How exciting!

So we bought a new washer and dryer yesterday.
The ones that came with our place were older -
and the washer smelled like mildew - and
made our clothes smell like it too...
Plus we wanted stackable ones - so that
we could make space and use the other half
of the closet they're in.
So we bought them - and Daniel
rented a truck from Home Depot
to transport them home. That was fun...
because that meant the 'WE' had to
carry them off the truck and into the
house ourselves. Oh my.
The dryer wasn't too horribly heavy,
but the washer is another story.
That story is... it was HEAVY!
Oh - and I dropped it....
We have two steps that we had to left
it over, and it was too much for me I
suppose - and Daniel didn't hear me say
"can we put it down" so before I knew it -
it, my side hit the ground :[
Luckily it didn't break - cause it seems
to be working fine. And I hope it
stays that way!
So I have sore arms - bruised front thighs,
from resting the dryer on them for a
sec while Daniel manuvered his side
into the house. Not to mention
crushed fingers and toes. And we
had some blood spots on the floor
from when Daniel sliced his thumb
on a metal pipe. Awesome.
But they're hooked up - and are
working fine! But the dryer gets
a burning smell mid cycle - but then
goes away and is fine the rest of the cycle.
It's weird.
Well anywhos - Dmitri LOVES them!
The washer is on the bottom [cause there was
no way I'd be able to lift it onto the dryer] - and he
just watches it spin. I was putting the dining
table and rug back into place tonight,
and was vacuuming the rug while a load
was going - apparently the excitment of
the washer going - and the vacuum going
was too much for him! He was laughing and
jumping and yelling! It was funny :)
Here's a pic of him watching the washer...
Wonderful!
A not so wonderful thing... I think
I shredded a gecko in the
garbage disposal.
Basically it's been acting weird this past week
and now that 'more' of it [gecko] has
come up, I know why.
Gross.
And I think I picked a chunk of it up
with my bares hands last week.
I'm totally grossed out.
