A Twisted Tale


Talk about karma: after teasing Alfie's mother mercilessly for her antiquated laundry methods (i.e. she dries her clothes on a clothesline), we now find ourselves with a broken dryer and fifty feet of clothesline strung out on the side of the house. I've had to twist it back and forth through the trees so that I have enough space for all of the wash.

What a twist. I, the eternal laundry procrastinator, who likes to leave at least a week, preferrably ten days, between laundry days, now find myself having to do laundry daily. Ugh.

    Ugh! I'm sorry for this twist fate has dealt you! I'd hate to have to hang my wash too. I do the laundry everyday already but still the hamper's never empty! Hope your dryer gets fixed soon.

    I don't have a clothesline and I'd love to have one, even if it's twisted like yours :)

    Aw! I don't know if that's twisted or just SAD-heartbreaking, really! I hope your dryer is fixed/replaced soon.

    Sorry to hear about your dryer. Hope you don't have to go too long without it, but it made for a cute twisted entry!

    We've always done it that way but I could get used to having a dryer. I hope yours will get fixed soon.

    Great choice for the theme.
