Have you ever left your own party to do laundry?

[rpms]

Christmas was a big noisy bash. It was fun but the tablecloth took a beating. There was a mountain of really dirty tea towels that I didn't like people reusing.
My fussy aunt told me to soak the tablecloth. It was a welcome relief to leave the scene. How quiet and peaceful it was in the laundry room. I figured if you have to soak, why not toss in a load?

There were times when I was growing up I would have loved to have done just that.  BUT, the laundry room was right off of the kitchen/breakfast room/den and the mother would have had a stroke.  And I couldn't run the dishwasher until after everyone had pretty much headed back to their houses.

Not exactly

One Thanksgiving morning when I was in my early teens, just before we were about to get the turkey in the oven, some friends dropped by for a "holiday" visit. As the visit dragged on and one, I excused myself, shut the door to the kitchen and got the bird out of the bag, rinsed it off, rubbed it down, seasoned it and put it on to roast in the foil-lined broiler pan of the GE range tented with more foil. When the people finally left, my mother walked back into the house moaning about how much dinner would be delayed only to find that the bird had been in the oven for almost an hour.

EVERY SINGLE FREAKIN' CHANCE I GET TO HIDE, this is where I go.....that.....and thats were the Vodka is located....lol

there is no better stress reliever!.....start a load of laundry always calms the nerves....it's like having a shot with the Neptunes, everytime it drops a chemical from the dispenser, I take a shot along with it!.....no better drinking buddy out there......

I've said it several time, and if I could get away with it, I would have rather had a Wash-in than deal with relatives on the holidays....one of these days its gonna happen!.....
