Appliance Lust
Posted by Kym under General
Remember when I was talking about how I wanted one of those Duet Washing Machine combos? I was lusting after them. Lust is not good, so the Bible tells us. I guess this is a matter of perspective. Perhaps I should blog that sometime about how perspective is everything. Or maybe I should blog about how lust is everything. Anyway… Guess what? Go on, guess.
It looks like my washing machine died. [Hold back big grin.] I am sad. [Pregnant pause] Ok. Not really. But I am sad that I am going to go fork out more money then one should spend on an appliance. But I am so excited at the possibility of fulfilling this fantasy. I’m like a school girl with a crush. I just can’t stop thinking about it. They are so pretty. And just so you don’t think I’m shallow, I am also appreciating what is inside… 22 towels at once! BE STILL MY HEART. I am not going to settle!! No-sir-re-Bob. I’m going to have a full fledged affair. I am going to go buy the ultimate washing machine! And since this is the stuff that fantasies are made of… I’m going to do two at once, double trouble. Yes I’m going to get the dryer too. Just mull that over in your mind a few times. Oooooooh baby!

I must say the single best major appliance I have bought in a long time was our new washing machine. I’m still giddy about it.

You actually own 22 towels that you can launder? I think I have four and then the guest ones which are for decorative purposes only and I refuse to have guests over in fear that they might dirty the “good” towels. Congrats on the combo purchase. I bouth a combo pair of shoes this weeknd (left AND right foot) does that count? Please say yes.
Love your site. Now, I have some blogrolling to do!

We are building a house and my husband and I fight constantly about what to give up so I can have that washer and dryer set. I will get them! Even if we have to have linoleum instead of tile in the kitchen! It is totally worth it!

Not only 22 towels, but they will wash two kids and a dog!!!! We love our Duets!

I’m very envious - I know you will enjoy them - I do hope you have a good home for them - a nasty old utility room just would do - and please do describe fully when you actually get to try them out so I can launder vicariously

I’ve been appliance dreaming too lately. My oven quit about three weeks ago but we are in the middle of remodeling our bathroom! While I wanted to buy my dream appliances, I decided to hold back and bought the cheapest thing in the store to hold me over another year. Sniff. I felt It had to. It comes today
Be careful with the new machine. My mom bought a new Fisher Paykel that everyone raved about on eopinions — and it was horrid! There are new water usage restrictions mandated on wash machines now and with it, they aren’t washing good like the old machines. Worse, her clothes were spun so dry in the wash, they came out a wrinkled mess — too wrinkled to hang dry for delicates. Worse, it even burned the clothes. Thankfully, she convinced them to take it back and they did fearing a fire risk with a product that wasn’t tested quit right!
Not to scare you — Good luck
