Houston, we have a problem...

I have had some complaints from my avid readers about my slow posting habits. So for my fans, I have posted the following picture of the washing machine to explain what I've been doing when I'm not posting:




Yeah, that's our bedspread. Which I realized didn't fit in the washer AFTER I already got liquid Tide and warm water all over it. So I insisted in using most of my upper body strength (not impressive) to stuff it in anyway (not intelligent). And let me tell you, there was no turning back.

I would love to tell you this story ends happily and that we have a nice new clean bedspread on our bed. That is not how this wretched story ends. And now I get to go shopping for a new bedspread.

*Whoops*

Why am I not embarrassed to tell this story, you ask? I am justifying this from all angles in my head that somehow this was not my fault. Who's fault? Jared's, perhaps. My mother's, more than likely. Laundry life lesson should have occured around age 15, not 24. Most of all, I'd like to blame President Bush (no explanation necessary).

Maybe if I spent more time blogging, I would keep myself out of trouble. And really I would love to but....well, I have some important shopping to do. (:
What's your "whoops" moment?

Summer you are so funny, I miss you guys and wish you lived closer so we could laugh at each other when we do things like that (although I would have probably made the same mistake by now if we only had a washer and dryer!) What a great excuse to get another bed spread. I'll keep that in mind for next time!

cute pics! At least you get to go buy a new comforter. Maybe I should accidently put bleach in the washing machine with ours so I can go buy a new one too!

that is too funny!! Our comforter never fit in our washer either until we got a front loader. I use to have to take it to the Laundry mat and use and industrial size on to clean it!! well at least you get to go shopping for a new one!! how fun!!

ughhh. Bedding is so hard to figure out how to wash without spending a bunch of money! At least you get to pick a new one you love!

Note to Self: Summer Anne is NOT a laundress. Also, wash sheets and don't try what she did.

I think that is one HAPPY ending!!! I think I'll share a whoops moment in Josh's behalf. The time he accidentally kissed the fellow in Argentina. Talk about funny. Welcome back to the blogging world. I hope you continue to participate!!!

You are funny Summer. That's too bad about your comforter, but great you get to have a brand new one. The only whoops thing that comes to my mind right now that I have done(even though I could think of many if I took a minute) is one time I put dish soap in the dish washer instead of dish washing fluid/soap. It overflowed and leaked out a ton of bubbles!

I just discovered your blog! Hey summer! I do have a whoops moment to share- the time I decided it would be fine to wear a skirt and ride a bike and ended up in a stranger's front yard with skinned knees and an elbow. Age 27... You guys look great! Love, Alana
