A Little Sunshine and Loads of Laundry

Good grief at this Alabama weather! Less than 2 weeks ago, we had the biggest snow of the season...then, this past weekend was absolutely beautiful and sunny high 60s. It's such a tease because it has already been back in the 20s and 30s partly-cloudy-typical-winter-weather this week, but how wonderful it was to see a little sunshine even if it was short lived!! I may have jumped the gun, but the beautiful weather nudged me to go ahead and take down my Winter Decor (which I would have put away in a week or two anyway) - my snow village and snowmen - and break out just a few Spring things, starting at my front steps:

Can you say SPRING FEVER?? Because, yes, I have it - in the worst way. I'm ready to see daffodils and tulips and Cherry Blossom Trees blooming!! I know, I know - I may have said before I HEART Snow, but even still winter is just starting to get, well...too long.

In other news, Brad and I spent approximately 2.5 VERY LONG HOURS looking, deliberating, and finally spending a small fortune buying a new washer and dryer Monday night due to our dryer deciding it was time to officially STOP. Why on earth these machines are so expensive is just beyond me - I'd much rather spend money on something fun, but it's kind of a necessity - having clean clothes - ya know! A great big gigantic Thank You to the Redmond Laundro-Mat (aka Val and Rob's house) this week for allowing me to bring in my piles of laundry and take over both their laundry rooms (yes - rooms - as in 2. Valerie enjoys laundry so much, she decided to have double the fun :))

Thankfully, I will not have to bag up my laundry to take to wash much longer. Take a look at these beauties that will be arriving at my house on Friday:

I mean really - I am officially OLD...I'm actually excited to get a new washer and dryer. Never thought this day would come. I have a feeling though that as the mounds of laundry pile up, the excitement will fade and the newness will quickly wear off...
