The truth about laundry...

The truth is, I love doing laundry. So calming, the sound of machines humming underfoot. And I love folding laundry... nice to see the piles of tidy clothes, climbing ever skyward - see how many clothes Naomi has? Hers is the jumbo pile in the middle! Doesn't help that everything she wears these days is inch-thick polarfleece!

BUT... I can't stand putting it all away.
If it was just about folding, folding, folding, no problem.
But there is just nowhere to put it all. I hate carrying the stuff to everybody's room, only to have to squash it into drawers or under beds or on top of dressers. Ugh.
Partly, we have too darn many clothes!
And partly, we have too darn little space!

And you should see the stuff I've already culled for Value Village waiting in the

basement...

Shabbos Dinner:
~ Veg potluck and Carlbach davening at the Silvers' - Sara's coming (hey, maybe they know some single guys?)... I'm making Oven Fried Rice, which is taking twice as long as I remember to cook, for some reason (1 1/2 hours).

Shabbos lunch:
~ Cholent with matzah balls (Elisheva made the kneidl-mix before I remembered we were out for supper, so we'll toss them in there!)
~ Dunno what else! Oy, we should at least have a vegetable... :-(
~ Mommy-made sticky buns; mmm... nice with butter, oh well...

It's Heart Month: 3 days left to save lives!

Dear Friends & Family: Hi, everybody! Sorry I can’t stop by in person... you're a bit out of my area. :-) We’re out walking up and down on our street on this beautiful afternoon to raise money for Heart & Stroke. This cause is important to me (I won't say it's close to my heart , because that would be tacky!). I hope you'll join me by donating online. Growing up, I watched as every single one of my grandparents' lives were shortened by heart disease and strokes, and my father had a defibrillator that saved his life on more than one occasion. Heart disease and stroke kill 1 in 3 Canadians and are the #1 killer of women. Please click this link to be redirected to my main page at the Heart & Stroke website: http://tinyurl.com/AtlasHeart Thus ends my personal appeal.
