Amber is at it again!

On Monday our washing machine finally hit a straw that broke this camel's back. It has been leaking water with every run for a few weeks now. On Monday, Amber washed a load of clothes only to find the clothes soaked in mud and debris after the cycle was over.

We have spent a few hundred dollars in the past two years "fixing" the washing machine. We decided that it was time to buy a new one.

I went to Sears that very same day and bought a front loading one that was more expensive by about $300.00, but it is high capacity, uses 77% less electricity, 66% less water, spins twice as fast as top-loaders, and yields a $75.00 rebate from our utilities company. Amber really wanted to do less laundry, so it was the high capacity-ness of the machine that drove it home I guess.

Anyway, since the washing machine was out of the laundry room, and Amber has this "Manifest Destiny" of sorts regarding painting every room in our house, she called me on Tuesday to let me know that she was going to paint the Laundry room. I came home for lunch in time to move the dryer out for her to start the work.

By the end of the evening, Amber had the first coat all the way done. We're going to have a great looking laundry room!
