New Toy!!!

I've been playing with my new toy this afternoon!  A new washing machine!  Mine has been torn up for about six months.  We have already paid $100 to have it fixed and it still didn't work right.  Sometimes it wouldn't spin the water out of it... to make it work I had to jerk the agitator back and forth violently and beat on the panel where the knobs are.  It was quite a site.  We were hoping to wait until September because it just made more sense money-wise, but after an intense fight with it on Saturday, Mark decided to go ahead and order one.  Let me just say the fit that I pitched and the fight that I had would have convinced anyone to give me anything I asked for.  I had beat on it and jerked the agitator back and forth and then re-started it about ten times.  Left it alone for an hour and then went back for round two.  For the first time, it kicked my butt... I was kicking it and screaming and crying when Mark and Parker walked in the laundry room.  It scared Parker and obviously convinced Mark not to wait until September.  He picked it up today and I LOVE it!  It is amazing and washes A LOT of clothes.  I've already washed a load of darks and a load of towels are in there now.  I was amazed at how much drier the clothes felt going into the dryer.  My brain is full of the user manual and I'm looking forward to washing a lot more loads of clothes AND not having to fight with it to work.  Now I wonder how long it will take my dryer to quit working...  ha ha!  I'm a sucker for matching sets!  And here is my new washer... Yes, I love it that much that I had to hug it.  I plan to keep it looking shiny and new for a long time... unlike the old one that looks like it set outside in a hail storm from all the hitting and kicking it took.

  1. I have been in love with my front-loading washer for about three years now. Yes, the clothes are drier when they come out! I'm also in love with mine for having a delay start option. It washes a load for me while I am at work!
