To Whom It May Concern

Lars is completely fictional. I have only been wedded in blissful union one time, and that is to Cameron. :-D If you are still worried about me for making up fictional husbands, you probably have every right, but please begin worrying about the mass consumption of chocolate by all females instead. Thank you.

Have you ever stopped and considered what people would think if they saw you doing your laundry? I hadn't before last night. We have the perfect view of a laundromat out our back window, and I often people watch as I do dishes (or simply stand gazing out the back window - it's much more fun to gaze than to wash dishes!). You may not be able to judge a book by it's cover, but you can certainly judge resident or vacationer by their vehicle. For instance, the Mercedes owner I saw parked out there one day. Definitely an out-of-towner. First of all, there are very few people in this town who can afford that kind of car (or people who live here year-round anyway) and plus, if you CAN afford a Mercedes, there is a good chance you can afford your own washer and dryer too! And then there is the much loved camper that I see parked behind the building every couple of weeks. There are usually curtains hanging in the windows, but yesterday, I saw a heap of stuff inside of it. Definitely an Idaho redneck resident. No question. And then the man who pulled up in a huge truck with a four-wheeler in the back. He was wearing (I'm guessing on brand) Carhartts and a khaki button down shirt. He only had one small bag of laundry. That concerned me. From the dirt on his truck and the four-wheeler, I would assume he spends much time outdoors, thereby generating many dirty clothes. Why wasn't he washing all of them?? I would say he probably is a resident too, but I want to reside as far away from him as possible. Anyone who doesn't wash their clothes probably stinks!

I don't know if I am as meticulous at folding my laundry as some of the people I have seen in there, but I do have some weird habits. For instance, my towels and washclothes must have the tag folded inside and not showing. I want them all facing the same direction when I put them away, and if I let myself be really OCD, the stripes need to be all the same direction as well.

What weird laundry habits do you have? Or, like Four-Wheeler Man, do you just wear your clothes till they can stand alone? If you do, please don't tell me! I like you as you are and don't want to know that! And if I knew that, I would probably feel compelled to do your laundry for you. Just sayin'.

For those of you wondering about our house plans, we discovered that they are really expensive last night. I think I will frame them and hang them on the wall once they are completed. They will be the pricey-est art we own. We are thinking that the house we can afford will look something like the picture below. Please feel free to come visit often - I'm sure we will be able to find someplace for you to sleep!
