Pretty In Fucked Up Pink

I put all of my expensive summer sweaters, good linen and cotton tops and frilly, yet machine washable, not cheap nightgowns and all around delicate objects into one pile. I am a bit of a laundry snob. These things must be washed separately from the rest of the normal everyday nonspecial laundry. Sometimes these things will accumulate for a week and then I wash them all in one load as most of them are white or ivory or light colors.

Yesterday I carefully swooped them all from the top of the dryer to the washing machine, poured in the detergent, slammed down the lid and flicked the switch on. Went on my merry way.

Last night, as I was bribing Terry to hang up my tops and nightgowns for me while I ran to Publix to retrieve his pint of Ben and Jerry's Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough and various other items, he opened the lid and discovered all of my best stuff was now a pile of pinkish splotchy heartbreak.

Everything. Ruined.

It seems that as I was swooping I managed to accidently scoot a burgandy placemat into the machine with my stuff. These were also in their own little pile on one corner of the dryer as they are the most color bleeding bastard pieces of cloth I have ever had the unfortunate experience of owning. I knew I should have thrown those fucking things in the garbage a long time ago.

So, every item of clothing I owned worth having (and the only things that barely still fit me) is now sitting in a Carbona Color Run soak. For the second time. The first time didn't work. Then I Cloroxed the hell out of the load, which probably just ruined everything even more, but what the hell am I going to do with pink swirled clothes? They were still pink this morning. So now they are soaking in some chemical stew. How long should I torture myself before I give up?

This is some sort of sick punishment God is giving me for that whole red thing, isn't it?

Note to God: I swear I won't spend any more money buying the freaking red couch if you just turn my stuff the right colors again.
