wash this way

Me and appliances... not so much. Based on previous rants history with all things expensive that have motors, why am I surprised that my washing machine luck would improve. After yet another washer breakdown (yes that makes five total in less than three years), cheapskate momma here decided to bite the freaking bullet and just buy a new washing machine. damn it. I hate to spend money - haha! Well, I needed a washer in a hurry because, as all moms know, laundry piles up quick around these parts and laundry is just my thing. If there are stacks and stacks of laundry I start to hyperventilate. It's my small attempt to stay sane and feel somewhat in control of the housework. Don't look at my floors. Mopping ain't my thing.

I thought I would try my luck at our one and only local home improvement store hoping to land on a fluke discount/dent washer. Boy, was today my day. Some poor little granny purchased a fancy dancy washer and dryer that had too many bells and whistles. After one load, she decided she hated them and promptly returned them. Thank you granny. I owe you one. You can now call me the proud owner of not only a new washer but a new dryer too! Good ones at that, not the cheapo low end version I probably would have ended up with otherwise. Hi cutie - welcome home!



We would also like to welcome your dryer friend home too!



I know it is completely lame, but I am so excited to do laundry tomorrow once they are delivered (free delivery! yippee)! Knocked down from $999 each, sweet Fran at Lowe's cut me a deal for $600/ea. SCORE! After taxes, extended warranties, etc my total came in at $1500. Still, not so bad for state of the art, highly reviewed appliances. TGIF!
