it's cool to be a grown-up
i've just spent the last 45 minutes sitting on a little stool in my laundry room in front of my washing machine.my NEW washing machine.
MY NEW, FRONT-LOADING, BILLIONS-O-CYCLES, OPTIONAL-EXTRA-THIS-THAT-&-THE-OTHER, HIGH EFFICIENCY, TOTALLY AWESOME WASHING MACHINE.
i loaded my clothes, poured wisk h.e. & downy into the compartments of the cool little tray/reservoir dealie, turned some dials, pushed a mess of buttons and then hit start.
...then i grabbed my treo & started taking pictures of the washing machine, washing clothes, highly efficiently!
...then i walked away for a moment to read the manual (because in typical geek fashion, you don't read the manual until AFTER you've established what ALL the functions are & firmly believe you have the whole thing figured out & want to check the manual to make sure you're right. anything you find in the manual that you didn't already know about is an easter egg).
...then i heard the cycle change from wash to rinse & i got all excited & ran back to watch it some more.
it was better than watching tv. it was freakin' amazing!
i love my new washing machine so much, i give it a thumbs-up. i'd marry it if it would have me.laugh at me now, but wait 'til you get your own brand-spankin' new washing machine. until then, you haven't really lived.

in a strange way, i understand. my building's drier had problems and now it works fine and is *free*!! so my roommate has been going crazy washing and then drying (for *free*!!) almost everything in our apartment. perhaps she too would marry that *free*!! machine if she could. cheers
is it just me, or is anyone else reading omar's comment and making a strange face every time you read the word "*free*!!"?
