What better present for a woman than a washing machine! Never mind that I need $200 worth of textbooks by Monday, no, I need a new washing machine.
Since my family moved into this house (my junior year of high school, so 9 years ago), they've been using an abusing a washing machine that should have been thrown away years before we moved in. It's been literally held together by athletic tape for years. You can only put 1/3 load in it or it won't spin. It's settings are all broken, so you only get to wash them one way. It's rusty, smells like rotten eggs, and has dog hair trapped in odd places. The only thing that's not disgusting is the actual barrel where the clothes go in.
So several months ago my brother gave my folks a newer washing machine he found in a tenant's garage after they moved (after so much time, property left is forfieted to the super and tada! He's the super). So this machine, which just needed a new hose, has been sitting in the garage for months.
A month ago, my mother and father bought a brand new car. A 2011 Kia Sorento. With the storms that have been raping the midwest this summer, my father was forced to clean out the garage so the brand new car doesn't get hail/debris damage. So the new washing machine got fixed and cleaned. Today we installed it. It's fancy! It has settings and it fills very fast and it washes a FULL LOAD OF CLOTHES and it's heavenly. With school starting on Monday, I'm going to be able to spend less time doing laundry and more time studying! Hooray!
