Laundry

We had a pile of laundry so big and so great that we almost lost Eric forever. But nothing turns laundry into a party like snacks and an Elvis record cranked up. Like magic, t-shirts get washed, socks get dried, and towels get folded.

Speaking of Elvis and towels, I went looking for my current favorite Elvis song "Love Me" on youtube to play along while you read my blog (why not add snacks and make it a party?) but found this clip from a concert that The King dialed in to one day. He is actually singing "Love Me" but it's extremely hard to tell. The back up singers are like "What the...?" Elvis is like "Where am I?" and the towel replacement dude is reminding himself, "I beat out 7,000 people for this job." The best part is that the audience doesn't seem to mind that Elvis doesn't know the words to one of his greatest hits or that he forgets that in order to be heard the microphone needs to be held to his mouth and not his ribs. They only mind if Elvis skips over them and hands one of his 400 sweat towels to the next person over. I can't believe that he didn't hand one to the cute granny. What a sham.
