What would we do without men...

I walked in to the laundry room Monday night, with my socks on(that is an important part of the story) and as I stepped on to the linoleum floor, my socks where no longer dry and comfortable. They, instead became wet and squishy, yuck!

You see, what had happened was the washing machine sprung a leak from the cold water PVC hose. What did that mean for Jen and I? Well it meant we couldn't do laundry, which is a girl's worst nightmare and it meant we had to fix the PVC hose. Now as most of you could imagine, Jen and I had never fixed a PVC hose. I mean, how many girls are put in the situation where the Washer breaks and their Dad or boyfriend isn't around to fix it? Well, for us that situation happened! We both are boyfriendless and our Dads live about 400 miles away so this task was ours for the taken.

So, last night we began to tackle the task. We did, however, recruit our friend Kris to come help with the process. We just thought that it would be beneficial to have a male around to help with things like moving the extra heavy machine or tightening the hose ends to the wall or just to explain how the whole process worked. Good thought right?

Well here's what actually happened...
Jen and I fixed the machine. We moved the heavy Washer ourselves to towel the water up from the floor. We removed and replaced the hose on the back of the Washer and tightened it ourselves. Jen managed to wash her face during the process as the water shot from the hose when it wasn't tightened enough...That was an 'America's Funniest Home Video' waiting to happen! We even had time for a photo moment...



What did Kris do during this whole process, you ask? Well he observed...

...with his drink in his hand!

Ahhh, What would we do without men?

Hmmmm....well we would get things done! haha

Outcome of the evening: Washer fixed! Load of clothes washed! Another female accomplishment checked off the list!
