Detergent Snob

I know you've been waiting for 3 long days for the Texas Aggie in Florida to make a blog entry, so naturally you're all thinking, "Wow, three days without an entry, she must be working on something REALLY good!" Well, sorry to disappoint. My life has been totally uneventful this week, which is a much welcomed change from last week.

Today, I was putting my 6th load of laundry, yes 6th out of 8, into the dryer. Oh did I mention that the laundry was all done on Friday, so 8 loads have accumulated since Friday. Someone please play the violin of sympathy for me! Anyways, as I reached down in the washer and came up with a big handful of crispy clean clothes, I couldn't help but notice how WONDERFUL they smelled. And I don't just mean in comparison to the ronchy odor they were when I put them in. But as far as detergents go, this was like WHEELS OFF awesome smelling aroma! And the difference you ask...it's TIDE! Yes, I have discovered I am a self proclaimed DETERGENT SNOB! There is just nothing like Tide y'all. For the first 7 years of my marriage I allowed Cary to buy whatever was on sale or whatever they sell at Sav A Lot, which isn't Tide, but a few weeks ago I convinced him to PLEASE let me return to the detergent of my youth. And there's just nothing quite like it. So ladies who aren't using Tide, the REAL DEAL detergent, drop those bottles or boxes of powder of whatever you use and run right out to get you some Tide. You won't regret it. I promise. Nothing cuts the stains like it either. I wouldn't steer you wrong. And for those of you who have ever been guests in my home and have been subjected to the smell of the "other" detergents on my sheets and towels, I'M SORRY! From now on, rest easy when you come to my house. May you be blessed by the Tide, original scent!

And just now, Ashton has added yet another load of laundry to my day. As I was sitting here typing she was in the bathroom washing her hands, or so I thought. Then I noticed a stream of water flowing into the dining room from the bathroom. She clogged the sink with toilet paper and has had the water going for a very long time. She was already dressed for church, but had to have another bath and another change of clothes, not the mention the 4 towels it took to dry the floor and the rugs which now need to be thrown in the washer. See, another load of laundry! She had put Olay body wash all over her clothes and hair and was "washing" up in the sink. Fun times these are!!!
