Heaven

Oh fine! In regards to yesterday's post I have been properly chastised and, if I ever find myself with child again, I will feed the fetus fruits and vegetables and I will not dump excessive amounts of salt or sugar straight into its little body.

I'd like a machine that shifts the washed laundry directly into the dryer so that all I do is put it in and then come back to fold it. Well, actually, as long as we're dreaming big here, I want a machine that folds it, too. Somewhere in a cemetery somewhere, one of my ancestors is rolling in her grave thinking about how lucky I am that I don't have to walk down to the river to wash my frock with a stick.

It's 67 degrees outside and it feels like heaven. That is to say, it feels like what I imagine heaven to feel like on a slightly more chilly day. Obviously if I were dreaming up heaven it would be 80 and when I looked out the back window, there would be an ocean. And I would somehow know how to surf. And Caramel Java Chillers from Sonic wouldn't be fattening and I wouldn't have to urinate all night long if I drank one.

  1. I say you pour salt, sugar AND fruits and veggies into your future offspring. Heck now that's well balanced diet! :)

  2. You know, they do make machines that wash and dry the load. Very popular in England since their homes are so small. I suggest 2, so you can get 2 loads done at once!

    You are on your own for folding.

  5. and, in that 80 degree weather, your house would be a cool 69degrees because of the air-conditioning. which we, by the way, do not have.

    we've used one of those washer/dryer thingies while vacationing in scotland. gave me the creeps for some reason, thinking that my dirty clothes would actually come out clean and dry. i had my doubts. plus, everything is so small in the uk that we could only fit like 5 shirts in there at a time.
