Remember the Island of Misfit Blogs? Well, I found some of those blogs mostly written in my GotC email drafts folder. It’s a miracle! Or a shocking lack of organization.
Please enjoy this laundry post that I wrote months ago and which terrifyingly still holds true today. Maybe I’m some kind of visionary. Probably not though, I think the more likely explanation is that there really is a curse on my laundry.
Something bad happened y’all. Real bad. Someone has put a curse on my laundry. I revealed last week that I have a bad habit of not taking my clothes to the dry cleaners and then ruining them in my washer. And that’s on me y’all. That’s on me. I admit that. But something else is going on with my laundry, something way more sinister than shrinking sweaters in the dryer. My laundry is multiplying. MULTIPLYING. Exponentially.
Like the Geminio curse (you know the one, the one that almost made Harry Potter and friends drown in a sea of golden goblets in Bellatrix Lestrange’s vault at Gringotts. Yeah, you know the one.) my laundry is taking over my entire apartment and I’m afraid to fall asleep because an underwear avalanche could happen at any moment. My laundry is EVERYWHERE. On couches, chairs, the dryer, the washer, in the laundry basket, on the floor, and in the refrigerator. (One of those is an exaggeration). And no matter how much I wash and dry my clothes, they keep showing up not folded in my dresser or hanging up in my closet. They have been cursed and can not enter those places, so they find other places in my apartment to live. Seriously, my apartment looks as if I might be a clothes hoarder and yet there is plenty of room in my closet and dresser but I just….can’t….get….the clothes….there.
I suspect Steven Spielberg is behind the curse.
It’s a conspiracy. I have this curse, too!
This was one of my favorite ones recently of yours! It is hilarious and reflects sadly upon the way my one bedroom apt. looks after both my daughter in her 20′s and I do laundry! Thanks for the chuckles!
Laundry? What is Laundry? You mean those piles of clothing laying about the floor are actually not supposed to be there? Dang, my husband has to do something about that I knew there was something I forgot to tell him.
I knew you were exaggerating when you said “laundry basket.”
LOVE YOUR POSTS
Exactly what has happened here. So thankful we’ve got a support group going.
I have the exact same problem. My poor desk chair has an increasing pile of sweaters and pants on it because I don’t think they’re dirty, but I don’t want to hang them up either. The poor thing has clothes on it more often than my actual butt. These are the trials of our lives.
I do the exact same thing except my clothes end up on a couch. I know it’s silly and yet I just keep doing it…
Our brains always say “silly”, but our hearts say “JUST DO IT”
Love the Harry Potter reference!
I try.
Haha! I keep wondering how my socks and bras end up strewn all over the house too. Wherever those dogs and puppies are unleashed is where the restrictive clothing lands. And then on laundry day I’m wondering where all my stuff is
My laundry is chaotic but I usually know where to find stuff…I think it’s just how my brain works. Which is scary….
My laundry is under the same curse!! Did you ever undo the curse? Maybe you could give me some tips!
Nope. I’m still cursed. Maybe even worse that before.
Wow, your clothes have an ability to walk!! Hmmmmmmm, You’re going to have to call Sherlock Holmes to solve this one… Either that or you’ll have to walk the streets naked… Take your pick >.<
I pick Sherlock Holmes. Although the other option was tempting.
Good Choice!! *thumbs up&
Oh, THAT explains it I kept wondering how I kept having to bring hampers to the laundromat the millisecond the last stray piece was folded and hung….
No. It’s definitely a curse.
That must have been some interesting laundry to beat out the Fraggle Apocalypse…..lol
It didn’t beat out Doomsday Fraggle Rock, I’m still working on that one.
I just found this one fully written in my email so I thought I would use it.
THAT’S IT! That explains everything! And I thought it was just my laundry!
No- this is apparently a very popular curse.
“One of those is an exaggeration.” That was a difficult question to ponder first thing this morning. Since people will look for their errant car keys in the freezer, I immediately ruled that one out…hummm, must be the dryer. Yep, obviously you have an empty dyer if the clothes are congregating everyplace else. And a word of advice, do not, emphatically, do not try the Hexed Laundry cure that is periodically found on Wikipedia…as pouring liquid bleach over all the places the laundry has taken a shine to will leave an unwanted odor in the house.
You’re logic is infallible. And I will definitely avoid pouring bleach around the house.

I knew it was Tash!
There’s only one solution. You’re going to have to throw an ape through a stable door. Or maybe a talking ginger cat. And then bang your sword on your shield and go “Tash! Tash! The great god Tash!”
Hahahaha – I love this – oh and I also love your y’all – we don’t say that over here!
You should start a trend of saying y’all. People will love it!
I’ll only do that if you start calling everyone ‘mate’ like they do here – eg. how ya going mate?’
I’m on it!
