note to self: never let someone else install my washer

i thought weekends were supposed to be relaxing and all... well, this weekend was the weekend from hell. so last Thursday i got a new dryer and i guess the washing machine missed its old buddy and decided to die too. i was doing a load of wash and it started jumping around. it moved so much that i couldn't even open the laundry closet door. anyway, so we had to get a new washer. my fiance' had to work all day saturday so i did mad yard work (now my muscles are sore). so then after he got done with work, some guy from his work went with him to get our washer and then they brought it home. the guy set it all up for us and then he left.

so the next morning, my fiance' had to work so i got up pretty early to do some wash in my new washer and do some sewing. (that sounds really house-wife-ish doesn't it?) anyway, so i did a couple loads of laundry and then i walked into the kitchen and it was FLOODED! so i ran to the dryer and the tube that drains all the water out had come of and water was gushing everywhere. so i paniced and called my fiance and was screaming and the guy was there with him and he told me to just let it all drain out and then mop it up. well, jackass who faulty-ly installed my washer... its kinda hard to mop up a "Super Plus" load amount of water. i seriously spent 4 hours cleaning up the water. it even got some carpet wet. UGH! so then when my fiance came home we went to go get some clamps to hold the tube on and my car wouldn't start. so we took his car and went to the auto parts store to test the battery. they said the battery was fine. they said it might be the alternator and to bring the car up there and they'll test it. so we jumped my car and brought it up there. they said the alternator was still good. so no luck. so we took the car home and now its starting fine. that damn car. so then we went to wal-mart and we all know how bad parking is at walmart. so we fought for a parking space and got the stuff we needed and went home. then we put the washer all back together and then we went to bed.

so i guess it wasn't really HELL-ish, but i sure didn't get any rest! i need a vacation.
