Amanda vs. the dryer

Storytime!
July 2nd, 2005 we moved into our house. Yaay! Had to buy a washer/dryer. Were young and poor. Went to Lowes, walked to the back (where the cheaper ones are) and bought the cheapest set they had. Oh boy! I really hate doing laundry. I always forget about it in the machine and folding it is like having to cut off my arm. So I only do about 2-3 loads a week. Those of you with kids, keep your statistics to yourselves, I cant handle any more loads than that. At least while I have a job.... Anyways. So the dryer decides it doesnt want to dry. It gets really HOT but the clothes are still wet. So I put it on tumble with no heat. Still not dry. This goes on for hours, sometimes days. Last night I finally had it. I hung up towels and jeans to dry around the house. It was entertaining. Then I went online and searched for a new washer and dryer. I looked at a lot of different consumer reports websites, blogs, etc. Wrote down the top models. Went to Sears, Home Depot, Lowes and Best Buy's websites and compared models. Overwhelming at first, but I trudged through and narrowed it down. Decided Sears was the best bet. All day today at work I was chatting about it, emailing Tamara and Erika for advice, etc. Stopped by Sears on the way home to see how it would all go down an walked out with a new credit card, filled with my washer, dryer, pedestals and delivery charges. They are being delivered Sunday. I hope. I feel bad people have to work on Sunday, but hey I work all week and I cant sit around waiting for them to come. So, if you know of anyone who needs a washer, mine is fine and used and for sale for $200. Call me. In the meantime, here is a pic of my newest toys:
