Last week in a moment of impulsive shopping I purchased this. Yes dryer balls. Who knew such a thing existed?! But I will have environmentally-friendly, softer clothes for pennies. I am such a geek for getting a big thrill out of this.
Many years ago when Mr M and I were first married we both worked at night alot. It would take us a few hours to unwind, and we'd usually watch TV for a bit before heading off to bed. Usually at 12-2am there would be these fabulous infomercials and paid programming that made everything look so easy "in 3 easy steps." We did a bit of binge shopping and purchased or got 'free' many of those things "As Seen on TV." We couldn't pass up those great bargains. Everything looks fabulous and easy when seen through sleep deprived eyes. Our current garage is living proof of this pursuasive advertising.
Anyway, I thought we had mended our ways. That is until last week. In an effort to fool myself into thinking I had less laundry to do. I decided to just wash larger loads. Nothing gets completely dry the first time through and I usually have to dry a load 1 and 1/2 times, but I'm not willing to give up on the 'idea' of doing less laundry. So I bought these dryer balls, and you won't believe it..............................
but they really work! Honestly. Truly. I'm so excited!!
I love it when things work the way they are supposed to. This is one thing that will not end up in the garage, that Mr M affectionately calls The Hellpile.
You. Are. A. Dork.
Those things look like some kind of sex toy.
