Laundry Day

I'm sure that the thrilling-sounding title of this post has lead you to believe that the following is going to be an action-packed play-by-play of the excitements of laundry day.
Well, you're right.
Cuz yesterday was definitely not your average laundry day.
First of all, Jenni rocks my socks (which are now clean) for inviting me to her parents' house to do laundry, which subsequently lead to me saving $7.00. Shut up; that's exciting, okay!?

Prep-time:
4:00 am - Vanessa, Julie, Davie and Stephen quit playing cards and call it a night.
4:30 am - Vanessa reads for half an hour because she can.
5:00 am - Seems like a pretty decent bedtime to me.
11:00 am - Jenni wakes Nessa by grabbing her arm with an ice-cold hand, and comes back into the room periodically, cooing ridiculous terms of endearment until Nessa relents and finally gets up at 11:45.
12:00 pm - still in P.J.'s, Nessa wanders into Jenni and Julie's room to find them practicing up on their Dutch Blitz without her. *gasp!!!!* scandalous!!! She joins of course. Then MJ joins.
Yada yada yada...
We play...
stall...
brush teeth...
dress...
do sit-ups...
3:00 - We [Jenni, Julie, MJ and Ness] finally leave the W.F. for Nicholasville (next town over), crammed into the car with giant bags of laundry, and Alfred, of course.

Alright, good start!!!
Now we only have to sort, wash, dry, and fold six loads of laundry.
In between loads we watch movies, eat pizza, sing & play guitar, "pony" excessively (yes, Michelle, as in the ballet move-- oh be proud), play our mouth-a-phones [DOO-EE-DOO-EE-DOO-EE-DOO-EE] nap, play nertz (not as good as Dutch Blitz, but it had to do), mourn the loss of the planned Richard Simons induced activity (Jenni's mom had lent out the video), and most of all, laugh excessively.

Around 10:00 a shwack-load of Jenni's friends (including Copple, Paige, and Curt) came over and we ended up playing Four on the Couch. Guys won the first round, but the gals made an amazing come-back to win round two. Thrilling, I know. Stay focused, we're almost done.
Guests leave.
Since we had lost MJ to a movie date with her Opera snobs (j/k) hours earlier, the three remaining housewives-in-training fold the last load of laundry, download Jann Arden songs (How can people go through life without knowing Good Mother and Insensitive??!!), finally pack up and come home.
2:00 am bed-time, much more appropriate than the night before.

TONIGHT WE ARE GOING ICE-SKATING!!!!
I can't believe how long it's been.

Until next time,
(Keep fit and have fun???! -- Stupid Hal and Joanne)
Crap. Now I have the theme song stuck in my head.
