busted pipes

It’s another one of those nights… just like the “tire” story. And, once again, I don’t feel like retyping it, so you can just read this fun little instant message between me and my sister (she’s in red).

*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*

Holly: OMG, last night sucked

Holly: so i’m washing my clothes, and you know how the water leaks outta that pipe in the back of the machine sometimes?

Tina: yea

Holly: I remember earlier mommy said “Something’s backing up the sink…” so I stayed up to make sure the water didn’t get everywhere.

Holly: sho ’nuff, it started leaking, but it was loud.

Holly: so I ran out into the garage, and the water wasn’t even going DOWN the pipe, ’cause it was backed up…so water is just going EVERYWHERE

Holly: I’m like… shit, how do I stop this water? so I stop the machine and grab a whole bunch of towels and put them on the ground

Holly: there was SO much water, tina… like all the way under the corvette n’ everything

Tina: ooooooooooh!

Holly: so I’m trying to be resourceful, but there’s only so much you can do at midnight , the night before an interview, and you tryin’ to get some clothes clean

Holly: so I grab the trashcan, take out the bag, and put the pipe in the trash can to collect the water

Holly: when it got full, I was dumping it out…

Holly: Do you know how heavy water is?! Oh my gawd.

Holly: so this nasty ass soapy water is splashing all over me, and I walk outside and dump it out.
that was the end of that idea.

Tina: LMAO - i’m crying

Holly: so I try to start the machine again, and it WON’T START. i guess i left it off so long that it won’t start in the middle of the cycle.

Holly: so i’m fucked. I got some soapy ass clothes and a flooded garage.

Tina: ow, ow, my stomach

Holly: so i gotta take my clothes out, wring them out and take them into the kitchen sink to get some of the soap off. after i do alla THAT, i put them in the dryer… but the clothes are so wet I’m thinking the dryer is gonna catch on fire so I stay up.

Holly: THREE HOURS LATER, my clothes were dry.

Tina: LMAOOOOO

Holly: I thought smoke was coming out of the dryer, but it was just all the steam because the clothes still had a lot more water.

Holly: Holly’s arms ain’t no washing machine spin cycle.

Tina: dang, after all of that, you better get the job

Tina: that’s better than the tire story, lmao

Tina: are you sleepy?

Holly: AWW MAN! It’s bad when I top the tire story.

Holly: not really

Holly: and I know i didn’t get all the soap out. lol

Holly: I better blog this.

Tina: how did you dry the water under the vette?

Holly: i didn’t. i just threw down all those towels, and it was evaporated when i woke up
so this morning I had to wring out all those towels and hang them outside, and i mopped up the rest of the water

Holly: I told Milton and Mommy this morning and they said “yah… we should get that checked”

Tina: that’s so funny

Tina: LOLOL

Holly: I’m like… you have no idea.
