(Although my husband and son might claim I already do it badly--just nobody's volunteering to take over the job!)<BR/><BR/>And I love the metaphor for plotting--yes, I can only go so far without an unplotted mess forcing me to stop writing and clean things up.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-18649948970060847242008-04-15T11:02:00.000-04:002008-04-15T11:02:00.000-04:00Hi Sheila,I agree: Folding is pretty much the whol...Hi Sheila,<BR/>I agree: Folding is pretty much the whole problem. I hate it a little less now, since I made a shelf of the washing machine top and started folding the laundry directly out of the dryer into neat little piles. Now they go straight from those piles to the closet/bureau, because if I put them in a basket for even a minute -- they'll stay there for a week. Plus the basket makes it seem like a whole extra step.<BR/><BR/>And I hate unloading the dishwasher, too. <BR/><BR/>Although every once in awhile, I put the timer on and make a race of it. I can do it in under two minutes, but watch out for dish damage!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-43755468946535454262008-04-15T08:36:00.000-04:002008-04-15T08:36:00.000-04:00I love doing laundry but I hate folding it. What ...I love doing laundry but I hate folding it. What does that mean? I keep buying laundry baskets which line up beside my bed--all full.<BR/><BR/>Is this related to the fact that I love loading a dishwasher but hate unloading it?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-74501455055739231392008-04-14T19:44:00.000-04:002008-04-14T19:44:00.000-04:00Hey Ro.

I have suitcases all over with a little bit of stuff left in each one of them.<BR/><BR/>On Laundry...<BR/>Why can I not get my little head around the image of Hank in one of her zillion black couture suits and shiny red pumps, perfectly coiffed and standing over an ironing board?
