laundry

i dont know why, but washing my clothes always seems like such a hassle. i usually have to do laundry because i run out of socks, and every time, i debate just going to the store and buying new ones instead.
  today i hit the wall. out of socks and underwear...i decided i would just wash them in a bucket full of soap in the back yard.. no big deal... except for the fact that for some reason the weather in texas decided to get cold in the last day and it is 30°outside. when i finally get the motivation to go back outside and give them a final spray down, i dont think they will ever dry. it was 17 degrees last night here.
