it was loud.. and people could hear me driving from a neighbourhood away..
(the awesomeness note.. now that they did something to the muffler or whatever it is they did.. Gordie is going to live for YEAAAAAARS!!! he's a '94 and still has alot in him! wahoo! they were also impressed that Gordie still has all his old parts.. I'm very proud of him!)
anyways.. on our way back home (we were in two separate vehicles)
I lost site of Aryk's truck! (it was rush hour)
and drove the rest of my way home (almost missing the exit)
looking ahead trying to see how far ahead he really is!
I get home and look at my phone (for driving and being on the phone is illegal)
and Aryk sent me a text saying he went to pick up gas,
we were GOING to grocery shop together but since he is already there.. and I'm at home.. it was decided that he will do the lone bug grocery shopping trip.
I was like "HMM.. HOW can I be helpful?" so I did the dishes.. started making lunch.. swept the floor..
then I got the clever idea of washing Aryk's new clothes (for he often puts new clothes on the bed or couch after shopping and thats often how people get bed bugs!)
so I saw that his new jeans needed to get washed separately so the colours wouldn't dye other clothing
PERFECT!! thats handy and helpful!
Aryk comes home all thrilled about all the thrilling things he got on sale from the grocery store
and I'm all thrilled that I was helpful while he was gone and we both got so much accomplished
I mention the jeans in the washer
...
oops
..
Aryk's work pants were in there..
and he has work in a half hour..
he jumps up and races to the washing machine "NOOOooOOoooo!!"
the machine seems to be on a childlock.. it can't seem to get opened..
long story short.. Aryk had to wear wet soapy pants to work..
"see Kristen? my life really wouldn't be the same without you.. for I'd be wearing dry pants to work"
:(
