Exhibit A:
Seriously?! That's hot.
Granted, that was right when we got in the car after it had been sitting outside for 2 hours, but still! It cooled down to the actual temperature of 99...also hot.
This leads me to me back to my story...
So, last summer I was 9 months pregnant in August and my dad asked me, "So, have you been using your clothesline to dry your laundry?"
I wasn't upset he asked me that question, I just wasn't sure if he realized how crazy that idea was. A pregnant lady, 9 months pregnant to be exact, standing outside in 115 degree weather to hang clothes out when she had a perfectly good dryer inside her nice, air conditioned house? Um, no. I don't think so. Even though Devin was doing his student teaching at the time and not getting paid, I was fully happy to pay $3 or whatever is cost to dry my laundry in the dryer. Maybe if I was as tough as a pioneer woman I would have used the clothesline, but I'm not that tough and will never claim to be.
But...today I hung the towels out! It's still "warm," not quite hot, so I'll do it for now. And, I'm not pregnant, so I guess I should do it anyway.

I have been thinking that I should hang clothes out this summer. It would save us money, and it is so HOT outside that it would take no time for clothes to dry. BUT I think I would dry my "whites" in my dryer in the house!
Good for you...I am impressed!
Good for you. I wouldn't care to use the clothes line either but why not if it saves some money, right? Be careful though because I left clothes out too long before and they got sun bleached!
