We’re still deciding whether to fix or replace our problematic washing machine (flood starter). I think we’re leaning towards replacing. Y’all know I like new and pretty. Today, I rushed home from work, gathered the week’s laundry, and headed to our neighborhood laundromat. If there’s one thing that I learned during my apartment living days,…

the great flood of 2009
Last night, I put a final load of laundry in the washing machine. Ironically, a load of towels. I headed off to bed while Greg, thankfully, stayed downstairs and watched tv. Around 11 pm, Greg woke me up and told me that we had a little problem. Evidently, the washing machine got stuck on the…
