Laundry

I guess I have been doing my own laundry for about 8 years now...is it sad that I still don't entirely understand the "do's and don'ts" of this craft?

For instance, I always wash my clothes on the cold setting, primarily out of laziness because I don't want to seperate darks from lights, but also beause I have this (mis)conception that it will make the clothes shrink or the colors might run. And with drying, I never know how long you are supposed to set it for (or which temp setting to use) in fear of again shrinking the clothes.

So as I sit at the laundromat, waiting for my clothes to finish, I have a sense of resolve to learn the art of laundry. It doesn't seem all that hard, so maybe if I actually put an hour of "research" into it, I might actually feel comfortable moving up to the permanent press or even hot setting on the washing machines!

I'll be sure to let you know how the "adventure" turns out...
