IT'S COMING....

Valentine's Day that is.... it kinda crept up on me. I don't have cards, any 'treats' for my special people. My husband mentioned on the way to the airport last night that he'd gotten a reservation at one of our favorite local restaurants, and he'd like to get me something....

So, I was thinking, something large and sparkling????? Ah, yes. But, instead I think I'll tell him, that since he ALREADY bought me something large and sparkly I'll forgo a gift this year.

After all, I did get the most kick ass laundry stuff in the world.... and heard the best of all statements...'get what you really want babe.'
Doesn't get much better than that- does it?

EARS.....

My ears are not better. Well, maybe a little, but definitly not right. So, with that bit of happy news, I must see a Ear,Nose & Throat Dr.

Now, bear in mind, I only work 2 days a week. Tuesday and Thursday. I HAD to take last Thursday off to 'receive' my lovely new washer & dryer... so it's only natural that I'd have to take THIS THURSDAY MORNING off to see the ear guy. But honestly, I can't stand it. Someone has to do something.

So, off I am again. I'm going to be so popular with the powers that be. NOT. But, at this rate, I probably won't be able to hear anything they say anyway!!

What???????

IT'S HERE!!!

My new washer and dryer arrived today!!! Whooo hooo!!! I've been doing laundry all day and enjoying it. I'm quite certain this will pass and I'll go back to thinking oh crap, we either have to go buy new underwear or have to do laundry. But for now I'm over the moon.

Here's a little peek at laundry Hades... it's been upgraded from laundry hell... and just like a pair of new shoes necessitates a new handbag, I got a new floor. How could I expect these two beauties to sit on that nasty floor? Really?

pretty snazzy huh? Actually, I think I can safely just call it my laundry room....except for the walls... ugh..

MONDAY'S WASH DAY....

not here. Not this week. My washing machine died. Really truly dead. And I'm not mourning it's loss...So my husband and I went off to purchase a new one. One word really only fits here

WOW.....

those babies are expensive. But hell, it's only money, you can't take it with you right? Right.

So I got some pretty fancy stuff for laundry hell. My laundry room is in the cellar of this fine old house- thus the name for it. There are cobwebs, concrete floor, pipes showing, funky other things left undiscussed... you get the idea. So with that said, as I was picking out a stainless steel washer and dryer(because my dryers on it's last legs too), adding in the pedestals and getting the cool steam features I about threw up. I could drive it and not be embarrassed it cost so much. I really did kinda hyperventilate- and my husband kept saying- get what you want, get what you REALLY want....

So, as we left, my husband said, 'well, you got exactly what you wanted'.... not really, I wanted red, but it wasn't offered with all the other cool amenities...but I didn't say that. I mean geesh- I wouldn't want him to never utter those magic words again..

do I have to tell you EVERYTHING????

I'M A BLOGGING SLACKER...BUT...

I have an excuse. I do.

I haven't felt good all week and so today I stepped out of my norm and went to the Doctor. I couldn't stand it any longer. My ears... OMG.... they were exploding. With good cause, I have a double ear infection- as a matter of fact, the Doctor actually said...'you have a little kid double ear infection'. Yeah.

So, that's why I haven't blogged all week. Pretty good excuse huh? Couldn't make that one up. Nope, and anyway, why would you want to????

So, this is how I cured it, or at least how I contemplated curing it. It's a famous old artist's remedy
