently and just wanted to show them to you all. I LOVE them! But I must say, it was an accident that I bought two purses, or as they say here in Jersey...pocketbooks. I had no intention of buying a new handbag that day but one of them just reached right out of the aisle and jumped onto my shoulder. They wouldn't let me leave the store without paying so what was I to do?
And the second one? Well, it looked like a fraternal twin of the first one and I couldn't separate them, right? That would just be cruel. Everyone knows fraternal twins shouldn't be separated.
OK, so really, I couldn't decide on which one. I planned to take one back after I got home. I stopped by a friend's house to ask her opinion. She liked them both and was ready to steal the silver one right out from under me! Her 6 yr. old daughter loved them both, too, and suggested I keep them both. I didn't want to hurt a 6 yr. old's feelings, you know? So I "accidentally" removed the tags from both and now they are non-returnable. Oops.
Dave knows about the first one...but not the second one.
Oops. I guess he knows now.
For those of you who may think these bags are a little "bling"...you don't live in Jersey. You don't understand what it's like here. I also wear rhinestones on my hats and shirts. I wear shiny lip gloss and today, no kidding, I swear I used the hair dryer and some hairspray at the same time! I guess I'm turning into a Jersey Girl! Eeeeek!

You do not even know how hard I was laughing at your post. I loved it and thought it was way super clever and hysterical. I'm loving the OUT OF CONTROL purses you showed at the end. YOu really are turning into a Jersey Girl! Oh Me Oh MY! Those have some bling on them girlfriend. Hilarious! I just can't see you with those. I'm giggling to no end. Maybe you'll send me one for Christmas eh?
So, I'm digging the silver one... not so much the other one! I like how the silver one is bigger than the hole in your washer!!
AAAnnnndddd, you failed to inform your readers just exactly WHO taught you how to bling out your wardrobe!!
By the way, blow dryer and hairspray on YOUR hair?? Oh dear.
so you are finally a Jersey Girl! Stepanie Plum would be proud...and with good reason; Jersey Girls are smokin' hot! :-)
Very funny! I wish my washer would magically produce new shoes. :)
Don't feel bad. I washed my house phone once. I heard strange ringing coming from the laundry area and wished I'd investigated. But, no, I ran the washer and now I only have one phone. My mom dropped her house phone into a pitcher of lemonade that same month. A total loss. And my dad has washed his portable hard drive three times - but it is still working. Go figure.
That was funny. Okay, so the size of those purses still does not exceed my tote! You need to compare pictures, one against the other. Mine will win. nOw as for the bling action, you win hands down. Can't say I covet that!
OK, so my laundry nightmare was the day I opened the dryer to find Mike's permanent ball point pen had sprayed ink on every single item in the dryer. He had his favorite Nordstrom shirts, my marathon sweatshirt, and various other "good" stuff. I was not happy!!!
