Desert Diva

Yeah, yeah, yeah – I know it’s supposed to be “booby hatch,” but the title didn’t quite fit the description.  In the never ending flow of household chores at Casa La “Desert Diva,” I had a little episode with my dryer this morning.

I had a few “not so nice” pieces of underwear – you know, the kind your mother told you never to wear in case you were in a car accident and had to go to the emergency room?  Well, I do those “on the way out” pieces of unmentionables with socks, etc…  As I was trying to multi-task while getting ready for work, I was going to empty the dryer.  However, low and behold, one of my upper body unmentionables was STUCK in the lip of the drum by the fasteners.  It was “booby latched.”  Attempting unsuccessfully to “unlatch” it, I finally gave up and went to work – not an easy feat when one is a “tiny bit” OCD and likes to have “things in place” before leaving the homestead.  That however, is another story for another time…

Late this afternoon I came home and tried once again to remove the offending piece of underwear from my dryer drum.  Nada, nothing, zip…  I finally gave it a “good yank” (the unspoken “fixer” for a myriad of maladies) and it “unlatched.”

Now, completely ruined, my “Jockey for Her” “less than brand new” undergarment was going to have an earlier than expected demise.  However, another “chick” in the household thought it might have possibilities as a bonnet for next Easter.  (Shh – I had to tell her “no” and put the “bonnet” in the trash.)

And just to make things “crystal clear,” the yellowish sheen in the dryer photo is from the lamp (which DOES go off when you close the door – right?) and not from any inability in my laundry “technique.”  Oh yes, and no dogs were harmed in posing for this photo – since there were several treats involved for the model.   OK, where is that three-day weekend?

Spread the Love!
