I think I like my new washing machine, but even better my daughter loves it!  Our old one spent months making loud noises and finally started spilling water on the floor.  I was not about to pay another $500 for a new drum for this monstrosity, so I just used it until it was totally dead.  On Saturday, lovable hubby spent hours running to Lowes (several times due to their errors) and installing a new high-tech front loading washer and dryer just for me.  I'm not sure it's a love gift, just a tool, but that man loves his tools.

Now my daughter is running to the laundry every time she heards the bells ring.  I hardly have to lift a finger when it comes to laundry the last few days.  I'm sure she will tire of the chore soon, but I am enjoying it while it lasts!

Now if I could get her, or big brother for that matter, to love cleaning the kitchen just as much I'd be in heaven!
