Send Me A Washing Machine

Laundry sucks. Hand washing clothes is the hardest thing ever. Pretty sure i will be wearing dirty clothes for 10 months. First you have to scrub them. Then you have to rince them. Then you have to ring them out. Then hang them up on the line. This four step process is the hardest thing ever. Dont let the fewness of steps fool you. Laundry out here takes about 30 min to 2 hours depending on how clean you really want your clothes. Theres also the soap factor. Do you really mind walking around with starchy feeling clothes because there was to much soap left in them. I have decided that dirt adds to the missionary way and look, soap masks the dirt smell, and soap creates a nice starch feel without having to iron your clothes. I now am very careful of what i wear because i now know the process of how i have to clean what i wear. Soap never comes out of your clothes and water likes to stay there too. I ring ring ring and rinse rinse, but hmmm water and soap still remain. ha. Laundry sucks, mom send me a washing machine. he he.

Oh Kaitlin - you make me laugh. Thank you for your entertaining messages and I'm glad that when you come back you can make my clothes pretty and starch like. Love you lots - and hey...you look so much more like your sister with your braces off! Miss you. :)
