27. I washed, dried, ironed, folded, and put away a load of laundry in one day.
May not sound like a big deal, but this has never ever ever even been close to being done in my life. It usually goes as follows: I put my whites in the wash. That's Day 1. Day 2: Put whites in dryer, put darks in wash. Day 3: Put darks in dryer. Day 4: Bring laundry basket up to my room. Rare Occasion: Fold and put away laundry. Less rare occasion: stick laundry basket in the middle of room, pull clothes from it when neccessary.
I only did one load of this though. I will tell you why: I could have done the whole everything, but most of my day was tied up, and I only just finished, so I wasn't about to keep going. Plus, so rarely do I iron, I believe I caused even more wrinkles to my clothes. Note to self: Practice ironing.
My day was tied up because I went to the mall with Caroline tonight to help her find a job. I offered to let her take me to the mall, and she would fill out applications. So she got seven applications, and filled them out while we ate dinner (it took about an hour or so) then returned them. We also inquired in five other stores, but she needs to apply online for them, so that'll come later.
Also to note:
I bought the most awesome watch tonight at the LEGO store. I have wanted it for so long, but have only ever been able to find it online. It is a Lego Star Wars R2-D2 watch. It is so freakin awesome. It was 20 bucks, and totally worth it. And it was the last one. In other news, I spent like 30 bucks on food tonight, between my dinner, Caroline's dinner, and a congratulatory Cinnabon for each of us, I racked up quite the list of expenditures. I need to stop spending so much money. I have also been spotting people cash lately. If I try to lend you money, stop me. I don't really want to, but will not refuse, because I use money as a bribe. It's my greatest weakness.
I was watching that show "17 and Counting" on TLC tonight. My god, it's so ridiculous. This is the family that has 17 kids and one on the way. They are all homeschooled, they all wear dresses (the girls) they love eachother so much, and do EVERYTHING together, are BFF with another mondo family, and oppose pre-marital KISSING. I am sorry, but come on. What is the dealio-yo. Plus, they're judgemental. It makes me feel not as bad about writing this right now.

That watch was 20 bucks? Okay now I feel less bad about your money spendings. I figured I monopolized way more of your cash.
psh, for sure it was 20 bucks. There is no way I could spend close to 50 dollars on food for you.
loved this post! laughed a lot, had a coughing fit, nearly wet my pants (side effect of having children that no one really talks about), laughed some more, imagined what an r2-d2 watch could look like, coughed some more....my life is awesome.
yes! I love that you had such a violent reaction to this post. In the best way possible, obviously.
