So the thought of hanging my clothing outside terrifies me. <BR/>I am still working on the others. I messed up a few times with the shower because I was feeling sick so I took longer showers. But I just tack on more days to the end.Allisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07547478567598625340noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7676353274986264089.post-27511816543884956942008-04-30T06:52:00.000-07:002008-04-30T06:52:00.000-07:00Welcome Elizabeth.

It is beautiful. Once I get my blog started I'll post some pictures. I am going to hang dry all spring/ summer. I agree stiff clothes make for grumpy kids, but there has to be a solution somewhere online. If I find it I'll share.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16722172926994301229noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7676353274986264089.post-80702906565053241392008-04-22T13:19:00.000-07:002008-04-22T13:19:00.000-07:00Happy to say I hung some wash out to dry today.

Although I ironed my husbands shirt afterwards and that helped the feel, don't know if I'm quite up to ironing more though. I did run the dryer for my towels, socks and our unmentionables but at least it only ran half as Janinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13083428308034026749noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7676353274986264089.post-91133694075829557272008-04-22T10:58:00.000-07:002008-04-22T10:58:00.000-07:00Janine and Allison - thanks for rising to the chal...Janine and Allison - thanks for rising to the challenge.<BR/><BR/>Allison - It sounds like you are going to attempt all five challenges. Really? Let me know if you narrow it down, but if you feel like going for it all - good for you!<BR/><BR/>I'm going to put a little side bar on the blog about the challenge.Robin Shreeveshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10928183794322441640noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7676353274986264089.post-72792243687441381232008-04-22T10:23:00.000-07:002008-04-22T10:23:00.000-07:00I am up for your challenge.

When I hung my son's shirt out to dry he wouldn't wear it because "it was too rough". And my husband is getting tired of all the plastic bags and bottles taking forever to dry in the dish rack.
