Mark's Birthday and The Orange Dryer


Orange Dryer
Originally uploaded by Wavesprite.
Today is my sweetie's birthday (I won't say how old he is). Anyways, so far he has had a relaxing day, EXCEPT.....I was doing laundry and Austin had left an orange crayon in his jean pockets dying our dryer (and most of the load of clothes) orange.

Poor Mark spent about an hour getting the orange color out of our NEW dryer with WD-40!

We are getting pizza's tonight for dinner and Austin and I made a cake this morning.

On a side note, did you know if you google "Crayon in Dryer" you can find a website that tells you that orange is the most "dryed" color????? Interesting fact, huh?

Yes it was a chore to clean the drier. Gyll and I took turns cleaning. I knew it was going to happen sometime. I left tons of stuff in my pants pockets when I was a kid. Brings back some good memories of fun. My B-day was great. Thanks for the wishes.

Oh my... orange? LOL! My son did that with black crayon but it got all over the clothes... thank goodness it was his clothes only! I am sure the orange crayon is one of many surprises your dryer will turn up. My son caught a lizard, left it in his pocket and when all was said and done, I had a perfectly shaped, yet dead, lizard!
