If you haven’t already read my post entitled “TRENDY” click HERE to gain little perspective before reading any further.

Now, I realize that this post will most likely lead to endless ridicule from our friends and family, but I would like to take the opportunity to remind you that we all have “those days”. You knows the ones. The days when everything seems to go wrong but it eventually reaches a point where it’s no longer frustrating, it’s just funny. That was tonight.

Kristin and I headed up to “The Mat” to do more laundry than I would like to disclose. Let me just say that we hadn’t visited “The Mat” in two weeks and even then we only did our essentials so you can imagine the amount of laundry we had. Anyway, after filling our car with whites and darks we headed up to the laundry mat for an evening of fun. Somehow we managed to forget our detergent (again). We refused to pay “The Mat” prices again so we took a quick trip to a nearby Publix. We quickly grabbed the cheapest detergent we could find and headed back to the laundry mat. As we were loading our first of many double-loads, we were horrified to discover that we had actually purchased the cheapest bottle of fabric softener. We were still detergentless. So, once again we were forced to pay for the high-quality products provided by “The Mat”. At least this time we caught a bit of a break. Instead of paying $4.50 for a bottle of TREND, we spent a mere $4.00 on a bottle of top grade PUREX. The evening wasn’t a total loss. We did get our laundry done AND all of our new “Mat” friends were there, so Kristin got to hold her new little friend.
