Why do laundry?

I would like to preface this next post by saying Abercrombie and Fitch men's fleece (and probably woman's fleece too) are very soft and warm. If you are looking for a good, warm sweatshirt you should go to abercrombie.com and order one-- I am sending you to the website because I cannot in good conscience send you to the store to get your eardrums blown out. I guess I am at heart a middle-aged women.

Moving on

Why do laundry when there is a jCrew located between where you work and your room, and when that jCrew is offering an extra 25% off of all sale items on the very day when you ran out of clothes to wear? It was like some supreme power was speaking to me today as I walked back from work in my jeans, thinking how bummed I was that all my shorts and skirts were dirty and how hot and miserable I was going to be today in jeans. For some unknown reason I turned left at the corner instead of heading straight back to my room, and then I walked into jCrew when I was very aware that I have no money (hence I was at work). So I walk into jCrew and look around (they changed their stock, again) and I was drawn to the sale section, were (I swear angels started to sing and a light shown down on this woman) a helpful sales woman told me all sale items were an extra 25% off. Amazing.

one pair of shorts + three tank tops + cute pajama pants < $45

reasons to never do laundry
  • invariably the washing machine and dryer will conspire to eat at least one article of clothing
  • you will always forget to pull out your favorite [insert here: shirt, skirt, dress, pants] before drying thus [insert here: shrinking, fading, loosing] it
  • takes way too much time
  • the guy you have a crush on will definitely be using the machine next to you when you drop your oldest/most like a kite pair of granny-panties on the floor and being the nice guy he is will stoop to retrieve them for you
  • lugging it down to the basement is way not fun
  • forgetting about it only to remember hours later after someone has removed them sopping wet from the washer and placed them on the dustiest, dirtiest open flat space in the laundry room
  • it just sucks
  • jCrew (or A&F as I am sure they have great ones too-- just not in between where I work and live) sales
