I laugh because just this past week my husband came out of the closet wearing a sweater that looked like it belonged to a 12-year-old. I'd had a wool sweater of his lying in a pile with 2 of my silk shirts to take to the dry cleaner. Thinking he would be helpful, he washed and dried his sweater. Now it fits me and not him, LOL .-= Jill´s last blog post ..<a href="http://jillbarnett.typepad.com/my_weblog/2009/11/happy-tanksgiving-back.html" rel="nofollow">Happy Tanksgiving Back!</a> =-.

THAT is the TRUTH! I always lose what I've put someplace safe - So much so, that it's a regular joke at my house! And it's not just me, either - both my Mom and Dad are the same way! I can't even begin to count the number of times one or the other of us has said 'well, at least it's safe, wherever it is!' We've found things YEARS after they were stashed! I'm glad to know it's not just us. :-D And, I have to add, I love the illustrations, too! Wow. THAT is the TRUTH!

However, make sure there are no new, yet to be washed for the first time red towels in the laundry. Ones that you would have known to wash separately. Everything came out pink. .-= Katy´s last blog post ..<a href="http://www.birkenmommy.com/2009/09/tomatoes-and-soy-who-knew.html" rel="nofollow">Tomatoes and Soy – who knew?</a> =-.
